In one of the posts I had posted that i am a virgin at the age of 22 . I have been getting responses since then and people are astonished that I am still a virgin. Is it wrong to be a virgin at this age? What are your views please post?

No, it is absolutely NOT wrong. There is no reason for you to change until you are ready - no matter what age that is. You should feel good about yourself that you are in control of that part of your life - it is not in control of you. Be proud of yourself and be one as long as you want to. There is nothing bad about it! Don't let anyone make you feel bad about it, either!

I agree with the others, there's nothing "bad" about that at all. I was a teenager in the sixties and seventies -- it was a very promiscuous time but I don't necessarily consider that to be a good thing(it just seemed good at the time). Give it to someone you love and hope that they appreciate you for it.

Not at all! Don't worry about something like that. It shows you are a gentleman and not a one night stand kind of guy.

I think your virginty is something only you can decide what you feel comfortable doing with. I lost mine at 14, now I wish I had waited. Make your own decisions and stand strong. Never be ashamed of the choices you have made. Because they are yours, and you are an individual!

No. I am 24 and still a virgin. In fact, I have been with my current boyfriend, who is also a virgin, for over 2 1/2 years and we are talking about marriage and we still haven't done it b/c we want our wedding night to be special and something that we can experience new together.

Well if being virgin at 22 is crime, then being virgin at 28 is a bigger crime & I surely deserve lot of punishment for that.. lol!!. I think its absolutely fine to be virgin as long as you want, people may say anything. Infact most people just lie when they say that they have done it when they were 15 or that they have done it with 20 partners and all that rubbish. Hey, its a matter of choice though and people are not too fussy on this issue about tissue, but its upto you. I would prefer to do it with someone I really love and someone I wish to spend my lifetime with and wouldn't do it just cus it's the time!!

Nope their is nothing wrong to be a virgin at 22 and for that even you are 32 and still a virgin it realy doesn't matter as long you know that you are not a frigid and you not going through a mental block where you deny yourself to commit for a relationship. And in your case you got plenty of time in your hand..so be Mary and choose wisely whom to surrender the most beautiful gift you can give to some one.

It's not wrong in particular, but you need to think about the reasons why you choose to remain this way. I'm 24, and remained a virgin until I was 23. Used to believe it would be special to wait until I met that perfect one. But, honestly, what chances are there that you will encounter someone who is as like minded as you, and would it truly make any difference at all. I honestly no longer believe in true love, and the idea of self preservation in this day and age is a long decimated ideology. If you're waiting because you think it will mean something, then you are probably wrong. However, if you are waiting because you personally believe in it, or simply are not ready, then way to go. I chose to begin sleeping around, hitting the club scenes looking for one night stands, and after 6 months or so of this, I see my hesitation as delusional fantasies of romance. I look back with no regrets, because in the end waiting has no real value. In fact, waiting lead to the collapse of several relationships. The women I've dated tended not to understand why I would want to wait when they've been with multiple partners. It's all up to you and what you think is right, don't do it fro anyone else or for any self deluded romantic ideas.

Don't feel bad about that at all. I am 23 and in the same situation as you are, and I will be that way until I am ready to share that with my wife (when I find/marry her). Anyone that tries to make you feel bad for that is likely just trying to make themselves feel better at your expense. Don't listen to those people. Be your own person, and your future spouse will appreciate your patience I am sure.
