Is it ever too late for the first time?

Wow, stand up your believe about sex and marriage. I respect that. There is nothing wrong being a 24 years virgin. My ex is almost 24 but she is still a virgin, and all I can say is that I can only be a good guy once.

I'm a guy and my case is similar to you. I didn't have sex or oral sex until I met my fiancee. I wanted to save myself for the one but that doesn't mean that anyone could be that one. So after I got engaged when I turned 26 and then we did some things but still no sex because that should be left for wedding night. But my fiancee had experienced oral sex with her old boyfriend and that thing torn me apart.

So my advise to you is most of the guys not all but most want to have pleasure in a relationship so its up to you whether you want to make your self available to them for pleasure or make yourself available for love which includes hugging and kissing only and good time. So even if you lose this guy ( but I want you to get married to this guy if he is the one for you ) and you don't get into oral or other sex then you'll never be guilty about yourself and vice versa.

And one more thing guys always respect a girl who doesn't get into such things with other guys except them and same happens with woman too.

I'm telling you from my personal experience. Although I love my fiancee very much but 'coz of the things she did with her old boyfriend ( although she just had oral sex which was not often ) have always made me sad and I'm unable to love her 100%.
So choice is yours.

You have absolutely no reason to worry . Since you're careful about the guys you select, there's little doubt you'll select one who will be sensitive to your needs, and who won't mind at all that you're a virgin, and indeed cherish that fact . Chastity is not antiquated or a lost cause, though that's what most people will lead you to believe . Some people still view it as a virtue, and I don't think you're even close to being called an "old maid" or a "spinster"--names that you may dread .

I think it's good that you've done research about sexual matters, and you're in touch with your body and sexuality . That's the majority of the battle when it comes to sex . You should realize that many, many girls who are having sex are not as well-off as you are, because they have no idea what it means or what should feel good . You've had plenty of time to consider the implications, and you sound like someone who would try her best to please her partner .

With the right guy, your first time will be great, and it will only get better with time .

I agree with all these guys . There is nothing wrong with being a virgin . In fact, it's good . You have avoided so much pain and heartache that you won't ever realize . You are not a loser for not having sex . You have self respect, you are confident, you know what you want, and you're not whoring your body out to get attention from guys . All of those make you very respectable . If I had a choice, I'd go for a virgin over a non-virgin anytime .

I would hold a girl that is still a virgin at an older age at a higher respect then if she were not one . If she has enough respect for herself to know what she wants and is willing to wait to get it then she is worth it to me to teach her what she needs to know

I would be fine with it. When I'm attracted to a girl, it's because of her personality and looks. It has nothing to do with her sexual history.
And I wouldn't have a problem with showing her the ropes. If she's important to me, it's worth it.

I do not want to sound demanding, but if a guy who can't appreciate the fact that you have been waiting out for someone special, then he is not worth it . I used to have the same mindset as you, waiting until marriage or someone worthy . But of course, people change over time =)
Anyhow, if the guy who you are having sex is a true gentleman, he would be very flattered and thrilled . Out of all the guys in the world, you chose him to give it to . He should also be thrilled at the possibility of teaching you new things and watching how you react for the first time . I don't know about you, but first experience for anything is usually the BEST .
I don't think a sensible guy would be freaked out about having sex with a 24 year old virgin . And it is not old fashion or outdated at all; it's more of a personal choice . Plenty of men, I am one of them, will be glad to hear that you can actually hold on to a goal this long . It takes a lot of discipline and will .
And finally, if you feel a bit worried/insecure about your lack of experience . You can always watch and learn from the pros: the porn stars . It sounds kinda weird to learn from porn, but it is nonetheless practical . Just watch and take note of the positions, rhythm, and techniques . Those women in there know very well how to please men because after all, it is their profession . Last thing, it's good to let your partner know when you are having pleasure with "sounds," but it's a bad thing to be overly vocal like the women in porn . You will come out looking like a fake, and he'll know where you got your sources ;)

Ok well first off, I like the fact that you want to wait, you don't find that often in either a girl or a guy to be honest with you, inexperience is nothing to be ashamed of . Well for most guys they are impatient about having sex with there girl friend or a random hook up, but on the other hand you do have those guys who will wait till your ready, and those are the guys that will teach or let you explore with them what you like . I'm 22 years old and have had enough random hook ups in my life for 3 people, but the fact that your 24, virgin, and can see that your contimplating sex, but not actually having it, will turn most guys on and try to push you into it, but just do what you think is right .

In my opinion, if this is how you explained it to me if we were dating then I'd completely understand . There's nothing to be ashamed of or even embarrassed about . A mature guy would understand, a boy would want you for another notch on his bedpost . So I think you have the right Ideas if you communicate the way you do here to your partner . And if he takes the time to understand you, he'll probably be flattered to be in the moment with you when the time comes .
