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