What are some reasons for grown men / women to be virgins?

Well, when I was 11, I took a pledge to wait until marriage and save my body for my wife. So that was and still is the main reason.

When I was 13, I wanted to start dating. I knew what sex was but wasn't interested in having sex. I just wanted to go on dates and/or have a girlfriend.

I got rejected 3 times between the ages of 13 and 15. Therefore, the girlfriend plan didn't work out. I stopped trying after that.

I fell in love and ALMOST asked a girl out when I was 21. But I was weird about it because I was still afraid of getting rejected so I never ACTUALLY asked her out. ... So that went nowhere, obviously.

I tried pretty much all of the online dating sites. Never had any luck, though. Either I wasn't interested in them or they weren't interested in me. Except that one girl when I was 25. We both liked each other, but she wanted to have sex with me, so I had to turn her down.

There have been several occasions where there have been crushes. But nothing ever comes of that. Because they're usually friends, and I don't want to say anything that would potentially make things awkward and destroy the friendship (and/or the "vibe" of our friend group.)

So yeah- that's why I'm still single.

I'm sorry to hear about your experiences in dating. I personally would want to date you if you didn't have that rule. As a listener here, I can respect it :)

[Jamie05rhs]

Thank you, @anon1903. You're very kind. I really appreciate that! 🙂

As a friend with many devout Christians, they would definitely be holding because of Jesus.

i myself am an atheist that married a muslim. she was a virgin until we married and she was 31.

considering in some cities near me i see kids, literally kids, pushing their own babies in strollers, waiting until the 30s is definitely not a bad trait.

There was a woman who went to the church i used to go to with my friends. she was in her mid 30s, she knew her time for starting a family was nearing an end, and yet she still held out for a Christian husband, its quite commendable really.

I haven't found a boyfriend yet. I don't do hookups, I want to do it with a boyfriend that I love. My life isn't very social sadly. I don't get to meet people so I haven't found anyone at age 22. I'm not the one to wait for marriage but I definitely want a relationship first.

[DizzyDesii]

If they’re waiting for marriage or the right one, i respect it. If they’re desperately trying to get laid but just can't, thats kinda sad

[SnakeBoop]

any, all, none. virginity doesn't equal them being losers

[anon1903]

I just added that as an option to eliminate it as an opinion 🤷

[Madhatter920]

I chose F. The answer could be any one of those or a mixture of multiple of those.

[Aurora1010]

Option E, how is being a virgin a jerk or a loser?

[oliver4love]

Society, family backgrounds and religion...

[NathanDavis]

in my own experience, I was mostly... wary of bloody cooties... and then it just happened anyway, under the right circumstances, of course

[anon1903]

Cooties that's a new one lol

[NathanDavis]

STD's... lmao

[anon1903]

I do have cooties. Tmi here but I find it funny that a man would be concerned.

[NathanDavis]

diseases are to be concerned about... lol of course there's some that are way more concerning about others...

[anon1903]

True...

[Gwenhwyfar]

I guess all of those but hopefully not C or D very often. Or they might just prefer oral and be scared of pregnancy or STDs.

[mattissebfan5]

Well I was 21 when lost my virginity to an escort my reason my mental illness

[anon1903]

[mattissebfan5]

Yeah that's fine I'm not ashamed by losing it to an escort and my mental illness well that's just something that can be good days or bad

[anon1903]

That's cool

[BobbyC65]

Waiting for marriage. 💞

[convo_king89]

I can’t say jerks, cuz women love bad boys.

[convo_king89]

And if wait for marriage then they are loners, losers, and waiting for the right one

[moviedude714]

Obviously it's different for men than for women

[Twalli]

All of the above

[SamFromFL]

They are unattractive

[Tstrbrainer]

Lack of options, choice, standards,
