Virgin appeal?

I'll openly admit my virginity. Simply put, I haven't been in a relationship to the point where I'd feel comfortable crossing that first bridge. It happens, its not something I bring up unless asked directly. So, twice now, in insanely different situations (different countries at that) I've had guys offer to err...give me some experience. Out of the blue. First time around was a random bar guy, whom I was trying to fend off, but the pursuit became a bit more intentional once the V-card came up. Second time, totally different, was a chap I had met before, but hadn't gotten to know prior to that weekend's events. So after some friendly chat about life, there were the standard relationship status questions, which I answered and brushed off; no big deal. Conversation changed, headed off to bed. Once I reached the pillow texts of realization {paraphrasing} "Wait, so you haven't ever..?" "ahh. no" "Well, if you want to come over, I can fix that for you." "NO" that one was really a hit to the head out of left field. the next 20 odd min were spent giving the reasoning to a "no" or ignoring said texts. Basically. why does the v-card seem to suddenly cause a need to pounce and have me? Is there some masculine appeal to getting the new girl?

  • i also have this kinda problem..once "the talk" comes up and I say I'm a virgin..its like everything after that goes in one ear and out the other, and all they are fascinated with is why I choose to be one, what's the farthest I've gone and a whole bunch of other things that are none of their business...all of them wanted to be the first, or give me a little exprience lol...i actually had someone tell me to just let them show me how fun it was and if I didn't like it them I could just go back to waiting for marriage lol..boys are so clueless..im currently single now because it seems like I can't find someone whose mature enough to settle down with me w/o trying to pressure or talk me into having sex..im proud to be a virgin and I'm fine with being single until I meet the right person whose is fine with no sex until marriage, even if it takes awhile...but yeah I think guys love the thought of being "the first"...

    • Argh, yes. To the every little detail thing. Why is that suddenly seem so necessary? The "well, lets see how pure are you" test? So, in theory, if I fibbed, said I wan't a virgin, and just didn't want to do them, would they go away because, clearly, I've tried all that and the reasoning of "its just because you haven't" falls though?

    • Lol I have no idea..even when I say "thats none of your business" or I simply ignore them they continue to ask the same questions just phrased differently...and I think even if you lied and said that you werent a virgin, and just didn't want them they would STILL try lol...i've even come to the point where I had to be rudely honest and say "listen its not EVER going to happen, stop being a perv and wasting your time, I'd rather die a virgin than lose it with you" I know that sounds mean lol....

    • But its only so many times I can be asked the same question by the same person before I snap lol...do you also have problems dating?

  • I think it's because guys want power and touching the untouched gives them that power. I am openly about my virginity too though no one believes me, lol. Guys are just weird like that. I know it's hard to find that special someone who loves you and you love back. Wait until you have that and sex will be so much more meaningful and special. Having sex just to have it is wrong in my opinion. Wait until you find the guy you love who loves you for you, not for your body or because you're a virgin or anything else. Keep doing what you're doing, but if you don't want to hurt their feelings give them good reasons.

  • im waiting till marrige and I also feel that more men chase after me because of that fact even though while dating they get angry when you don't give in. Its like they admire the fact that your waiting, but it angers them when your "thiers".

  • Maybe, seeing a virgin is becoming more rare. I feel the same in some aspects. I am also a virgin and a lot of the people I met were very surprised and even laughed about it. But you know, its OK to wait for that special someone. I admire what your doing. Don't lose it to anyone you don't care about, especially if your not ready. Hang in there, you'll meet that special someone and you'll know when the time is right. I am hoping for the same too. Its good to meet a fellow virgin soldier sometimes, lol

    • *high five* particuarly at 22 headin on 23 in college. I swear I'm going to run into a unicorn one of these days and we're going to have a great about being the last of a kind.

    • *high five* me too, 21 and in college, lol. so its almost your birthday. HAPPY early birthday! your pretty funny, ahhaha

    • Still a little bit off yet, just feels sooner because most of my friends are younger than me (22-21 this year). "Oh hai yay to you being 2-- !" "Woot! wait, you're birthday is this year yet? You'll be 21/22 right?" "...ah....no..." "oh........you're old" "believe me...i know" That happens quite a bit....but Thanks! it will be a super birthday. :)

  • yeah I think there is a masculine appeal, but even more a ego appeal. I find it stupid, me myself holding onto to my card until the right person (probably a stupid idea hoping it might have happened a little earlier in life). But that's sh*tty that guys are sh*tty, but firsthand I can tell you I know a bunch of guys including myself who are looking for a genuine relationship and pooping a girls cherry is not priority number one

    • I relate to the finding it stupid sometimes, and wishing it'd happened earlier. Particularly when friends/people are chattin about their sex experiences and I've got nothing to contribute, besides offhanded remarks. But I'm very glad there are non-jerks in the world. Keep it up on the guy end!

  • Conquering "untouched" territory

    Although a lot of guys on here say they don't like virgins because virgins are clingy and over emotional haha

    • Ha. yeah I've seen that around the forums and was kinda expecting someone to pipe in with that response. Though I wouldn't call myself either of those terms, quite the opposite really.

    • Me too.I'm not clingy,I dislike clingy people,I' more independent,and over emotional?No...but I never pour my heart out haha

  • Guys just like to be the first. They want to be the ones who steal your innocence from you.

  • Yes. A power thing. A notch on the gun thing. Also, since you are inexperienced and are expected to be overwhelmed, he won't have performance anxiety as he would if you knew your way around.

  • If you were to openly admit your virginity, you wouldn't be anonymous, haha. No worries.

    But, some guys like the virgin appeal, some don't. Some will like a girl with experience. It just depends...just like everything.

  • I am 31, I am virgin, looking for some special person.

  • if your a hott virgin, guys LOVE that

    • So you're basically saying that guys love hot girls? or is being a virgin a plus?

    • I'm taking that as in "love to tap that"...I don't know if I'd call myself 'hot', though I put a pic of myself on hotornot and averaged a 9....least my face is. :p I don't do the boob shots. That's too easy.

  • For me the appeal is only because I'm a virgin. I feel like that would be better and more meaningful.
