Want to lose virginity, what to do?

I am 23, almost 24 and want to lose my virginity. I don't have a boyfriend and do not know how much longer I can hold out, I don't want to have sex with just anyone because I am quite sure I will get emotionally attached, and being by myself is just not much fun. What should I do to calm myself from this feeling because I am not going to get any younger and do not want to wait.

    This feeling can be extremly dangerous. BE CAREFUL!! Men will do anything to get at you...especially because you are a virgin. BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE. For the sake of yourself...respect yourself, and continue to be who you are, and wait for the one who is worthy..

    I would rethink your question. Why do you want to lose your virginity? I think waiting is great. I would wait until I found someone I truly trusted, loved, cared about, respected, admired, and was involved in a meaningful relationship with. I am 27 and have been with a handful of girls/women (not at the same time of course). I wish I could remove all but one of those people from the list. They were either drunken encounters, meaningless college "relationships", or just plain poor judgment on my part. My advice to you is meet lots of people and find the right one before jumping into anything. Meeting an abundance of people in a short time period will expedite the process of finding that right person. You may even find someone you can be with for a long time.

    If you really cannot wait I would talk to a good guy friend whom you do trust about possible having sex with you. It may be weird, but at least it will not be with a random guy and you know the guy will treat you right. Good luck.

    Sounds like ur getting the "I won't be able to make babies forever" syndrome. Just tell yourself that you are a woman in your 20's and this is just what you are supposed to do. Have some fun while you're young. =o)

    I get emotionally attached quite easily also, so I understand what you are feeling. The best line I've heard that might help you is "Sex is not love, sex is sex." And although you should never pressure yourself to do anything you don't want to do, if you truely want this it will happen. Some day some guy will sweep you off your feet, and perhaps your virginity could be the most beautiful gift you could give him. Hope this helps.

    I am a little confused as to what your priority is. There is a difference between wanting to lose your virginity because you are feeling too old to be a virgin and struggling with a strong desire for sex.

    If you want to lose your virginity because the clock is ticking, I encourage you to hold on until marriage. You still have something invaluable to offer, you should hold onto it and recognize how special this is.

    If, on the other hand, your desire for sex is just off the charts and you're full of impatience, then it seems like you need some more interests in your life to make your life full and whole. Pursue a passion, learning how to do something new, take up some new hobbies, find new places to make friends, get out there and balance out your desire for sex with your desires for other aspects of life. Create a full life for yourself that gives you other priorities than sex.

    Hang in there.

    Well.. Before you can have sex you need to first find a guy that you are intrested in. Someone that you feel is good enough and someone who you like/love enough to give your virginity to. Your virginity is something extra special. It shouldn't be given to just anyone.. ya know? Know that whoever you chose to give your virginity to will be remembered in your mind for the rest of your life.. Everyone remembers their first time. The rest after just kinda fade away. But your first time will be embedded in your mind and heart forever. So you want to chose someone that you don't mind remembering years and years from now. Ofcoarse it is great to wait until you find someone that you'd like to marry or wait until marriage. But this is 2007 and that is just.. well.. Hard to do.

    So try to find someone special that you like alot. Someone sweet and thoughtful. Someone you wont care to remember for the rest of your life.

    Oh and don't be in a rush. Sure sex is better then great sometimes. But it is better then better then great if it is with the right person.

    Good luck to you

    Don't be in such a hurry. I was young when I lost mine and now that I am a bit older I realize that I would have rather waited. You don't want to look back and have any regrets.

    And if you are stating that you want to lose your virginity, even if you think you don't want to have sex with just anyone, you ay end up making a mistake.

    Sorry to be blunt but They make nice toys that can tide you over until you find a guy that you love.

    Losing your virginity is not all that it's cracked up to be. Your first time is likely to be a bit painful and it really helps to have your first experience with someone you love and trust. Don't try to emotionally detach yourself and have sex with someone who you have no feelings for. Before deciding to go down that road just because you may feel like it's about time in your life, try masturbating instead. Get to know your body and how you like to be touched and where. A good place to start would be to purchase a regular messaging vibrator. Explore you body and the sexual feelings you can evoke in yourself.

    My opinion is that if you have a male friend that you trust and respect explain the situation to him. Tell him no strings attached (this will only work if you REALLY mean no strings attached) and have fun.

    If he declines be cool and just move on and find a guy that will be with you. If you are truly desperate act very flirty find a guy at a bar and have a one night stand. Otherwise just wait for it it'll come....:)

    you are still young, i'm 23 too, and i'm still virgin, i had boyfriensds before,but i have never had sex with anyone of them, because i don't think it's the right time yet, and i don't want to be only a memory for someone, or an experience in somebody's life, i want to full in love then to get engaged and to get married with my beloved one, then sex will be safe and sweet, and i won't have to worry of pregnancy or deseases....

    just enjoy your life, see how many beautiful things you have in your life, do sport, read, travel, and try to find the right persoin becaus efinaly every girl need a man, and every man need a woman, we can not live alone!

    just put the emotions before the sex....

    this could be a mushy undertaking for me. I on no account even had an threat to lose it till i grow to be 21, and finally did at 22. It wasn't plenty that i had to, yet I resent that I on no account had a decision approximately it. exceedingly for the reason that human beings in my age group (those that grew up interior the '80s) supposedly grew up in a decadent era.

    Sex is overrated, Just do it and if you must wait for some personal reason, then engage in self-pleasuring, That is what I had to do when I finally lost mine at 22 because i wanted to wait for marriage. Yawn
