I feel like shit being a virgin

But I also want it to mean something to me. I’m nearly 25 and don’t want to do one night stands but many many people my age have had many sexual partners and the older I get the more embarrassing it is becoming. Yes I’m shy and reserved and nervous. I recently dated a guy and said that the lack of affection was missing. It was only 2 months and I was just getting comfortable. I didn’t know you had to overthink it I just thought it happened when it was right. Who is ever going to want me ? Why I’m so tense and awkward and a virgin at 25?

    Nothing wrong with being a virgin. I'm female and lost mine at 24 to a guy I'm still currently dating. Never wanted to do the one-night-stand thing either, so I'm with you on that one.

    Just remember, there's people out there who don't like driving used cars.

      I think you have good intentions, but its pretty shitty to liken people who lost their virginity to used cars.

        lol Yeah, but it's true, especially if they have std's, unwanted kids, and relationship issues (baggage).

          I know, but especially as a girl, it often aligns with purity culture. I'll always remember how terrible it felt when my sex-ed teacher in middle school brought up a dirty shoe and talked about how, like the shoe, nobody would want us if we were used. Thing is, I'd been raped. It bothered my self-confidence for years.

          Of course I'm sensitive on the issue and you mean well, but people should feel comfortable no matter their sexual history.

    If you don't want to be a virgin...

    Don't be.

    Don't worry about it. You're young. Live life, and you'll enjoy it when the time is right.

    I was a virgin until I was 23, some days it does suck. But someday you'll find the right person, no worries.

    Seriously.
    want it to mean something?
    Each person I can remember that Ive been with meant something.
    Youre overthinking it.
    Stay safe, but.
    Get the party started.
