Is it normal i i'm depressed i'm turning 20 and still a virgin?

I'm 20 and a guy, not religious at all but still a virgin. I know only like 10% pf America is a virgin at this age and it makes me feel really crappy. I've sort of had a sheltered childhood where I went to a prep school with a graduating class of 60 where more than half graduated virgin I think. I was also a bit of a dork, but I think this past year I improved a lot, as I wear contacts now and am in pretty good shape.

I'm in a big university where their are very few virgins my age, and I feel bad because I never seem to be able to get my sh!t together. Most of my college friends assume I'm not, because I'm not ugly or too weird. I just don't get why it hasn't happened yet. I really don't think there's anything wrong with me. Is it possible I'm just a late bloomer? Sorry if this sounds like a rant, I'm just really frustrated that it hasn't happened, and hopefully someone could make me feel better.

  • I'm a girl but don't feel bad it didn't happen for me until I was 24! I wouldn't tell friends or your dates that you haven't. You can ease into it, when the time is right and she not know. I suggest even let the girl take the lead, we're used to it. Get yourself out there hanging out with friends don't be afraid to ask a girl to hang out. If you get turned down your no less of a person. Complement and ask girls what they like to do and stuff, believe me we eat that stuff up! Kissing leads to touching, touching leads to sex!

    I believe its normal. With all the media and influences nowadays that promote sex, I see why this generation would have sex at a much earlier age. I lost mine at 23 to my loving girlfriend and don't really give a flying fudge that I was a little late than others. In my opinion its just a matter of waiting for the right person unless you're literally looking for a "Wam-Bam-Thank you ma`am" then I dont really know what to say lol. Best of luck man.

    I'm 22 and a virgin. I just never had a serious bf yet. I don't worry about it. I think it is normal to not want all the drama with someone you don't really care about.

    I know how you feel as I was a late bloomer too, though I did it at 19. Virginity is not dignity but lack of opportunity so it's truly a horrible feeling. It's as if you aren't selected or something.

    There's really nothing wrong with being a virgin honestly. Don't feel bad.

    Try another guy. Suck him off till he gets horny and then let him give it to you up the ass.

    Look. I think you're at that age where you should just take the plunge. Many may say that your first time should be special but that only applies for women and you're a man and therefore your first time would be the same as your last time. So go out there, find a girl and loose that V card!!

    When I was 20 my gf took me to bed. She was 18 a freshman in college. Locking me in her bedroom she stripped me naked then got naked herself. After lots of kissing and gropping she swallowed my cock giving me my first taste of oral sex. She sat on my face and taught me to eat her. From that day on we 69ed our preferred way to ease each other. No need for condoms and pure pleasure. She didn't swallow preferring to spit me out when I came spraying us both with come. She loved the smell of come permeating the room

    It's completely normal! I was a 25 year old virgin in college and it felt like I was the only one and I would never find someone I wanted to lose it to or would have to settle for some guy I didn't really like. I met a great guy who waited until I was ready and we have an amazing sex life. I was a late bloomer no shame in it some of us just take longer and that's ok. :)

    Also, my bf wasn't a virgin when we met but he was 25 when he lost his virginity. He's in his 30's now and doesn't feel like he missed anything by being a late bloomer.

  • I knew a guy who was a virgin until he was like 24 or something, but he was a fuckhead anyway so I didn't feel bad for him.

    i think your standards aren't low enough. most guys lose their virginity to anyone and not specific people. js

    I'm the same age, but I'm in no rush to have sex. It may be because I'm a demisexual and I've never been in a deep relationship. But as I got older, I have changed my mind about having sex only after marriage- I mean, premarital sex shouldn't be frowned upon. But waiting until you're ready is just as important, too.

    Don't be picky, and basically ask a girl what you want, most girls shockingly enough want sex too.

    Fishing for a good time starts with throwing in your line.

    I think it is normal to be stressed or upset by it and worry about it. For me, it has been something I have thought about a lot, and something I have with discontent with for a large part of my life. I am now 27, and I have never had a girlfriend.
    Of course, I don't know whether you just haven't had sex, or if you by stating that you are a virgin mean that you are more inexperienced than that.

    The statistics you mention put in into perspective. I was surprised to read that in Denmark, 10% of 24 year olds are virgins, i.e., I was surprised that it was that many.
    If one in every 10 people you meet is a virgin, then you're pretty normal.

    You say, that your friends assume that you aren't a virgin, but is it something to hide? I'm not saying you should be proud of not having had sex, but how about just treating it matter-of-factly?

    I think you should not view as much as something that will happen as you seem to do. When thinking of my own life, I think that a part of the problem has been that I have had lived as if something should happen, that someone would start liking me out of the blue. That is also the easy thing to do, if you don't have much confidence.

    Instead of hoping that it will happen, find out what you want and do it. If you want something to do with a girl, ask her out.
