You can still have a family even if you're a virgin. Yes for people who want children adoption is an option. I do not want any which is why being a virgin never bothered me. Hence my post about people assuming having children is my only goal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
German User Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Just to get my opinion out. Im a 20 year old guy and even though im in the classical sense unatractive I guess just thanks to my character an self confidence I could have sex if I wanted. But I don't. Other guys preassure me, think I must be desperate, think I'm "In denial" because I am "Just an ugly nerd" but let's face it. I am way more confident then the majority of my peers and I am still aversed to the pursuit of sex. I'm not repulsed, I just don't see the appeal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solitude& Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Nope. I almost did. I wish I would've never gotten married. I only had "sex" because of that. I don't like sex but it's more important to men that it is to women. I don't care about sex. I care more about spirituality and respect. I wish I would've stuck to my standards and I wouldn't be experiencing all this persecution. I would be much happier alone. I am much happier alone. But in my religious community it's only acceptable to cuddle with a man if he's your husband. So I got married so I could experience that without being excommunicated from my congregation. And then we we did have sex it wasn't even good. I didn't enjoy it and can live witjout it for the rest of my life. I hate sex. Or maybe I just hate my ex husband...

verymelancholic Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I don't think so. Humans have put sex on a pedestal so it becomes over-hyped and underwhelming. Most people end up losing it anyway but there isn't anything inherently wrong with staying a virgin. Most aces are too busy with other hobbies to bother or fuss over sex anyway, so we don't really care. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AceyMacey Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 The whole concept of "virginity" is just a tool used by our sexualized culture, but it really doesn't mean anything except that you had sex at least one time. If you don't want to have sex, you don't have to, and if you feel bad because society is telling you that you need to have sex, just know that there's an entire forum of people right here who support you in your preference to stay a virgin. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
goat cheese Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Well, even though I don't recall ever really being sexually attracted to anyone, I have some libido and a large part of my soul (distinguished from my body) wishes I could have that wonderfully exciting and fulfilling experience called intercourse. And now inside I'm screaming lashing out temper tantrum throwing things around cry baby saying to the universe "oh ok! Then I really really want to reincarnate as ace with NO libido whatsoever every single last time I come back to Earth. I really wanted that experience called intercourse as a soul but my body pretty much doesn't give a ****! And all my peers have been ****in their brains out for 2 decades so I'm going through all reincarnations with bodies with zero libido forever. Spend all eternity never ever knowing sexual fulfillment. What do you think about THAT!?.... Mr. UNIVERSE😈 hahahaha. I jump on every single last negative aspect of sex lives and relentlessly pound it into my subconscious so that it will carry over into next life. So yeah, I think being virgin for literal eternity is most Nobel. A famous near-death survivor who came back from Other Side cheerfully informed me that Bible says it's better to be ace than sexual. That if celebacy you live for God if you married you live for spouse and your kids. There are reasons I think that cultures, religions so on everywhere place value on celebacy. I've even heard of yogic disciplines that recommend celebacy. The energy of libido builds and explodes upwards into higher States of consciousness. Done right in yoga that is.

Madao Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I don't see how it could be wrong. It's everyone's personal choice, whether they are asexual or not. Besides, having sex is not really an extraordinary thing you achieve in your life. I don't understand why people get so excited about such a trivial biological function. Life doesn't really stop at sex. (Well, for some people it does, but hey, I am not judging.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AceMissBehaving Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I would say there’s nothing wrong with that. I’ll probably go my whole life without riding a motorcycle, there are plenty of things we won’t do before we die, and if you’re not interested in it, it seems unnecessary to force yourself into something for the sake of other people’s expectations 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I don't think that it is something wrong. Pression of society might be huge, yes but we don't have to do it if we don't want it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gymgirl Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Why should that be wrong? Who is entitled to decide whether you should have intercourse or not? Personally I think it is quite natural, sex is grotesquely overrated and it is only reasonable to avoid it as far as possible. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IceBox Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 From my general experience, sex fucks people over a whole lot. I rarely see any truly great lives from people who have sex as a result of said sex drive - its mostly the opposite. As far as Im concerned, its a destructive urge that people have that gets them into trouble, and thats exactly why Im glad I dont have it. Now if only that pesky romanticism could get curbed... Dont sweat virginity, its only viewed as a bad thing because of our hypersexualized society. Depending on your odds, Id personally say you might be lucky to stay a virgin as an asexual!

griffinej5 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 If it’s wrong, well... shit. I’ll be 34 in 2 months. However, I’ve never seen it as wanting to be a virgin. I’m not out there horny for it but saying no for the sake of purity or something. I simply have no interest in having sex except for a brief period of curiosity where I thought maybe if I’d try it I’d like it, or I had to really try it to know I didn’t want it.

A lot of people would like to do it but can't because of the (unnecessarily) strict screening involved. Good luck if you're a single male, for instance. Regardless, I'm pretty sure most people that want kids but don't want sex have at least considered adoption and weighed the choice accordingly. I think if you're single period then its pretty hard to adopt. Many people feel that you need to have 2 parents in your life for the child to be properly cared for. I know that chick from My Big Fat Life or something like that wanted to adopt a little girl from Korea and not only did they comment on the fact that she was not married but told her she was too overweight and she's a woman who was trying to adopt. So its not just men they look at for such things. Also the process of adopting can take up to 2 to 3 years maybe even longer from what I understand probably between all the background checks, along side this, that and the third. That makes it hard for both parties, the ones trying to adopt and the ones trying to put the child up for adoption. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katinthehat Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 According to one of the doctors I saw on base it's a big deal. 🙄 She asked me when my last pap smear was done, I said, "Never." When she asked me why, I told her I've never been sexually active before. I was 25 at the time. That look of shock and bewilderment has been burned into my memory ever since. I'm indifferent to sex, so I don't care whether or not I lose my virginity at some point. If I get curious someday and I find someone, sure, why not. Also, f*ck speculums. They're awkward and they hurt like hell because I can't relax enough. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
goat cheese Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Absolutely not! Sex is always optional. I'm an only child, but my folks will Never get grandkids! lol If my mom wanted grandkids, she should have had more kids than just me! THEY probably would have brought her grandkids. Sorry Mom. If it's all on me to bring you grandkids then you ain't getting any, EVER. Sex is of the Devil! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

After submitting to pap smears as a virgin, I finally had one medical professional tell me that they weren't necessary for virgins, so I stopped. I'm sorry the doctor reacted that way to you. I am 43 and a virgin, and will be a virgin for life. So I guess I'm in the freak club too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Karst Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 There's nothing intrinsically wrong with either having sex or not having sex. Just make sure that, in doing so, you treat others as you would want to be treated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SithAzathoth WinterDragon Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 No, not at all wrong with wanting to die a virgin. I'll never be sexual on any level with anyone, and never have.

acematt Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 By all means stay a virgin if that is your heart's desire. Nothing wrong with that at all. I'm sure many people who have had sex deeply regretted it because of the repercussions involved and wished they had stayed a virgin. Be proud of it and embrace it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
