Virgin junior, is that normal?

I just finished my junior year of high school. Recently I was hanging out with some of my friends, and they started talking about when they lost their virginity, and what guys they lost it to. I was actually surprised to hear that most of them lost their virginity as freshman, and a few even before that. So me being still a virgin when I'm about to be a senior next year, I felt kind of like the black sheep. It's not religious or anything along those lines, I just haven't found someone who felt like the right person. Is it strange that I still haven't lost my virginity yet? Should I be trying to?

    I am proud of you. You don't have to have sex. smoke or drink just because it's popular among your friends.

    Your virginity is something you won't ever get back once you loose it. It's not worth stooping to those girls level. You should feel very proud of yourself. 👍🏻

              I suppose you could think about it, but it's more fun to act on impulse. Makes everlasting memories.

    Hey woah! I'm a senior, I just graduated high school... I'm a 17 year old girl. I TOTALLY get your feelings. Look, I've never in my life dated someone, or held hands or even kissed a guy. Love is all so new to me, and I'm older than you lol. Here's a crazy thing I do... but I sleep with a picture of I guy I love and I kiss and cuddle it, and I imagine having sex and a nice smooch with him lmao.
    Girls our age are horny. I'm just stating the truth. We're hormonal and moody and we feel emotions a little more intensely than most men. What we feel about sex and romance is what drives us to actually do it. Some girls lose it early due to pressure, they're simply curious and want to try it, or they think they're doing it with a guy they will love forever.
    But the other thing about girls our age is that we can be just as naive, stupid and immature as boys. Sometimes we don't think straight becuase we're young, and we kinda just "fuck whomever". Honestly, most teenagers in general let our heart over mind on a lot of things, and we don't think thing through before we do it. And that's honestly why I think so many people in high school (and now middle school) are having a lot of sex. They're not thinking straight. And I hate to ruin the fun, but over 90% of high school crushed don't last... so... why fuck some lousy classmate when you can graduate and see the real world full of men and get the chance some day to find a true love and make love to him?
    That's how I think of it.
    I was also suprised like you to hear some of my classmates talk about the sex they had. One kid claimed he banged his girlfriend in the backseat of his car... but he's 15... and I know that guy. His car is his parent's van... gross!! Sex in high school looks kinda wild and fun but it can be some of the worst times ever and I know so many people who regret it. I had another classmate who was extremely pregnant. She was 17 like me which means she got pregnant when she was about 16, and I'm sure she wasn't a virgin then, either. She told me one day that she could feel her baby kicking inside of her. She had to wear huuuge shirts to cover up her giant bump. And although fortunately everybody thought the baby was sweet and I did make friends with the girl, it creeped me out and scared me nonetheless. I was not alright with the fact that this girl was the same age as me and she was VERY pregnant. I don't think the father was with her anymore either... which is sad, but oh-so typical.
    So to conclude what I'm trying to say... YES it is 100% normal for you to be thinking about, wanting to, and try to engage in sex for your age. I know I've been sounding like an old lady this time, but I want to remind you and advise you some things. You NEED to have a special man that you love and can trust and COMMUNICATE with when you're ready to do it for the first time (and for every time). I personally have not dated anyone becuase I love older men (being 17 and wanting a man in his 40s isn't easy lol!) so that's why I have to wait. I'm not even really legal for the guys I want haha. But someday you will find a gorgeous, sweet, perfect guy... it's sounds cliche but you gotta trust me on this... don't go out trying to find love. It will come to you when you least expect it. And that goes for all forms of love, even sex. You will have sex when the time is right for you and you're ready, as long as you don't make a foolish decision like most teenagers do. And please, ALWAYS use protection... I know sometimes it's not "fun/cool" or whatever... but having an unexpected baby or STDs or AIDS is even worse. Nobody will have to know if you or you man uses a condom. What's great about sex is that it should really be between you two. In the real world, people don't really go around like teenagers and talk about the sexual experience they've had... it's a private thing, and it's a special thing, especially losing your virginity. But sex is sweet. It shouldn't be abused, or used like a weapon. Take your time in life, and you know, you and I are still "kids", and that's honestly a privilege... so stay a kid as long as you can. Once you start having sex, that's one more thing to think about... and it can be a pressure unfortunately to some people.
    So for your senior year, I'd advice you to take it easy, and focus on yourself and your life, but not so much having sex with another. Figure out if you're going to college or what you want to do as your career. Learn a new hobby/talent. Distract your mind from sex or relationships, becuase you're at a crucial moment in your life here in other terms. You'll be done with school forever soon, and you'll have a job, soon pay bills, drive, and do everything adults do... and it will be a sudden change for you. Don't let sex intertwine with any of that "life" stuff and make it a bad experience for you (What I'm saying is that stress can obviously make some bad sex.)
    Gosh, I get so off topic, lol. I hope you found a little bit of comfort and advice in these words. And if it makes you feel any better, I know a 23 year old guy who is still a virgin; he's very shy but he's ready, and now all he's doing is waiting for the right one like you. My friend also knows a lady who was a virgin still at 47.
    You're not weak for being a virgin. I know it sucks, because sometimes you just wanna turn over in bed and get it on but there ain't nobody to love you there... but it will, happen, I promise. Be patient. Just print our a picture of a guy you like in the meantime and kiss it like I do, hahaa.
    Can you tell I relate to you a lot on this topic? I seem to've written a book. My apologies for such a long comment. Good day and good luck to you.

    • This comment was very helpful, no need to apologize about the length. I'm just wondering how you ended up so much smarter than me even though you're like only a year older. Thanks.

        Haha, I'm glad that it helped you, I really just have a natural tendency to "lecture people" becuase I'm an old soul. I suppose I appear "smarter" than you because everything I've learned is from older people- trust me, they're the wise ones, not me lmfao. Anyway I wish you luck, and you're welcome! :P

    Being a virgin is very very very normal for a high school girl. Only about have have lost it by the time they graduate. There is absolutely zero reason to feel abnormal or pressured or anything else that is bad or sort of bad. I was a freshman in college before I went all the way. I also know girls/young women who were still virgins on their wedding day (ages 23 and 24), and while that might not be "normal" these days, both or these people are totally awesome in every way. When you decide to have sex, it should be on your own terms, and you should never ever feel like you have to in order to be "normal." Having sex in high school, especially if it is with a guy that goes to your school or hangs out with your friends, could even turn into a total disaster. You can have lots of fun with guys without going all the way, and believe me when I tell you that going all the way changes everything, and not all for the good.

  • If you don't feel comfortable with a person, you shouldn't have sex with them. And honestly, having sex for the first time isn't all it's cracked up to be. There shouldn't be any pain (unless you don't use enough lube or are too nervous) and there will be no blood (unless you're on your period). Anyways, each time you have sex, it should be with someone you 100% trust, not some random guy at a party.

    I'm a virgin going into senior year. My advice is to not feel pressure to do anything you don't want to do or are not ready for. I honestly suspect that some of your friends are also virgins but are lying about it. If you lose your virginity because of peer pressure you will regret it.

    i've just finished high school and i'm a virgin, not out of some moral perspective but simply because everyone i've met is lame as fuck. it's totally normal. wait until you really want to with someone, rather than out of a sense of obligation. :)

    Half of your friends are probably lying and many of the ones that are telling the truth probably secretly feel dumb and used by whoever they slept with.

    Hang in there. You're normal.
