Having just gotten out of a painful relationship storm (of the sort everyone is familiar with), I plan on remaining single for a good while into the future. That, in turn, means that I probably won’t lose my virginity for a good long time. I’m not bothered–how can I be upset if I don’t know what I’m missing? Anyway, that’s the genesis of this question. I’m 19, which I realise isn’t _terribly_ late for still being a virgin, but it’s not exactly early, either. I figure I’ll be pushing “late bloomer” if I wait a few more years, but I’m not exactly sure. So, the set-up is this: give your gender and the age you lost your virginity (assuming it was fairly late–average people can stay away ;)) or even if you’re still a virgin. You can tell the story, too, if you like. 19, still got my V-card. ---

I’m the same age as you, and still waiting. It’s not that I’m particularly interested in waiting until I’m married or anything, the opportunity just hasn’t presented itself. ---

1. Also for no particular reason then the opportunity never presented itself. Actually it’s more like I never saw when the opportunity presented itself. Basically I saw a picture of a vase and thought for years it was a vase till suddenly I realized it was also two faces. Followed by much swearing. ---

14, because she was very special. We’re still friends ---

Late bloomer? 19 plus a few years? I don’t think so. 🙂 Try 29, in my case. And it was a great surprise. I’d gotten used to being too weird to be attractive. (But then, after five years in the workplace, I _had_ gone back to school… art school.) I’m male, BTW. ---

I’m sure it’ll get to a matter of days amongst ages: I was 30 yrs 126 days. ---

1. In high school my girlfriend didn’t feel she was ready (fair enough), but changed her mind pretty quickly after breaking up with me. The next couple of years I kept second-guessing myself whenever I thought a girl was interested (self-esteem issues). Then I dated someone for nearly two years who was saving herself until she was engaged, not for religious reasons, but because she “needed reassurance.” After that I was with a girl who had no such compunction, but in the final analysis wasn’t very trustworthy. I wanted to lose my virginity to someone I cared about, but I regret that she turned out not to return those feelings very strongly. Behold, the “nice guy.” :rolleyes: ---

Another virgin still at 19 here. Same as what **NinjaChick** said. ---

First experience at 18. Lost my virginity at 19. I’m a male and an unabashed nerd, but I used to be pretty jocky. ---

24, female and for religious reasons. Sadly, I was one of those “anything _but_” girls that are so delusional and probably everyone can’t stand. In retrospect, although it was with someone I loved deeply, I wish to hell I’d gotten out of the way much sooner. As responsibly as possible, of course. I’d at least, I’m sure, have waited until I was 20 and lived on my own (because that part seems to me to be a good rule to follow). Now that I’ll be newly single again, I plan on making up for the delay. 😃 ---

28 and counting… I’m terribly picky and terribly shy which isn’t a very good combination. ---

I had good prospects all thru high school, but I was painfully shy and had no game whatsoever. I was this close to giving up… if a random cheerleader hadn’t flung herself at me when I was 18, I might be living in a monastery now. Fortunately I figured everything out and now it’s all good. ---

Male, 22. I wasn’t in any great hurry, and was hoping to have this deep connection with someone I cared about very much. Then I realized that was all bullshit, and took the very next opportunity that presented itself. ---

Y’all a bunch of amateurs , I tell ya. Female. 45 and still waiting. ☹ This has not been by my choice, believe me. I can’t even give it away. And yes, I have tried. It sucks. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-here-lost-his-her-virginity-the-latest/345249.md?page=2)
