I read a storey on here about a an older virgin and all the nasty and some helpful comments that some people gave. I thought I would tell my story.
First of all there is nothing wrong with me physically so I'm sick of the comment "why is she single she's a pretty girl" ahhhh hello yes I am pretty and nice and normal but I feel like I have not lived life! I didn't enjoy my 20's by having different sexual partners, I have been afraid to get close to anyone and I know it's not normal, I get that.
Recently I thought well I should do some online dateing maybe find someone special (I've really never had a real boyfriend) Well so far it's not going well, dateing over 30 you sure don't get the response you did in the 20's, I missed that opportunity though. Well anyway I approached this guys 34 completley gorgeaus and he is a total player even though his profile says he's looking for a longterm girlfriend.
Anyway he basically wants to skip coffee and go straight to the bedroom aubviously not my style but I can't help but be totally excited by the prospect of just haveing one night with this great looking guy, no strings I can just get things over with in a sense. However there is the part of me that knows it isn't safe to engage in this behaviour but then part of me says no risk no gain in life! Maybe I should just go. There is noone I can talk to about this because I would never tell anyone what I'm considering, so I would appreciate some real advice.
I know some will say waite for love! Well easy for you to say, love is not so easy to find for everyone. Well tell me what you think and the nasty comments will not be listened too, but go ahead if you must. The other older virgin says he/she wants to kill themselves god nothing is worth that, I think that you should see a councelor and talk things through, because life does have so many other beautiful things!
Thanks
i might have written my own story but
i have been thinking that im not living life and such aswell im 25 im afraid of thinking along the lines of your older friend :(
i dont think il ever suicide though im a christian and i believe that's the worst thing you can possibly do..
i really dont think you should loose your virginity to any kind of player, youre never to old to find someone special ;D
stay strong n godbless
To the original author of this post, I say enjoy life. Do all the things you have always wanted to do. Time is precious. Don't waste it thinking just about relationships. Sex is nice but one can live without it. If you think I may be saying this because I don't have a sex drive then I can tell you that I masturbate everyday and I can get an erection in a moment, but still I have decided to abstain from sex all my life. I will be nice to have sex but I am not going to fret over it all my life. So enjoy what you have and make the most of your life and time!
Well if you are all curious to see if I went through with it with the player guy, well I didn't (yet) well I thought about it a lot and realized that I'm too emotional of a person to just go home afterwards and have no feelings about it. I think two consenting adults can come to an agreement for something casual but what if I really reget it. The funny thing is I said I would go over then I said no I can't, then he said well I'm not looking for anything casual, let's meet as friends! ahhh this guy drives me crazy! Well we haven't met yet, not sure that I will but maybe for me to just get on with my life I should just do it! For once I wish I could just be wreckless without thinking things through so much!
The safe decisions may make for a life unlived that is what I worry about.
Also happily single why (no judgment) have you decided to abstain from sex for the rest of your life? Your beliefs?
I expect I will die this way. If you are attractive there is nothing stopping you though. So have at it, if you want it.
You might have an avoidant personality disorder.
Don't get me wrong I believe life is a spiritual journey and I have actually been on a path of self discovery for the past couple years with a psychologist, however I haven't told her about my recent feelings yet. Anyway we all have issues, I think you might be surprised that there really probably is no such thing as normal.
I have shame issues that stem from narcisitic parents and over the years developed some OCD issues, self esteem problems and social anxiety ect.... I now choose not to be a victim of my past but an instigator for my future! I am now %100 responsible for the future I create for myself and so are you! I'm still going to struggle but I'm takeing small steps.
We need to be humble and reach out for help when we need it, people are there just reach out seriously if you take one step toward change things will come your way, if you believe in God, the Universe whatever. He will meet you halfway, you just need to take that first step! I'm learning this in my own life, it's not too late to start liveing I think, the key is don't wait if you an idea a passion a dream, get on the phone do it now!
I don't think you have to die without haveing sex, you are young! For me fear always holds me back (which I'm working on) but for you what is it? Not everyone is beautiful you know I think you can find a lover no matter what you look like, I would say get out there take a risk join a club, a gym a hikeing group just to get out with people we need to get out of our heads, join life issues and all! Fat or skinny, beautiful or not! We all belong here, we all have worth we just need to keep telling ourselves that ok.
Take care and I really hope you reach out!
However I'm keeping my open for a guy, takeing a break from the online world I think. Thanks you all for your comments, I suppose I'm staying the way I am for now :) but I'm not going to die a Virgin (hopefully)!
I now think it's too late to start, so although i'd love a partner I can't see it ever happening.
I'm so afraid that I just don't know what to do in dating situations, or getting close but it must be somewhat primal right. Don't kid yourself, we all have issues! Some are just better at hiding them. What I've been learning is that if we don't risk, nothing can change.
I'm working on it, but going to a guys house I don't know might have been a little too big of step in the risky direction LOL.
30 is young! Ok, I would suggest you start with finding a psychologist that you like, try to work out some of your issues, but that can take a long time so you still have to make the steps to get out with people.
You will be surprised how many good people are out there. Join a hiking club! or take a class. A lot of people are lonley just muster up a little courage to go, I think you can do it! I joined a hiking club, I took some classes, I joined an excercise class. I may not meet a man at any of these things but maybe some friends!
Take care, and have compassion for yourself! That's a good place to start.
I think you need some friends. You didn't mention any girly friends in here and i've always thought that close friends can help you with anything.
Also, you sound defeated. You're so young still and it sounds like you've given up already. There must be thousands of men out there that are scared of getting close to women but sometimes you just need to throw yourself into a situation, even if it does end in heartbreak, that's another experience you will need to go through.
And I wonder if you should make male friends & then see how it goes & how you feel from there i.e. special to someone.
I don't think it is all that difficult for most to just get sex, if thats all you want. But you're hesitant.
Hope for the best in the future!
have fun with yourself and have all the sex you can just use protection and do whatever makes you happy at that exact moment do not think so much it'll get you nowhere
I did what I set out to do, I found someone for a casual sexual relationship. He was kind, and very good in bed and I am really happy to have found him. I realized sex is not so difficult lol. It pretty much comes naturally and the details can be read in books and communicated with your partner.
I don't regret what I did, no we were not in love but there was a mutual respect. I realize I got lucky there because it could have been a really bad scenario if the respect wasn't there. I made the right decision for me,not for everyone, most people just lose their virginity the good old fashioned way, as an awkward teenager. Well my journey is a little different.
Here is the disclaimer, all that being said I really was not prepared for the emotions that go with sex. I thought well if we don't get to know eachother and keep it casual I can't develop feelings for him. Well the sexual relationship lasted 2 weeks and when he ended it, truly my heart was broken. It's been very hard for me to let him go, I haven't turned into a stalker or anything but the feelings are so strong I can see why people do.
I guess in the back of my head I started to like him and hoped for more, but he just isn't that into me as they say. My thought is although women have come a long way to equality in our society, we are just not built to have casual sex. Our emotions and hormones just may not allow it I guess. It's really to bad I don't think it's fair that men can seperate the two so easily.
Well I will never enter into something so casual again, and hope the next man I find is someone I can have the whole package with because I deserve that. Thanks everyone for all your comments! Honestly it was really helpful!
and make pretty decent money. I unfortunately met someone online she lives three thousand miles away. I am here in west coast and she lives east we had relationship for two years
