Is it normal that i don't want to have sex?

I'm a girl and I'm straight, and I'm always crushing on guys but I really don't want to have sex. I may just be scared, but I've never had any desire to have sex.
I'm quite self-conscious to begin with and I don't like the idea of someone - even someone I like - seeing me without clothes. But also, I'm scared it would hurt and I'd be paranoid that I'd get pregnant or get an STD, even if it was safe.
I want a relationship though, but I know a person would break up with me if I didn't eventually have sex with them, so I kind of feel like I'll never have a proper relationship.
Anyone feel like this, guy or girl??

    I find myself laughing at all this "advice" that really doesn't take into consideration the person it is aimed at, at all. They just write their own perspective regardless of the question. And sometimes not even being honest, just wanting to show off.
    I support everyone who says this you are the person in charge of your own life. You seem to have preconceived notions of what a "proper" relationship is, brought on by your culture, and you impose these fears on yourself. Perhaps it would work to see people for who they are, rather than try to pre-project what kind of relationships you could have with them.

    You're Asexual just like me honey, you want/love companionship but you don't have the desire for sex/sexual activities. Be proud, stay a virgin. :)

    You don't have to have sex, unless you're ready and that doesn't mean a relationship isn't proper. I was afraid to be judged about myself naked. It's okay. If a guy pressures you to have sex, when you still are scared to have sex, then he's an asshole. Always do, what feels right for you. :)

    Yes when someone loves you he will help and wait untill you are ready but that wont be forever cause we all are humans and have feelimgs and desires.there is no need to blame boys for not being with you without sex.Sex is natural and its one of the most important things in strong relationships.What about STD its good that you are carefull but what about being scared,no need I was in the same situation but think all people around do it and no one dies of it or becomes sick.Just make sure you do it with the right person.Dont think that its late or you are not normal.I lost my virginity at 19 and I am happy that I did it with the right one and proud that I am the only girl in collegge that all guys respect and dont say I f**cked her

    I'm a 22yr old male! I was the Exact same way! I even said the same thing" wl I'll never have a relationship cause they'll break up with me for not having sex" when you find that person that really 100% loves you and you him! You will feel totally comforatable! If they truley love you they wait! ... I never knew how people took showers together! I said I would never be that comforatable with anyone! But know I've been with my gf for over a year and probably three months dating I was comforatable enough to have sex and takie a shower with her! So yes it's normal and good luck!

    you need to talk to him and maybe start with something more easy like oral and fingering

    If you dont want the guy to see you all the way naked leave your shirt on. Eventually you will be comfortable with taking it off.

    Yep he won't care what u look like andnif he does then u shouldn't be with him. If ur not ready for sex yet that's ok. When u meet the right guy u can ease into by doing other sexual things to get used to though of him seeing u or just sex in general. Don't do it if ur not ready tho. It will hurt but after a few. Times u will love it

    You will probably eventually be ready for sex, when you meet the right person. And it IS gonna hurt at first, but after a few times, you will start to enjoy it. As for your body...guys are gonna be so excited that they are seeing a naked girl that they are not gonna notice any flaws. I promise. I was afraid of my guys seeing my stretch marks, but we notice things that they wouldn't even think twice about. They focus on our good assets, not our bad ones. I am sure that any guy will think that you look beautiful naked. Make sure whenever you decide to give it up that it is to someone worth giving it up to.

    Sex is a huge deal, so if you don't want to have it and the person breaks up with you, then they've got their priorities all wrong. Frankly, you sound too young to be sleeping around anyway. Just remember, it's your body and you are in the drivers' seat.

    Sex is good but... If you're not ready then you're not ready yet. No big deal really and I'm sure you can have a good relationship with the right guy while abstaining from sex. Don't worry about it so much it'll happen when it happens

    yeah i'm kind of the same way. i'm young, and i know i will eventually do it, but sometimes it just scares me because i am really self conscious so i don't really want anyone to see me naked, and i am terrified of getting an STD, etc..

    if a guy loves you then he won't care about the sex if he breaks up with you for noy having sex thats pretty shallow. go at your own pace

    Have you ever tried masturbation? Seriously you have to be comfortable with your own sexuality before you can enjoy sex. You sound like a person who is at the age where you should be focused on other things, like school.

    Well, it could be sexual arousal disorder. If you think it could be that, the main way to fix it is to watch pornography.
