How Important Is Your Virginity?

basically im 17 (18 in a month) and still a virgin and i just feel like crap! its not so much i feel i have 2 keep up with my friends, because i already tell them i lost it last yr at college and they all believe me, its more me personal feeling inadequate as a woman...

i met a man a few weeks back and i really like him and he likes me and even though i know he only wants me for sex (he says he doesnt but im a virgin not a idiot) and im seriously considering doing it with him... ive read alot of things about boys losing there virginity to a prostitute so what is the difference if i don't lose it to somebody i really love or loves me?

im not asking this for you all to do NOO don't do it. im asking because as i don't know the emotion connection i keep hearing about im wondering will i be able to cope after wards. also he lives in a diffrent town so if it doesnt work out at least i'll never have to see him again...

    I think significant prior experience with everything-but would make it less likely to become attached inappropriately to your first, since he most likely wouldn't give you the first orgasm you've experienced with someone else.

    However, I wouldn't do it unless he's honestly interested in making the experience pleasurable for you, and not just adding a "safety seal" notch on his bedpost.

    And speaking of safety, use a condom. No ifs, ands or buts.

    Best of luck!

    Virginity is not a big deal. It doesn't have any use and it doesn't matter if you have it or not. But you aren't old to be a virgin, I'm 18 and I lost mine about a month ago. There's nothing wrong with you as a woman, you aren't inadequate or anything. You've got this guy who obviously wants to have sex with you, it's not like you couldn't lose your virginity if you really wanted to. The more important part is do you really like him? Forget about being a virgin, if you weren't worried about that, would you really want to be with this guy? He doesn't sound like he respects you a lot, and you don't seem to think that much of him. You're flattered by his attention, but if you were feeling a bit more confident about how attractive you are, would you go for him?

    I suggest you wait until you find a guy who actually wants a relationship. Not because he's more worthy of taking your virginity or anything, but because some guy sleeping with you and abandoning you is upsetting no matter how experienced you are.
