Are you a virgin? How old are you? if not, when was your first? Please contribute anything else you want to say; let's keep this a productive conversation!
The reason i am asking more than one question is because "no" isn't an accurate answer. You may have remained a virgin until later in your life, and this will not be accurately portrayed by a simple "yes or no" answer.
ALSO, i would prefer if we called it "giving" one's virginity, unless yours is a rape story, it should not have been "lost" or "taken"; in which case, i expect everyone who sees your comments to be supportive. Which leads me to add another question....
if you were, in any way at all, not willing, or you felt violated afterwards, and you have never had a genuine, loving, intimate sexual experience, you may say "Yes" you are still a virgin, but i ask that you tick response #4, please.
For those of you who were raped, or who are just beginning to realise that what was done to you, and how you "lost" your virginity was wrong, even though you so much don't want it to be what it really is - rape - i ask you to be strong and respect yourself and the understanding that, even if you hate this harsh term and the very sound of the word is a trigger for you, please, acknowledged that you were abused for the sake of others, and yourself.
You may also tick this box if it wasn't how you "lost" your virginity. A new thread for those who were assaulted, no matter how crafty and non-violent the tactics: link
i am 25, to be 26 this October, and i have never dated, kissed, or so much as held hands. My vibrator has been liberating and extremely therapeutic for me in many ways beyond the physical. However, while i crave a significant other and children (some day, i hope!), there is just no one in my life, and there may not be for quite a number of years more.
This often made me feel lonely and unnatural, but it is actually normal for a great many more people than most are aware of. So, i want as many of you to answer this as possible, please, so we can all know that anyone beyond the teen years who hasn't had sex is the "last of their kind" on the face of the "whole earth."
i was molested by my mother most every day since as early as infancy. Now that i have been apart from her for a year, i am beginning to realise how wrong her actions were and coming to understand the severity of what really happened even though i want to pass it off so i don't have to admit to myself it was as bad as it really was. i am also slowly recovering memories, as is my brother, who had it worse than i, which may one day force me to have to admit what i fear may have happened - that i may have been raped - though i may never remember, for sure.
i want this thread to stay opened and bumped for at least a year for accurate inquiry.
