Is it shaming that i am a 36 year old virgin

I am anxious to admit that I am a 36 year old virgin. I am not a virgin for religious reasons, I am just a girl who is shy with body image issues. In college it was a small stigma, but now it is a burden... none of my friends know because I am to embarrassed to say anything and fear looks of pity or questions about the subject. This has made me so anxious that it has made the idea of being intimate with anyone scary.

  • You're not bothering anyone, therefore there's no reason to be ashamed.

    Relax and take it easy.

    Nothing wrong with that honey. I was a virgin up until my wedding night. It was something i was very proud of tbh. Don't let it take over your life. Do it when YOUR ready & don't be pressured into doing it if thats not what you really want.

    I can't see any reason to be ashamed of who you are, a virgin or otherwise. I also do not think it is anybody else's business; nobody needs to know. Your personal life is just that; personal.
    I just hope that you have an opportunity to experience a loving relationship before you settle for solitude for the rest of your life.

    You should think of it as an advantage, I'm sure there are more guys willing to be intimate with a virgin than with a rusty keyhole opened so many times...

    Virginity is just a state of being, nothing more or less. Certainly nothing at all to be ashamed of.

    Hey, it's fine. You should really concentrate on finding a decent guy to be friends with, don't say straight away you're a virgin, just tell him you want to get to know him before having sex. once you find a very kind understanding guy just have a little wine, and get it on. I was a virgin quite late because i wanted to save myself for marriage. i am a good looking guy and i'm super horny but i kept myself under control until my mid 20s. i pretty much just made up a sexual history for my bros and they all think i'm a stud (seriously, i always had hot girlfriends and everyone assumed i had sex with them). The first time i did it i got really nervous and couldn't get it up, but after a while i was boning like crazy.
    Sex is really overrated, in fact the fun part about it is the anticipation and the foreplay. If you think you're fat or ugly or weird looking it's hard to feel sexy i know, but just go with it, have fun. life is too short to be miserable. any guy is lucky to make it with a virgin no matter how you look. just be very careful because you will be vulnerable to being exploited by guys, so make sure you spend a couple of months really getting to know them first.

    While your situation may not be normal, your feelings are understandable. I hope you'll get it on with with someone who's worth your while.

    It's far from the norm, so I voted No.

    However, it's not something you should be too worried about; it's more important you focus on overcoming your own anxiety problems and body-image issues, for the sake of your wellbeing. They're the hurdles you need to jump.

    There is nothing wrong with being a virgin. ..try not to focus on it
    I think it would be best to work on your confidence issues first....do things that make you feel good and slowly get a little more daring. And when you feel ready to have sex do so.
