For whatever reason, a lot of things that people ridiculously love or enjoy, I think is overrated. For example, there are plenty of critically acclaimed films that I think are overrated and aren't that great, like Black Swan, Bonnie and Clyde, and James Cameron's Titanic. There are plenty of classic literature that I think are horrendous, like The Great Gatsby, Jane Eyre, Hamlet, and The Scarlet Letter.

There are a lot of things that people like, that I think are overrated- and as a virgin, I feel like sex will be one of them.

It's probably because everyone thinks sex is the best thing ever or something, but I have a strong feeling that if I do end up losing my virginity, I'll think that sex is overrated- and it wouldn't matter who my partner is, I'll probably have the same reaction- that it wasn't as great as people said it was.

So, is it normal that, as a virgin, I think sex will be overrated? (Note that I'm not saying sex IS overrated, I'm saying that I have a feeling sex WILL be overrated when I finally do it with somebody).

    i think it's reasonable that you THINK so.

    still, comparing it to movies or books is kind of wrong...those are "intellectual" experiences. You make something out of them purely in your mind.

    Sex is a "whole" experience, including body and chemicals in your brain. I think a better "comparison" would be thinks like paragliding, or, if you so want, bungee jumping, or a rollercoaster...things that have the same "effect" of releasing chemicals, being extraordinary enough to trigger a mental focused response, and affecting your physical body.

    Now, if we take a look at those things: You can believe parachuting out of a plane is totally overrated. Even if you never did that. But you won't KNOW what it does for you until you try it. Maybe you are right, maybe totally off...you'll see when it's time. But get your "expectations" into the right kind of direction, and don't compare sex to a book ;)

    Sex is about as good as the effort you put into it.

    It will never be great if you already believe it is overrated.

    Personally, I think it's FANTASTIC! :)
    Sure, my first time wasn't great, but that's no big deal and it only happened once.

    Don't knock it 'till you try it. ;)

    I don't think the first time most people had sex it was fantastic. It's like playing a sticky game of twister, getting all tangled up and trying to figure out how to get comfortable, for those who have the time to worry about getting comfortable that is. Thankfully, it's definitly something that gets better and better.
