I know everyone always says that you should wait until you are ready, and I guess that's true, but I'm 16 and still a virgin. I've made out and done a few other things, but never vaginal intercourse. All of my friends have already had sex and I feel like I'm really missing out, or I should have already had it. I am too old to still be a virgin?
Update: Well I had sex for the first time back in February with a guy I have been friends with for about four years. I didn't feel any pressure whatsoever, things were great and we've been dating ever since. All the advice made me feel a lot better though. Thanks

Wow! A 16-year-old asking if she's too old to be a virgin... That says something about today's society.
Then again, it's kind of hypocritical of me to say that. I'm around your age and I'm not a virgin, one thing I know is that I constantly question what would have happened if I waited. Id like to say I don't regret it, but sometimes I do. Regardless, it's like everything else in life and part of it makes you who you are in one way or another.
Not that you should base your life on celebrities' actions, but Adriana Lima told GQ magazine that she is a devoted Catholic and a virgin. Sex is for after marriage," she says. "They have to respect that this is my choice. If there's no respect, that means they don't want me."
And I'm pretty sure she's cooler than your friends. Don't let people pressure you into doing things you aren't comfortable with. As tammymac noted, a lot of people have responded - clearly not everybody thinks you're too old. Keep your head up and know that a lot of people think you're doing the right thing.
Definitely don't bow to pressure. You do it when you are really sure that you want to, but make sure the desire really comes from yourself and not your boyfriend. If he can't respect where you are, then lose him fast.
KEEP YOUR VIRGINITY! you are rare. I put it like this, After I lost mine under the same circumstances as you. When it was over I said "THIS COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER! THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SPECIAL! I FEEL CHEATED!" When you meet that someone special or your spouse, YOU DO IT ALL THE TIME!! You got the rest of your life!
You are never too old to be a virgin. Sex isn't the answer to anything other than continuing the population and we have plenty of people already. The longer you can hold out the more certain you will be that the relationship you do have eventually will not disappoint you. Be patient and don't worry about what your friends say or do.. Be You!
Believe me having sex is not a good thing I lost my virginity about two days now and I'm the same age as you are and let me tell you something I feel like crap even though my b.f says he's not going to leave me and that I'm a big part of his life and a lot of more things but now my self esteem feels low and although your question was already answered now I feel like I need help!
Hey I am glad to here that everything is going good! It is always nice when things start going your way! Hope everything stays awesome with you and this guy! Good Luck!
I hope you read the rest of the answers this girl got 14 or 15 or even younger may be the average age to lose your virginity but do you really want to be just average? Strive for something above average. - 5 months ago
I don't know what the world has come to when a 16 year old says that.! Of course it's completely fine for you to be a virgin at that age. Are you serious?! What kind of friends have you been hanging around. I think that you should do it when you are completely ready and comfortable with it, with someone that you love. Now if that is like in your 20s, 30s, 40s, after or before marriage it doesn't matter as long as you are mental and emotionally willing to do it. Until then, don't worry about it at all! I totally agree with what stanley said too. If some gorgeous model can have those high standards then you can too.
Coming from someone who knows wait till you are really in love or it won't be worth it. Guys want it because they want to be a "man" or are horny. Girls need more if you don't have a connection it won't be as good as it could be with someone you care about.
Your still way young are you serious? Girl wait as long as you can and trust me I am 20 and 8 months pregnant your not missing much.... wait until it is the right time for you and wait for the RIGHT person or you will always regret it. you have so much time do not listen to anyone else on this or what they think about losing it now because in the end it is your choice and in the end only you have to face you and live with it choose wisely...
