At what age does it become strange for someone to be a virgin?

I would agree with Floydzie where she says that not having sex by a certain age is more sad than weird.

I think that, in order to be a virgin at 40, it would say more about a person's interpersonal skills and interactions with the world around them than anything else.

If you live a "normal" life (as in, you leave the house on a regular basis and interact with people on a regular basis and you have personal goals such as a job, education, volunteering etc.) and you have at least the most basic social skills and your self esteem isn't TERRIBLE, then you will find that you will have the chance to form MANY interpersonal relationships: close relationships, shallow relationships, casual relationships, etc.

Assuming that you are not a complete jerk, you will inevitably find people that will appreciate your company no matter what your interests are. You will form those connections and one of them, if given the time and effort, would eventually lead to a sexual relationship. Sure, you probably won't find those relationships often or at every turn in the road of your life, but if you are living in such a manner as you are working on yourself and your goals, it is very likely to happen, even to the most unusual of personality types.

That is part of the reason why it is called "The Dating Game". In order for you to win it, you have to be in it, and by "it", I mean in social society in general.

At 19, no one could expect you to have the knowledge and skills to be able to form a meaningful enough of a relationship to have a sexual relationship and no one could expect you to be comfortable enough with yourself or your goals for that to be an inevitability for you. I would say that so long as you are interacting with people and doing something with your life, you are very likely to find someone. Look at my husband! All he did was work, he wasn't very social and he is, by many accounts, a very unusual person and often difficult to like by others due to his social mannerisms... but we are in a good marriage and have sex on a very regular basis.

So come the time you are in your late 30's and you have still yet to develop a relationship that has led to sex, you should worry and possibly change your lifestyle habits but until then, it's not weird or sad.

Aren't nuns like 100 year old virgins?

I don't think there's a certain age that'd become weird, but an age that'll become sad. I've read stories of people who were in their 30's, and they were still virgins. I thought it was sad rather than weird. You have a certain amount of years that you've lived and experienced things, I would imagine sex to be one of them. It's sad that people that old had never experienced being with someone, or being intimate with another person they liked.

I do think you're still young, though.

To answer the question honestly, let's just toss my soul to the side real quick. Now that I have none...

I'm generally surprised to hear someone is a virgin if they're above 23 or 24. Of course, it all depends on the person but that would be my best estimate, objectively speaking.

You're not the only virgin out there that doesn't want to be. I hate to scare you too, but sometimes the opportunity to never arrives. For someone that isn't pursuing a relationship and maybe isn't super social, or flirty, does it really surprise you that you are a virgin. Also, a lot of non-virgins lost it to an uglier counterpart fyi. It's not just beautiful people.

I don't think it's ever weird or sad. Some people aren't into sex so they never have it. Kind of like me. It depends on the person.

Being a virgin is nothing to be ashamed of regardless of one's age. Losing virginity should only be given consideration when one decides to get married.

The issue today, of course, is that people are seen as objects and not subjects which have a soul. Rather people are looked at based on their appearence and not what they stand for. Hence, the organ which is a part of all our bodies is used for satisfaction and not for its only purpose - to create life.

Exactly that is the issue. You say that you are not a virgin by choice yet you say that you don't want to hire a prostitue or be with someone ugly. It is as though people have become commodities - used for their looks and not their purpose.

Why do you want to lose your virginity? Who tells you that you have to? Why is there pressure to lose something so precious?

Don't just go off and have sex just to lose your virginity it's never weird. Besides who's gonna know anyway

id say 25 is when it starts to become weird

I'd say 24 and up.

I don't generally agree will the whole waiting thing. There comes a point where you just have to do it, or it's an inconvenience. I lost my virginity at 17, and it was inconvenient. I'm glad I never have to say "I'm a virgin" ever again. 19 would be the time to take the decision to lose your virginity asap.

Good luck ;)

heres a question, what if ur asexual?

It def isn't ok if your 40

I'd say it seems strange if you are over 26.

It's your life. You control it. Don't allow others to mould perceptions in your mind of what's weird or abnormal.

Stay true to yourself

I'm of the school that believes it should be experienced early (teens). Emotional, and social drives are effected by sex. Sexual immaturity can cause issues in the adult world.

Not that there's anything wrong with an adult virgin, it's just not good for mental health.

The old saying about loosing your virginity "from a boy to a man" is very a real and important thing.

For both men and women, I'd probably be quite suprised if they were older than 21 and a virgin. I'd probably find it weird by 25, but it wouldn't necessarily put me off them.

Hm.... 27. I think for me 27 is a strange age.

I lost my virginity at 19. It's worth waiting for someone when it will mean something. I have never had one night stands or spontaneous sex because I believe I am better than that. Each to their own or whatever. You do what you feel is right and don't give a fuck about what other people think about this situation. Everything arrives eventually

Id say im pretty normal, and im still a virgin at 19 (20 in december)
I hate it. EVERY SINGLE TIME I casually say im a virgin, people my age say " good for you" or "uhg i wish i were a virgin its less complicated"
BITCH. wtf is wrong with you?! This shit sucks! No one wants a clingy virgin and i dont want my first time to be with a random one night stand!
