5 Reasons Why I Don't Feel The Need To Lose My Virginity Anytime Soon

1) It Doesn't Make Me Any More Or Less Of An Adult

5 Reasons Why I Don't Feel The Need To Lose My Virginity Anytime Soon

I hear it all the time from other teenage girls:

"Oh my God, you haven't done it? You're such a baby!"

"Guys will think you aren't mature enough for them."

"If you haven't had sex then you don't know what a real relationship is like."

But how does having sex make you more mature? Does it change your opinions on politics? Or knowledge of world issues? Or make you more a responsible person?

Probably no.


2) It Won't Make A Guy Want To Be With Me More

5 Reasons Why I Don't Feel The Need To Lose My Virginity Anytime Soon

I've heard this one more than once.

"If you don't give him what he wants, he's going to leave you."

Well honestly, if he leaves me because I didn't sleep with him then he didn't really like me that much anyway.


3) It Won't Make Me Feel Any Better About Myself

5 Reasons Why I Don't Feel The Need To Lose My Virginity Anytime Soon

I truly believe that I don't need to have sex to know that it won't make me happier. It won't be a magical moment that changes my life and fixes all my insecurities. It won't assure me that I'm pretty and guys find me attractive and it won't assure me that someone cares about me either.

Because someone wanting to have sex with you doesn't mean you're perfect or cared for and I know that.

4) I Feel Really Confident Saying "No. Nobody's Had Me Yet."

It gives me a sort of rush of empowerment when people ask me. It's cool telling people that I've never been pressured into doing it and no guy has ever weakened me enough to have me give in. It makes me feel strong.


5) It's An Example To Other Young Girls

I like that other girls can look at me and think "Hey, she's confident, accomplished, and happy. And hasn't needed to give in to sex in order to be that way."

Now at some point it will happen, it could be two years from now or two weeks from now, but until then I am so content with myself.

  • I srsly think this is pretty good! Boys your age... srsly they will barely last 2-3 minutes in bed, and can probably only barely do foreplay. They can be really cute, but if they have no skillz I don't think you'd orgasm from anything including foreplay, so it's just as well you feel this way.

    I mean hell older guys barely last 5 maybe 10 minutes max usually. And for me that works because over 10 minutes can make me feel sore so... even 5 minutes is OK. I don't mind, but this is why I have to cum after sex by him doing oral or fingering or even grinding.

    • And no sex doesn't give you a real relationship LOL pls don't listen to people like that. If you really click with someone then you really click. sex is just a bonus but it doesn't make the relationship. look how many people cheat...

    • for a virgin though wouldn't it be BEST if it didn't last long.. you know less time less pain :) tough the no good at foreplay thing, that ruins it. but that can be taught.

    • @AriadneSky honestly... yeah! I think that would be good. But I meant in a relationship, like having sex over and over.

  • Thank you for writing this 😊

    We do not really need to, in my opinion. Is losing it a prerequisite to adulthood? I do not think so.

  • You're young. The fact that you still have this mindset where sex is all give from the woman and all take for the man, just means it's probably for the best that you don't do it for now.

    I don't enjoy sex because it boosts my confidence, or makes a guy want to be with me, or makes me an adult (paying bills does that just fine, sadly). I enjoy sex for what it is; physical pleasure and intimate connection with another person. You should never ever feel like it's one sided, and if you do, you're either not ready or you're not with the right guy.

    When you are ready, just know you aren't "losing" anything. You don't wake up in the morning and forget where you put it. The guy doesn't put it in his pocket and refuse to give it back. You are actually gaining a life experience. That doesn't mean you should do it before you're ready, but don't ever let anyone make you think a man can "take" your virtue away, because that's hogwash.

  • I will not lose my virginity anytime soon also I'm terrified of getting std/sti aids hiv and other diseases from sex guys can lie and say they did not slee with someone else and they could have caught it from their other partner or mother to child one

  • Though most of your points are false I agree that you shouldn't be pressured into doing anything. However, if you withhold sex to see if he is interested in you? Do you know what in your brain drives you to date? The urge to reproduce. How do mammals reproduce? Oh right sex and live birth! What are people again? Yeah... we are mammals. If you deny a man sex that's fine. However, don't claim to want to be with him for the long haul then deny him that physical connection for months. That's not fair and yeah, he's likely going to cheat on you. Making sure a guy will remain faithful is one thing. Intentionally avoiding taking the relationship to a more intimate level makes me thing you're merely wearing a mask of confidence and in reality you have low self esteem. You're a human being. You should WANT to have sex with your partner. That's what nature is! It should be a natural and primal urge that you feel. You should want to sleep with your partner to have a deeper underlying connection. I could go into the psychology of it all with reduced levels of cortisol and increased production or testosterone/estrogen the heavy releases of adrenaline and dopamine as well as the spike in production of serotonin but I'm just gonna receive hate for this anyways so I won't bother. Regardless, you do you boo boo. I won't judge you if you don't judge me.

    Good luck!

    • The bullshit you just poured onto my take is essentially implying that reproduction is more important than unconditional love. And that is all I need to take from this to know you are a complete and utter imbecile. Good luck with that!

    • I was merely pointing out that the reason people date is for the primal urge to reproduce. Love and emotions were developed through evolution to give incentive to stay because the likelihood of reproduction is higher if you have one partner versus 16 partners. Love is a thing we developed in order to reproduce and survive as a species. I was merely pointing out that the reason we date and find partners is to fulfill the primary urge of what we are. Products of evolution. But go ahead and throw your temper tantrum because someone doesn't agree with you. See how much respect you get with that attitude.

    • Do you hear what you just said? "the likelihood of reproduction is higher if you have one partner versus 16 partners" How on Earth does that even remotely make sense? No, the reason people date is love. The reason people fuck is reproduction. Grab a Bible and sit down sweetie.

  • I love this! I recently decided that I wanted to wait to have sex until I'm with someone who I know truly cares about me. Maybe even until marriage, I'm undecided. I also love that you didn't put down girls who have had sex, you only said why YOU don't feel the need to.

  • yea im not doing it soon. first i have to meet a guy date him truss him then there testing for sase so id say its a long time off.

  • As a virgin, I truly dislike the way you made your own virginity seem superior to non-virginity. When you can appreciate your own experiences without putting others down, THEN ill respect this.

    However, your take implies that people who have had sex aren't as confident, happy or accomplished, which does not sit well with me. Sure, not all non-virgins respect our choice either, but in the end, that's all it is. A choice, and it should be respected, no matter what.

    • Where did I say there was anything wrong with not being a virgin?

    • Key word: IMPLIES.

    • But where does it imply negativity towards girls who have sex? Isn't it all just positivity towards abstinence?

  • I agree, good job. Don't let people pressure you

  • Why do people keep promoting virginity? It's not "better".
    If you want to be a virgin, fine, be one. What makes you think you are a good example? You are no better than girls who are not virgins. Get over yourself.
    If you are not promoting it, then why the hell did you write this?

    By the way. Sex is great. You will never know how much until you tried it. So you can go on believing that it won't make you feel better, but you'll never really know until you tried.

  • Very good..
    Wait until you feel ready

  • You're smart!

  • Very cool and mature take - Well done.

  • Yes I love this. I lost my virginity at 17. Yes keep that virginity on lock, because all of these are accurate. I totally wish I had waited till the right guy came around. When I lost it it wasn't special and the guy wasn't special to me. It was just a right now kind of situation. Sex can totally wait.

    • It's more special and feels better when your with someone you love. Always stay true to yourself. Some may disagree and not see your perception. However I dig it completely.

  • 1> true
    2> false, and I counter with
    "Well honestly, if she didn't sleep with him then she didn't really like him that much anyway."

    3> this truly depends on your personal value system. Some people do feel better about themselves because they can connect with others physically.

    4> this just means you have an extremely detrimental view of sexual intimacy. There is nothing strong or weak about choosing to have sex. This however also means that you'll never be able to establish a truly mutual bond with any guy, because you inherently distrust them and think you're "being weakened to give in to the pressure of being demanded of having sex"

    Healthy individuals WANT to have sex with their partner. That's part of the reason why they're even dating. If you have no intention of doing so, or more-so even feel glad that you're avoiding to connect physically with them, and feel like you're somehow a "better person for rejecting your partner"; then there's no point for you to lie to a guy by claiming you care, because you don't, and you are not ready for a relationship, and you probably shouldn't want to be in one in the first place.

    This is just narcissism to the extremes; believing that rejecting your own romantic partner somehow makes you a better person. It does not.

    5.) This is a horrible example to "other young girls". It just shows that you hate men for being male, and you hate the idea of sexual intimacy, and you hate the idea of connecting physically with anyone; because you think it somehow makes you "weaker" and that in order to have sex you have to be "pressured into giving in". Like, what the f*** is that?

    The REAL example should be that you should want to feel devoted to your partner and you should want to connect with them. And a part of connecting with them is being intimate with them, and a part of being intimate with them is having sex with them.

    Treating the ability to connect with your partner as if people were trying to shove cigarettes and alcohol down your throat.

    What a joke. I'm repulsed. I'm legitimately repulsed.

    • I agree with your being weakened point. I didn't like that either. BUT lots of guys do say stuff like that, that he made her submit and everything.

    • @SovereignessofVamps The "if he really cared about me then he would be willing to endure the fact I reject him physically continuously so if he doesn't accept that I'm stringing him along then clearly he was with me ONLY for the sex" view always pisses me off whenever I see it, because it's inherently incorrect, and extremely misandristic.

    • But wanting a connection isn't stringing him along. he could break it off if he was so unhappy himself.

  • good for you. never do anything you dont want to do. Another thing you can say is the right person hasn't shown them selves yet. so untill they do im going to be who i am.

  • good take

  • I've never heard any teenage girl say stuff under point one and I'm glad I haven't. Why the hell do other people care about your sex life? Do we seriously have nothing better to talk about lol

    • IKR people can be a trip.

  • good for you! especially that you don't care what others say. If you don't want to have sex yet is okay

  • I am a virgin, and I approve of this myTake.
