No, I don't think it's weird. It's a personal choice. If I compared my sex life at 23 to my now ripe old age of 30 and had to choose...I'd definitely stick with 30.

Nope, some people have made that commitment and others haven't found the right person. Others just may be happy not to get involved with a physical relationship or whatever. To each his own, whatever the reason may be.

I really don't get this culture's obsession with virginity to begin with, if she decided not to have sex, that's her business.

I have to ask though, what exactly is the best stuff that she's supposedly missed? One night stands? Multiple partners? Anal sex? Cause that can be done at any age.

I'm turning 23 in a week, and I still haven't had sexual contact of any kind with another person. I'm a little bummed that I haven't yet gotten to experience something that's supposed to be really wonderful - even more wonderful than my toys - but more than that I'm happy I've never jumped into bed with someone just because I felt like I had to.

I don't think it's weird. A person shouldn't want to lose their virginity just for the sake of losing it.

And I'm not sure what you mean by "missing the best stuff." Seems like both good and bad sex can occur at any age.

I lost my virginity at 17, but I don't think there's anything wrong with waiting.

I would say about 30.

No way; there's no set age. It's best to be ready physically, mentally, emotionally than just have sex just because everyone else your age already has and to get it over with.

No way! I was 20 before I had sex and 18 before I had even gone to 1st base with a guy. A lot of people thought that was weird but I didn't find the right guy to do it with.

You'll be ready when you are ready.

I don't think it's weird to be a virgin at a certain age, and certainly not by age 24. I do think it's odd if someone has gotten into middle age without having had a romantic relationship (either having had sex or not).

I also don't agree that by 23 you've missed the best sex. It takes time and trial and error to figure out what works for you. I know that I am constantly learning new things that work for me. I'm only 25 and my sex life continues to get better every year, so I am actually looking forward to getting older and the sex I am going to have.

The Why is the more important aspect. Why are you still a virgin? By choice or not?

I don't think a person's sexual worth starts to go down after 23. The mind is the greatest sexual organ, and at 23 your mind is still developing. Plenty of women hit their sexual peak in their 30s. Yes, younger women tend to have tighter bodies and higher breasts. But I'd take a 30 year old who has an interesting mind and takes care of her body over an inexperienced 18 year old anyday.

If you've reached your twenties single and healthy and you've done your own sexual exploration (you know how to pleasure yourself, you know what your sexual interests are, you know how to be safe, etc) I'd say that you are doing just fine and will have no trouble finding a partner when you're ready. Just relax and don't treat your virginity as something you are just itching to get rid of. Treat it like the next great leap.

Whatever works for the person in question. If someone is happy waiting or not waiting I say let them be happy with what works for them.

I don't find it weird at all
