I'm 19, and still a virgin atm. I have been in three relationships so far and the farthest I've gone was making out. I guess I felt a lot of guilt because I grew up religious. Now as I prepare to fly off to university, I've been regretting the fact that I didn't have sex earlier. Theres something so romantic about highschool love/sex, when your still a horny kid and lack responsibilities. I feel like i missed out on this key aspect of life that pretty much everyone else experiences, and I feel this immense regret. Is this normal? Am I creepy for romanticising highschool relationships so much?

    A lot less people are having sex in high school than what the media/teen films portray

      Agreed. The media and teen films are extremely unrealistic in a lot of ways and definitely overly glorify that age.

        Yes they do and at the same time I find it disgusting as well as saddening. That I didn't get to experience that. But they also seem to be sexualising very young people/minors which I thought was wrong???

          It is wrong.

          Don't be sad you didn't get to experience it, as there are more people who didn't than you think, plus I highly doubt that high school-age sex is the best sex. There is more to it than just raging hormones.

      I guess I over glorify it because I feel like I kind of missed out on some of the stuff. things feel bigger then they are when you don't experience them.

    I don't think it's a bad thing at all, and losing your virginity is not a race.

    I actually think the fact that high school kids tend to lack responsibility would make the risk of pregnancy or STDs even worse.

    To be honest, almost everyone I knew who had sex in high school either ended up regretting it, or at the very least does not cherish the memories. They didn't end up with that person and most caved into pressure instead of doing it because they felt it was right for them.

    Don't believe all of the crap in the media about high school relationships, it is immensely over-glorified (as is most of what you see on TV).

      I guess the fact that I've never experienced it makes it seem much better then it is. I guess it's not too late yet. better to do it smart and safe.

        Very true! Also, I think the fact that it is so hyped up by society and the media most likely has a lot to do with it as well.

    Don’t feel pressured to have sex because “everyone does it”. Take it at your own pace. It’s a memorable event in your life so don’t cheapen it.

    I beg to differ, because a really irresponsible thing that teenagers, and other morons do is to not use protection. When people fail to use protection bad things happen like contacting STDs, and ending up with crisis pregnancies.

    Be smart, safe yourself for someone you love, and use protection.

    Yes you should have had sex in high school with multiple multiple men and women to find out if you're gay or bisexual or you can do that in college now just fuck everybody

    DUDE I'm the same way. Except I haven't even had a first kiss. I'm 24 but I'd give anything to go back to being a kid just so I can experience that.

    you should pick up a hooker to get some experience before you find a girlfriend and don't know what you are doing. Be honest with the hooker that you are a virgin

    Once you get a bit older you wont regret it. I didnt have sex until i was in college. Starting college i felt regret about it but looking back now i truly dont regret not having sex in highschool. Youll have plenty of time to experiment throughout your 20s. Do be smart and wear protection. I got chlamydia from a guy i was seeing when i was 24 😑
