Do you ever feel like your virginity is a burden?

I'm 23 and I've never had sex and lately I'm beginning to feel like it's just a burden... My virginity is important to me..i mean it's not like I'm waiting till marriage just until the right person comes along..but lately I've been feeling like it's just a burden.. Have any of you felt that way? Also I'm dating a 28 year old guy..do you think he will be fine with waiting until I'm ready to have sex?

  • I believe that "virginity" is just an abstract concept, and is nothing more than what you make it to be.

    You see it as valuable? Then it is valuable.

    You see it as insignificant? Then it is insignificant.

    You see it as a burden? Then it is a burden.

    Anyways, for a boyfriend to have no problem with waiting, he should probably fit these two conditions:

    - The guy must be into you for more than sex. (Otherwise he will simply move on.)

    - The guy must respect you and your decisions. (Otherwise he will keep insisting for sex.)

    We don't really know your boyfriend. We never met him. You did. So you should analyze him, with regards to these two criteria. Do YOU think he would be fine with waiting?

  • It's yours! do with it what you will. You'll either be happy you waited or you'll wonder why you waited once it's gone. Waiting for Mr Right is common enough behavior I suppose so feel good about it.

    If this guy loves and RESPECTS you, yes he will be fine with it..if he doesn't/ isn't ..he's not Mr Right. There ARE other forms of petting that will suffice until you're ready to lose your virginity

  • I'm 23 almost 24 and I don't see my virginity as a burden, but it makes me sad...I'm told I'm a beautiful girl by many men, yet they know I won't have sex till I've built a relationship. I'm not waotong till marriage but just till Ik a man really cares about me for me. It's never happen so far and it scares me, makes me sad because I'm scared its never ganna happen for me.:(

  • when I was a virgin I was damn proud. when I lost is 6 months ago at 20 I was damn proud.either way I was happy. I don't think one is better than the other. I'm sorry you feel its a burden. just don't give it to anyone. pick a respectable guy not some whore to give it to :)

  • Dont feel that way, because you have a talent that most girls wish they still had, so don't wish away your purity just yet, because the lucky guy you choose will see this as a massive compliment to him when you decide to go all in,x

  • If he's 28 and has had multiple sexual relationships in the past, he'll wait ... to a point ... maybe. I mean a lot of guys that age would only wait a couple dates.

    It also depends what he's waiting for ... anything, or actual intercourse? There's a HUGE difference.

  • 43 and no sex = burden... 23 and no sex = normal/ no big deal. Has sex come up with the guy you are dating? If so, just let him know you are not ready, if it is what he wants he will look elsewhere. If sex has not come up, just keep being an awesome woman.

    Also, no weight will be taken off your shoulders after you have sex.

  • If he loves you enough, he'll wait.

  • I am waiting until marriage, so no, I don't feel like it's a burden.

  • its your choice ... it shouldn't be a burden I love being a virgin ^_^

    and when you meet the right person ... imagine how you will feel

    not so much of a burden ^_^

  • Yes I understand..I was thrilled to shed my virginity and would never want it back and have always avoided virgins...I have no idea what goes on in your bf's head...males are all different...(:(:(:

  • I'm one too. And I don't really care -- mostly because I'm paranoid of getting somebody pregnant, even if she's on BC and I'm using a condom.

    A lot of guys don't like to date virgins from what I understand because once they have sex with them, they get super clingy.

  • I felt like that when I got 16, indeed.

    I dealed with it the wrong way, with a 8yr older girl I had no feelings for and who had no feelings for me.

  • i'm 24 and still a virgin, sometimes, because there is way more pressure on guys

  • i'm 21, almost 22 and still a virgin, to be honest, yes, because there is way more pressure on guys to lose their virginity than it is for girls, I feel losing my virginity would be a huge confidence booster

  • I LOVE my virginity. The number of things to be concerned about is lower as a virgin.

  • nope, I'm more interested in finding an interesting person rather than questioning whether I should give up my virginity or not
