Given that Ross is British, I assumed it was a reference to Cliff Richard.
Not a virgin, I’m afraid. Though I was older than quite a few of the so-far referenced ages when I “became a man”

Roll call? “Here!”
What I hate is when a man finds out, and instantly assumes you’ve been saving yourself for him…
I used to get female friends coming to me and telling me all their problems and secrets… They seemed to think that I was morally stronger than they and used me as a confessor or something. sheesh
I’m 26, and yes, I’ve had a first…
…kiss.
innocent look
What?
Never had a first. Seemed way too awkward, so I skipped straight to my second.

andygirl, girlwithwings, from the lesbian perspective, how do you define virginity? I vaguely remember a discussion of this in Chasing Amy, but I’m unclear. Do y’all consider it a state of mind, particular acts, what?
Sua
I am, but only for another month or so ;).
I’d tackle this misconception myself but in the interests of spreading the snopes love, here you go:

FTR, not a virgin but celibate again for religious reasons. Repented and all that.
I was until 26, when I met the man I would marry. Still incredibly happy and in love 8 years later. I’m glad I waited.
So the follow-up question for the rest of you: just how much does it hurt the first time? I’m not looking forward to excruciating, frightening pain in the most intimate part of my body, given to me by the man I love, no less. Does it stretch out and get easier afterwards, or does it depend on how often you do it?

yup. and reasonably happy about the situation.
Yep. Female, 25, pretty much resigned to it by now. Though this is one thing I’d really love to change…the right guy (or ANY guy!) hasn’t come along yet.
There are a lot of good reasons to wait to have sex.
Being afraid of the pain is not one of them.
Barring anatomical peculiarities, a gentle, patient man, as any fellow worth your cherry will be, will cause you very little pain. And you’ll forget about that quickly enough and be eager to get on to round two.
For me, burning the roof of my mouth on really hot pizza is worse. YMMV, of course.
18 year old virgin here too… just never found any guy at all and I’m not gonna hop into the sack with the first guy to show any interest… I am kinda curious about it though. -shrugs-
Utterly inexperienced.
Sick of it. Do me, damn it, do me now!!
27 year old virgin male checking in.
Same with me. I’m 16. I also believe that I’d let my parents down if I ever had sex before I get married. And the final reason? It’d just be too hard to find a place. I’m not really disappointed; just anxious.
Yep, 19 year old virgin here, will be a 20 year old virgin in a month. What’s worse is I have never even had a boyfriend, or been kissed. How sad it that? I will tell you how sad. Really sad.
If/when you get to college the “place” issue sort of disappears. Then again, that was never my problem. Four years of college and still a virgin.
High school is tough because you think everyone is doing it. College is worse because you know everyone is doing it.
23 and never been kissed. I’ve termed myself a Virgin by Default, because I never had a chance to have sex.
sigh
I’m too goddamn picky.
25 year old virgin, here. I’m not quite as depressed about the “no sex” part as I am about the “never been in love” part, which is what I really want. Although if I haven’t been laid before my 30th birthday, I’m hiring a professional. Well, at worst, only 1,567 days to go.
If you’re worried, go to your gynecologist and have your hymen cut so it won’t hurt the first time. FWIW, it hurt me no worst than a good (bad?) pinch. I did notice the next day when I sat down that I was a little . . . um, tender.
