Is it normal to be a 21 year old male virgin?

In the past I had a few chances to have sex but didn't. To make things worse, over the past year I've been busy and have rarely gone out. I live in NYC so will probably end up meeting someone out at a bar or club and hooking up randomly. Should I tell them I'm a virgin or would that just make things weird for them?

    Yeah you're normal. I'm a 22 year old female and I'm a virgin. It's out of choice. I prefer to wait for the right person. If people think that's stupid then that's their own issue. I do what's right for me.

    Maybe you just haven't found anyone that suits you as yet. Everyone one of us is different when it comes to these things.

    A 21 year old virgin is so hot to older women. They look at you as unspoiled, untouched and low risk. If I were you I would tell every hot 30 year old woman I met that I was a virgin. Man, the things those older women can teach you in bed. When you learn how to please older women who have seen it all, you will be a god in bed to the women your own age.

    I lied to my girlfriend, never did any harm to me :)

    But seriously, you cannot be 'good' at sex to the extent you may imagine, staying power is the more important thing, and getting used to your partners movements. Do it and get this whole 'virgin' crap out of your brian, it can only do harm. Watch porn, look how they do it. It really is that easy.
    If u get to sex, rotate positions or switch between sex and giving her something if it means you last longer. Maybe its to stop yourself finishing, but hell, she aint gonna complain if shes being attended to so well!

    conclusion: Lose the 'virgin' mentality, its doing you no good. If you meet someone in a club for a 1 night thing, who gives a crap if your 'rubbish'. You will learn A HELL OF A LOT.

    Peace, and good luck

    Hah, I think it's sweet. And women apparently like virgins better, so yay for you. I don't advise hooking up at a bar or using a hooker though, wouldn't want your first time to be your last cause of some dick-deforming disease or something xDD

    i find male virgins extremely appealing. I'm female btw. Don't worry about it. Most girls, like me, prefer our guys to be virgins.

    Its no ones business whether you're a virgin or not. That's your private sexual history. People don't deserve to know your life.
    As far as hooking up with some girl at a bar, that would be a major mistake.
    If your introduction into your sexual life is full of cheap one night stands and with women you barely know, you're going to lose the deep meaning behind a true sexual relationship with someone you love and become just another statistic of a man out there who just uses stupid women for mere sexual gratification.
    Be proud of yourself that you held out this long.
    And whether you're ugly or not has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
    MANY UGLY PEOPLE ARE THE FIRST TO GET LAID TO PROVE TO EVERYONE HOW SEXY THEY ARE.
    PEOPLE CAN GET SEX VERY EASILY IF THEY TRY HARD ENOUGH AND SOMETIMES WHEN THEY DON'T TRY.

    PLEASE think about your future, your life, contacting a possible disease from someone you care nothing about,,,condoms can break and fail, and how yeares from now or even around the bend, when you meet a special woman, you'll only feel regret that you played with trash.
    Also think about having some morals and not being a crowd follower.
    A real man is one who doesn't have to do what everyone else is doing to fit in.

    so what if youre a virgin! think of the plus sides, you dont get an STD, you dont get all of the issues with a relationship after having sex. Plus, you should lose it with someone you care about.

    Many people are virgins at your age, unfortunatley not enough. There is very little moral fiber left in the world. Be proud and good about yourself, unlike so many other men who end up being male sluts.

    DON'T HOOK UP! YOUR VIRGINITY IS LOVELY, IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE NOT ATTRACTIVE. Sometime or later someone you LOVE is going to come a long; don't know if this sounds silly or not... and then you can make love the way it should be made and it will be much better. I think so anyway.

    i Think its relatively normal but dont randomly tell the person u hook up with that your a virgin.

    Its normal, but unordinary. I think you should tell a girl that you are a virgin first, but you don't necessarily have to mention your age.

    With me it's when I want and get post nut clarity , that "ugh wtf did I just do what was I thinking" feeling after the good feeling after nutting puts me off going out of my way and physically bothering with girlies lol. It's like once u fuk her and cum u don't want fuck all to do with her, it's a shit feeling so no point wasting energy talking to girls n stuff when ur hand can make u get the same result as fucking with no need to talk to another human, just watch porn or download some hot pics

    Don't be peer pressured into doing anything you don't wanna do. What someone else might do if they were in your shoes is their problem. But they're not so they can suck their mothers through a straw. Everything in it's right time. Fuck, I might still be a virgin at 25, as long as I'm happy with that then there's no problem.

    Lol it's perfectly fine. I've had some bitter girls ask me outlandish stuff like am I might gay or do i have aids because I'm not interested in sex at the moment and according to them the way my outward appearance is set up then if I'm a virgin and I dont have "hoes" I'm gay or there's something wrong lol. Trust me you're not doing anything wrong.

      Dude, hire a prostitute. Have her suck your cock. Relax, enjoy, and finally squirt your jizz into her mouth. Tell her to swallow. Jesus approves.

    Dude, it's normal, don't listen to others who say that it isn't. What might work for them, might not work for you. Losing "it" isn't a contest, and its not about how fast you get rid of it either. Everyone has their own pace in life, so just because a majority are racing through, doesn't mean you have to. When it's time, its time. You are who you are, and anyone you decide to get intimate with, hook up or relationship, should respect you for who you are. So you're a virgin at 21? Phss...you're a baby dude, you're not late for anything. Plus, there are worse things to worry about in the world. Being a virgin, and having a little patience shouldn't be one of them.

    Don't listen to the dicks calling you a loser. I'm a 20 y/o virgin lol. I'm a girl though. Not saving myself for anything either, just haven't found anyone worth screwing yet. Maybe you're waiting for someone to make you feel special enough to want to do the horizontal belly dance.

    There's nothing wrong with being a virgin!!! It's best to wait until marriage anyway.

        @PurplePeopleEater, theres nothing wrong with being a virgin! Admittedly I'm not, but I think its sweet that hes still a virgin.

        Depends, If shes not a virgin she will probaly know you are, so its best with the truth but if she is... ask her first.

    it is normal, for sure..
    I was 22, everything "worked" perfect, and so many great nights followed ;) so forget about the stupid comments that you must train anything!
    Tell or not? depends on the mood and atmosphere that develops on that evening, don't think about that too much, be relaxed ;)

    Your normal. It doesn't matter how long you wait before you "do" it. Make sure you really know and like the person, otherwise it won't be as enjoyable.

    My first sex with a woman was a prostitute when I was 17. It was a good experience. She was very caring and gave me a BJ without a condom cause I was so young and fresh. I think its a good idea for young men to see one if they are really desperate to lose their virginity.

      You need to lose it now. Virginity for men is not a good look. If you leave it too long you will have too much catching up to do.
      Thats why I just dont get the whole christian thing of saving themselves for marriage. What happens if when you finally do it with this person you marry you hate it? Or what if the man is very small and the girl doesnt like it etc?
      I believe its way better to play the field and get it out of your system before marriage. Then you will have an idea of whats out there, you will know what you like and how to ask for it, you will know what other people like and how to give it. Instead of being some nervous fumbling fool that has no idea.

    dont tell them your a v, they will run for the hills, just wing it, if you are anxious about the 1st time do it with someone you dont really like or someone youll never see again, then theres less emotion involved. dont research on the net or use a blow up doll, go and experience it, throw yourself in at the deep end (no pun intended) you will hav self respect once youve done it and you will wonder what the hell you were worried about, let the good times roll :)

    dude admittedly its not normal for people to be a virgin by this age. but i expect you have your reasons. its not a big deal alot of girls actually find it sweet. don't feel embarrassed, im 16 and not a virgin. but man i regret who i lost it with.

    and also a few girls like to wait for marriage to lose their virginity. my friend nicola wants to do that. maybe you could find a girl who wants that. then it means your first time will be amazing and it would be true love with your partner. she would be understanding as well.

    you don't have to wait for a girl like that it could be with anyone. but don't just do it for the sake of losing it. do it when you feel ready. don't end up regretting your first time like me.

    and im going to presume that the reason you havnt managed to lose it yet may be cos your nerveous with girls you like and are scared nothing would happen. just be yourself around girls, feel relaxed and try and find common interest when you talk to them. make them laugh and stuff.

    if needed search sites or other sources on tips and tricks with girls to help you flirt and get what you want with a woman you like. i did and it actually benefitted me quite well. heres a site that could give you tips better than i can http://www.artofseductions.com/how-to-flirt-with-a-girl/

    and also may i recommend a book called "double your dating". it has everything you need to know about a woman and how to flirt and seduce. seriously sad as it may seem i8t helps on many levels.

    i hope all the best can come out of this for you man. and don't feel too bad about being a virgin at this age. its rare but its not like your a 40 year old virgin is it? your still young. just hope you can get somewhere soon and wish all the best man

    just watch lots of "softcore" porn and practice with a blowup doll. dont tell them. just hook up with them then if you end up staying with them tell them they were your first. just dont tell them you practiced with a blow up doll.
