I’m 26 nearly 27. Honestly I’d be happy to be single and a virgin forever and adore solitude. What age does it become embarrassing to never have been in a relationship or be a virgin as a female?
Im 25 and I’m not awkward, I am proud because my future husband can have all of me. Plus I’m a Christian, I believe sex is a very beautiful thing that should only be done with the person you value very much. I don’t want my body to be seen by any other men except my husband because my body is so precious and a treasure, oh my!! My future husband must feel so happy that he can have all of me 😭😁
The world shouldn’t normalise and glorify sleeping around but instead the society should glorify sexual purity for one’s future spouse.
PS. I’m more attracted to guys who are still virgins, I’ll be proud to have all of them, the first one to see their body.. the guys I’ve dated before were also Christian, we both wanted sex after marriage. We viewed sex as a serious and a beautiful thing between married couples. That’s nice!
You sound like such an amazing woman. I have never been in a relationship or had a real girlfriend. I lost my virginity 8 years ago during a weekend hookup and I haven't even so much kissed a woman since. She didn't want to pursue anything romantically afterwards. I am not the type that likes to have empty sex. I much rather have a woman like you. Just out of curiosity, have you ever had a boyfriend or first love before?
Thank you. Yes. My ex boyfriend said he wanted to wait until marriage. And when a man wanted to remain virgin until marriage, I felt safe and secure, that could mean he can stand the trial of sexual temptation, less likely to cheat. And also I feel proud, happy to be his first woman that he sees a naked body with excitement and expression, it feels like my husband is all mine, including his first time, his first excitement… etc. isn’t it great and satisfying?
Beautiful
Being embarrassed about being a virgin is for school kids. And adults who never matured growing up. I’m 30 and still a virgin because I’m absolutely REFUSE to sleep with JUST anyone. I mean, y’all can sleep around but I don’t want to. I don’t need all those diseases people have no issue spreading around.
Agreed! Hello my friend
I really don't see the need for any embarrassment I actually think it's kind of cool that you are strong enough to do that you're way stronger than me that's for sure no I think it's a blessing I think that's cool I would never be embarrassed about that
You’re a sweet human
Well thank you very much and I think you're very cool and don't ever be embarrassed like I said you are a mentor you are somebody to look up to I wish I could have maybe done what you're doing sorry I had my fingers crossed there's no way and that's just because when two people become one it is the most beautiful feeling you will ever feel in your life but you don't have to lose your virginity to feel that either like I said I think you're very cool
So kind and thanks for the idea of what it may feel like too
If that is what you want, why would it be embarassing? It should only be embarassing if you're a virgin and making a fool of yourself trying to lose it, which definitely isn't the case here.
Agreed! Thanks sir

In a perfect world, you should never be embarrassed as to when you decided to lose your virginity, or not in your case. And as various forms of sexuality become more and more accepted, maybe you would identify with individuals who are asexual or aromantic, or both. And if you do feel awkward about saying you're a virgin, maybe you could just say you're asexual/aromantic. And at the end of the day, no one really needs to know your a virgin, it really isn't any of their business, unless you choose to share with them.
It shouldn't be embarrassing at all at any age. Other adults might have their own opinion though. I mean, I'm 24 and being a virgin at this age will be no different at any other age. I just think it means that it'll feel more special to me when I have my first relationship and stuff.
Have you ever had a boyfriend or first love?
@SouthernWhiteMan I've had crushes, but never had a partner.
shouldn't matter. Your not hurting anyone. Be happy with whatever you want to do in life. Stay away from those who make you feel bad for something you choose to do that isn't negatively effecting anyone else.
Preach! 🙂👍
I grew up in a small town, and everyone did (still does) know you has slept with who. It was a conservative area so there was shame in having sex before marriage. But reality was all my classmates had lost their virginity before graduation and you felt out of the girl talk if you were a senior and still a virgin. So pressure on both sides. I played a bit and dated, but didn't lose my virginity until summer after graduation so was maybe the only one left.
I was a virgin till 35. TBH I never discussed it with anyone. I suppose I was always embarrassed by a lack of intimacy experience, ever since teens. But that's just me
Good on you
It should never be awkward to say that at any age, no matter what your age is. Some people are immature and may make virgins feel awkward, but they should not. And honestly, there should not be a need to talk about if you are a virgin or not, or at least, not in usual conversation.
Generally never, holding your virginity brings a lot of value to the dating market place.
But living in solitude is kinda a sign for a damaged human.
We are not designed to live like that and you will highly likely regret it.
What do you mean a damaged human? I can’t help it really crave solitude
Or maybe an introvert? What kind of defect
haven't you seen the advertised v' is not a bad word. no shame. you have doubts because you don't feel awkward which is natural.
in some cultures SINGLE gets shamed and from age 21 the pressure at every event.
Only if you are overweight and/or ugly. Then it becomes the matter of not being wanted.
If you look decent or good, then after 35.
Agree that it’s not depressing if it’s a choice to be a virgin
Awkward? Definitely your 30s. People are pretty much adults after 25. Just because you choose to abstain doesn't mean it's not awkward. Doesn't matter if it's personal preference or religion, it's weird to never have had sex late in adulthood. Anyone that says otherwise is either weird, ignorant or just being nice.
There are people that don’t want it for various justifiable reasons not everyone is the same
Why would u disclose that to anybody. This is very private info and no one would or should ask u about it. So it doesn't matter if u r or not
Agreed
You shouldn't be embarrassed at all if that's what you want. I wouldn't go announcing it to everyone I meet however, because you may get some confused/judgmental reactions that won't make you feel good about yourself.
I don't understand why saving sex for someone special would be embarrassing?
You are so non judgmental and wise thank you
Maybe because after a while it doesn't look like you're "saving sex for someone special" so much as "unfit for intimacy".
Humans typical breeding ages are teens and 20s, up into 30s but even that is a bit late. There comes a point where your sexual prime is over, and if you didn't have any sex during that time, it's a bit of a fail.
@zeitgeist057 I’m 26 so don’t know if my prime over yet
@asker, it's also totally okay to be a virgin/celibate your whole life. It's more about the "breeders" who are running strong with hormones and horny during those years, the peak fertility years. Wanting to be single and enjoying your solitude as you say, then coupling up doesn't really have a place for you, unless you have a drive for it or to have it as a source of physical pleasure. I have a former lover who is kind of like you in that she says she likes to be alone, but she also is a very sexually charged person (at least when we are together). I thought it a shame that she's not having sex, but she seems okay with just pleasuring herself and reading erotica.
@zeitgeist057 that sounds just like me! I’m 26 probably in my prime but then I’m happy with solitude and being a virgin and alone. I could get sex if I wanted so I don’t really know what to do. Sex carries risks too
Yeah true, there's pregnancy and STIs. It sounds like you don't really care to have sex, but then also since you haven't had it, you don't really know what you're missing. But even that is a spectrum, because there is terrible sex and amazing sex and everywhere in between. So you could go lose your virginity to find out, and have it be terrible then swear off sex forever and maybe even be pissed you tried it. Or have amazing sex and then you've got a new problem that you actually want more. So I don't know, lol. Maybe you're best to just keep your status quo. I don't really know anything about you and what your life is like or what you want out of life, to make any calls or recommendations like that for you.
@zeitgeist057 my status quo haha! I don’t know i guess it’s to go with flow and to be able to differentiate those that just want sex and those that want more. I’d never just have a sexual relationship
funny you put it like that, because I prefer "more", but I have no problem with sex as a starting point, and for a while in my teens and 20s sex was just an easy way for me to try to get to know a woman better. I felt like if we had sex right off, then we broke down a lot of barriers quickly and could be more intimate. So I never shied away from the potential "one night stands", and while there were plenty that didn't go anywhere, I also had a lot of really amazing deep connections that started from acting on a initial physical attraction.
@zeitgeist057 great insight thanks
anytime. Honestly, if you're happy as you are, I don't know that you want to mess with it. I love romantic relationships, but there has also been a lot of heartache and stress along the way. For me, I don't mind because I think stress helps us grow so I embrace all of it, the joy and pain. But I can also see for some people just keeping it simple works. Best of luck to you ! :)
@zeitgeist057 thank you and you!
If you claim to enjoy solitude and being a virgin, you wouldn't care what other people thought.
So true thank you
Pass the age of 25 I would say is kinda awkward and embarrassing to still be a virgin.
I'm not saying being a virgin is inherently bad but once you are pass a certain age being a virgin loses its appeal unless you are a religious monk or in your case you purposely desire to be single for the rest of your life.
You mean 26 onwards or 25 onwards
Pass the age of 25. The reality is it will be weird to be a virgin at the age or viewed that way by most people unless like I mentioned a deeply religious person or a person that doesn't desire to date because it will tell others that person desires to date and have sex but they have repelled every single person or that no one desires them so that's why I said it will be awkward and embarrassing.
I'm 28 in 2 days and I'm still a virgin, and to be honest with you, I've never had my first girlfriend, my first date or even my first kiss, so I know exactly where your coming from.
Be proud of it
if it was from lack of trying i’d think it was awkward past like 25 but if it’s ur choice then i don’t think it’s awkward at any age
Definitely my choice
You’re getting to it. But ironically you shouldn’t be focusing on it. Just date people and soon you’ll be spending romantic time with only one person which will lead to sex. No need to even tell him you’re a V if you don’t want to. Or at least not at first. Shouldn’t care. But the guys that do are pervy.
No age. It's beautiful thing if you have never been married.
Be proud as you are a rare to find now day. If this is your choice, keep yourself to the man that deserves you and willing to stay with you all his life.
I'm 20 and a virgin. I have been in relationships but never got to sex. I know I'm young and still got time, but I'm quite open about being a virgin. It's not embarrassing in any way to me.
Don't worry about it. It's how you feel about yourself that's important, not other people.
I am 30 and not ashamed because i know I want true love first.
It’s only awkward if you make it awkward. There’s no shame in being a virgin.
Nothing to be embarrassed about. There are a lot of famous historical figures of both genders who may have died virgins.
40 is the magic age w as for me, because if the movie and ya figure your life anout over as well as mid life crisis.
Im 38 and never touched a naked boob or even a covered pussy.
Depends on how the culture perceives it. There are muslims that would crawl through broken glass for you.
Don't forget about the red pill aka manosphere
It's a matter of opinion. I'm in my 40's and it's not awkward for me. If it is for someone else that's thier problem.
Maybe only when i go to gyno and say keep my hymen intact:)
30 for sure because it means you wasted your best years and men know there is definitely something wrong with you.
Why is this bothering you?
There shouldn't be an age really
It doesn't. Nor does it as a male.
RIP your inbox.
😂 haha
Not embarrassing. You're a unicorn :)
There is no age so don’t worry so much about it
Have you ever had a boyfriend or first love?

Awkward, more like a rarity.
