Worth the wait ?

Question

So I recently celebrated my 25th birthday and came to realize I'm STILL a virgin. My parents brought me up to save myself for marriage and for so many years I thought thats what I wanted, however now that im 25 and can't seem to find the right guy I'm feelimg like maybe it wasn't worth waiting. Now I know some of you may think "Just do it" but for me it's not that easy. I'm such an emotionally involved person I cant just sleep with anyone and I've gotten to the point that I'm a little ashamed that im still a virgin. I mean when I was younger I seen it as a good thing but now that im older I'm getting more and more nervous to talk about it when dating. Basically I'm sexually awkward. ( Don't even know if thats a real thing) but you catch my drift. Idk Was the wait worth it ? Kind of starting to feel like I wasted my life being a "good girl" I always did everythingg right even, never went througha rebellious stage or anything.

Answer

It's definitely worth the wait. I am 30 and I've been married for 3.5 years. I wish I would have saved myself until I got married. I have a friend who is over 40 years old and she is saving herself for marriage. I really commend her for that.

I lost my virginity in April, to someone who had told me they didn’t want a relationship with, I was 17 and fine with it. It was okay at the time and I woke up the day after with no regrets. Fast forward 3 months later and I met my now boyfriend, I do wish i’d saved it for him but it wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t have sex before I think? If that makes sense. He had sex once last year at 17 too, so we both kind of class each other as our first sexual partners because I only had sex once when losing my virginity same as him🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

I’m emotional too when it comes to sex. I wasn’t raised to wait until marriage and didn’t want to but I waited until I was in a committed relationship. I didn’t lose it until 23 when I got with my SO 😊 at some points, yeah I felt pressured or like I was “too old” but I knew at the end of the day, I wanted to have comfortable sex with someone I trusted. That was more important to me than just “getting over it” due to a societal label. My advice? Have sex when you want, because you want and with whom you want—ignore outside pressure from both directions telling you to wait or get it over with

Answer

I was 21 when I lost my virginity to my now husband. 
Even though I’ve never been with anyone else even I regret not waiting until we were actually married (we were together a little under two years before marriage).
You’ve said you haven’t managed to find the right guy.. Do you think that if you were already sexually active you would have had sex with any of the guys that weren’t right for you otherwise?
If the answer is no then I don’t see that point in having sex with someone just to be able to say that you aren’t a virgin anymore..
Even though not as much emphasis is placed on virginity now as it was previously I still see it as a special and an emotional connection with another person.
You’re only 25. I think it’s really admirable of you to have waited so far (and to continue to wait if that’s what you choose) when it’s not necessarily the social “norm” to do so

Answer

I’m almost 25 and sometimes I wish I would of waited until marriage but that didn’t happen for me. People say they are saving themselves for the right person but you never really know who’s the right person. At the time I lost my virginity I thought I found my person but we broke up. I wish I could of saved myself for the right guy because your first time is something you’ll never get back. But waiting until marriage is ultimately your decision.
