I feel ashamed of being a virgin

I'm 22 years old. I'm a decent looking guy but because of my anti-social ways or inability to get close with someone, I haven't been intimate in awhile. The most intimate I've been was kissing some girl back in the 7th grade during summer camp. It apparently was such a monumental occasion that I forgot entirely.

I'm not incapable of seducing someone. I've talked to girls about sex but when it comes down to it or when the signs are undeniably leading that way, I panic.

Now anytime I see anyone mentioning sex, no matter what it is, or how raunchy, I feel ashamed. I'm not even really looking for casual sex but the realization that I haven't been able to even if I wanted to crushes me.

    Nothing to be ashamed of but I think you need to exorcise that demon if its eating away at you. You need to find someone you feel comfortable with who is understanding and just let go.

      I agree. Finding that person is a whole 'nother story.

    I'm a christian and believe sex is for marriage, but that doesnt mean its easy. Of course I WANT sex, but it's worth the wait. Feel no shame my friend.

    Try prostitutes to begin. I'm sure they're used to seeing shy guy. Just be careful. I'm sure it helps.

    Be confident with who you are. And when the right girl comes along, it will come naturally don't worry so much about being a virgin, you probably dwell over it because todays society most are having sex at 13. But take your time :) And the right girl will understand I promise :)

    Virginity is just an imagined concept and you shouldn't care dude. People can lose their virginity to a tree, a moose, their uncle, a prostitute, or whatever. It only matters when you're ready and fully mature when it happens. And that it happens with someone you love, else you'll feel like shit after it. Sex is more than just two genitals slamming into each other, trust me. It's better when an emotional connection is involved.

      I agree. In my best place I share this mindset. I want to believe that the girl for me would understand but unfortunately I don't. Not completely, at least.

    Or... OR...

    You could go for the virgin world record?

    How old do you think the world's oldest virgin is/was? Take a wild guess
