Is it normal to want to give up my virginity, but can't?

I've been dating this guy for 7 months (who I love.) I've wanted to give him my virginity for quite a while but when we get heated I tend to back out before any undressing happens. I don't know if its because I'm just inexperienced or just scared. Is it normal to want to give it up, but can't?

Is It Normal?

  • It's normal to be scared. Only do it when you're ready.

  • This may seem a bit Extreme, but...

    Saying I love you is not the words I want to hear from you
    It's not that I want you not to say, but if you only knew
    How easy it would be to show me how you feel
    more than words is all you have to do to make it real..

  • I thought that, but that when I actually had sex, it was fun and enjoyable and not as serious as I thought. Having sex doesn't change your value as a person, personally I think (that you should wait until old enough) there's too much emphasis on virginity.

  • If you are over 18 and know about safe sex and how to avoid getting pregnant, then you should not be depriving yourself and this guy you love, of the joys of sex.
    I don't see why people think that 'losing' one's virginity is such a bad thing. It's really opening a door into a whole new natural wonderful world. Sex can and should be grand fun, not thought of as some sordid sweaty act, performed in a shabby motel room.
    You only get one shot at life; live it to the fullest.

  • I wouldn't rush yourself , you have plenty of time . He might not even be the right guy . I think you should do it with someone who make's it the most comfortable and worth while experience . It's sweet of you , it would be nice to find someone to offer their virginity to me .

  • hmm. Kind of sounds like you're self-conscious about your body, y'think that could be the case? Sometimes talking about it with your partner helps
