Is it normal to be 18, a guy and still a virgin?

Im 18 and an guy and im still a virgin. I grew up in a small town and i havent had many girl friends because of it. i have had oportunities to have sex but iv backed out of it because i didnt want to just be another guy that she has slept with. i want my first time to be perfect and with a special girl. i have to lie to my friends that i have had sex, im kinda ashamed to admit im still a virgin. idk when she will come into my life and make everything better but is this normal? should i just stop worring about this?

  • I'm still a virgin, too. I would say that the only reason I'm a virgin still is because I don't fall under the group of people that have sex just for the sake of having it. I too have been given many oppertunities to loose my virginity, but the offers were by an actual prostitute, someone that wasn't a prostitute but slept with just as many people, and someone that was in the group I socialized with.
    I think I just don't hold sex to be something as great as everyone else seems it to be. Not to mention, even if I wanted to have sex just as much as everyone else, I would probably still be a virgin due to the "work" you could call it of having to find someone and make them interested in having sex with me. I'm a very lazy person.

    • Hmmm...couldn't have said it better myself.
      Although I'm quite shocked that you're a virgin still.

      • To be honest, alot of people have said that to me, in reality and online. Alot of people don't get why I don't hide it, I personally don't understand why it needs to be hidden.
        Like I said, the oppertunities I have had have been bad ones with the acception of one, but I have reasons for not taking the last ones indirect offers.
        I'm also quite antisocial aswell, so that also would make it hard for me to lose my virginity unless I was out with the soul purpose of having sex.
        Besides, I could only really see myself having sex in a relationship, I'm not much of a relationship person, so you can see why that's a problem.
        Also, I would be very picky on who I have sex with. So far there has only been one person I would even consider having sex with, she's nothing special though.

        Sorry for the long reply, I have a terrible toothache and have to occupy myself to take my focus off of it's irritating pain.

        • No its okay Loool..get better. :)

          Anyhow thats just like me. Mostly all my friends have lost their virginity to people they weren't in relationships with or people they didn't even like just because everyone else was having sex. I think its quite sad to be honest. To me its like sex lost its value. Its not considered a special thing anymore and I understand that its just sex but to do it with people you don't like is just ridiculous. Personally I would like to have sex...even at my young age but I'm not just going to settle with anyone. I'm even picky when it comes to relationships.

          Hmm...now I'm sorry for the long reply.

          • Sex isn't really about having sex nowadays, it's more about being recognized as having sex.

            No worries, I gave you a long reply, I can't complain if you send one back.

    God, society is f*cked up nowadays. If you were over 30, I'd say it was okay to ask this question. But 18?? That just means ur not a pervert.

    dude im 21 years old. im a virgin because its frightening for me to lose it to sum girl i know nothing about and because i turned down opportunities and because i dont get out much either.

    i made a post about this last night. why is it such a big deal that a guy my age or around it is still a virgin?

    i even wondered how i would act after having sex for the 1st time. if i stay the same then it was pointless. if i change then in what way?

  • Keep yourself for the one you want to marry. Abstinence not only proves your dedication but also strengthens a relationship... And it also makes the first time that much more special. Respect yourself and don't hide the fact you're waiting... Oh and also if your friends will look down on you for your purity then they're not very good friends.

    I'm engaged. I'm a virgin. I'm eighteen. I've classmates who are male and virgin.

    Don't worry. A lot of people think guys who keep their virginities are "gay" or "lame". It's actually okay, cute I think. Though be careful, there are a lot of women who'd be eager to take that v, to boost their ego. It kinda' makes them feel proud to "introduce" the once-virgin guy to the world of sex.

    I hope you find that girl soon. Good luck. xD

  • My mom said that people like you and I are rare gems. Although I would not like to tamper with other people's lives-that's their business and that's all there is to it. I am personally waiting until I'm married or, if I absolutely cannot wait, at least not until I'm engaged. ;] However, I am never going to look down on people for making their own decisions, whatever it may be.

  • You're fine and perfectly normal. It's just a sad society we live in where we have to be "ashamed" of our virginity. I'm pure, I'm a virgin, I'm a male, I'm 19, and I do sit on my high horse, holier than thou. And I'm damn proud of it. For real.

    I'm 18 myself and still a virgin, and I think it's quite normal. There'll always be people who might find it odd, but who cares... My problem is I have problems with finding a girlfriend whom I'd love enough, and since I'm studying it's not easy for me to just go and find a girlfriend. If anyone laughs at you just because you're a virgin, stop being friends with idiots like that.

    My advice is to go pay for it. I was a virgin until I was 22. I wish I paid for it when I was 18. Then you have nothing to worry about when you meet someone

  • I was 21 when I lost my virginity and I was a very "pure" person just about up to that point, as in I hadnt had any physically relationships with any women up to that point, cept for a quick kiss, which is nothing really.

    If you are waiting for it to be something special then wait for someone you really care about, if you just want to do it, to do it, then it will be a big letdown after waiting 20 yrs or so. And for me that has nothing to do with her performance, my performance (which I am sure was average at best) and the girl I was with was pretty hot, (8 out of 10 at least, mayby 9).

    I was struck at how much of a letdown it was, like this is what everyone was talking about in HS ? This was what all the talk was about? Wow.

    sex should be repeated with someone you love, in my opinion and in high school alot of guys "hit it and quit it"... im a female and although a guy who knows what he is doing sounds hotter than a guy whos guessing, i think confidence is way more important... ima virgin, and the same age as you and i think virgins are underestimated.

    Of course its normal. I, honestly would prefer a virgin rather then someone who isnt neway. You're supposed to have sex with someone you love not a one night stand or a fuck me and leAve twoo weeks later thing. Just my opinion.

    My boyfriend was a virgin till he was 18 aswell. He is a great looking man and he reasons were much like yours. very small town and didnt meet the one yet. he lost it to his ex before we met but i still love that he waited so long it makes sleeping with him feel special. wait and hold off until you really love someone :)
