Is it normal to be a virgin at 19?

I am a 19 year old male who hs never had a girlfriend or had sex before, I often feel left out, or that I am missing out, after hearing "sex chat" from other people of both genders. It is really hard to say you have not had sex in front of people because they might be horrid and say something really insensitive, especially if the are an over masculated male who thinks they are hard.

I am glad I am sensible and do not flaunt myself around, I am waiting for the right girl to come. I feel Man Talk has nothing to be desired, often hearing stories of men sleeping with one girl after the other is disrespectful to women everywhere.

    You are totally right, and you're one of the good guys. That kind of talk is disrespectful to both people, because it denies them each the real, loving connection that sex is meant to be. By using and abusing each other like objects, neither person has anything to brag about.

    Good for you for sticking to your views and being true to yourself. For that, your experience will be so much better in the long run - and you'll find yourself in a truly healthy, happy relationship with a girl you can spend your whole life with.

    There is nothing wrong with still being a virgin at 19 , you just haven't found the right person yet but when you do find that special person who you will spend your life with then you will lose your virginity , I think it is good that you still have your virginity as may young people nowadays lose it really young to some random person who they don't really love , where as I believe that you should wait until you are with someone you trust and decide to spend all your life with even if that may mean you don't lose your virginity until you are like in your 20s , its up to you when you lose it not anyone else. Just lose your virginity when you want to and don't let anyone pressure you its your decision. Just remember that there isn't many guys that wait until they have found the right girl , that's what makes you better then all the others.

    Peter, your virginity is a gift and it should be treated as such. There is nothing wrong with being a virign at the age 19. If every one had control over their sexualtiy than we wouldn't have so many broken and messed up people as welll as abortions and divorces. You should be proud of yourself for waiting on that one right person. You know that when you have sex - it is more than just a physical thing it is a spiritual and emotional connection as well. You don't want someone elses leftovers and you surely don't want to give that special someone your leftovers (meaning how many girlfriends you have had sex with). Your significant other deserves the best and they want the best, not someone who has slept with so many others before you.

    Yes u shouldn't lose it until at least mid 20s. Some kids lose it at ages like 15 16 years old some even 12, 13, and 14 and that's not good. So wait ur still young. I mean u just got out of hs.

    You're saying that you don't know if you're normal. You're also saying that you have your reasons for the choices you've made. You don't respect men who don't respect women. Without statistics at hand, I can't say what most people are up to these days, but there are a lot of liars out there, so I reckon there are more people like you than you realize. I was a virgin 'til I was 21. Why? Sex and alcohol entered my life at the same time.

    Its nothing wrong with that. I didnt loose mine till i was 20. There is no rush in having sex. Dont be pushed by TV, movies, friends. I felt the same way but i didnt let it bother me. Just live you life and make the best of it. Who cares what others think. You are not alone either, many people say they have but could just be making up stories to impress fake people

    Completely Normal!

    To be honest most men that talk about their sex with women, 100s of women, are probably lying. Don't compare yourself to anyone!

    When it happen it will happens, a girl will respect you a lot more if she knows you have waited for the right time/right girl.

    Firstly: Congrats man. Nice to know there are still sensible guys out there.

    Remember a lot of your mates will only be boasting. Most will not have slept with nearly as many girls, if any, than they say.

    Stick to your guns and don't be browbeaten into something you are not comfortable with. It will be better when you do find that special some-one.

    Good luck.

    Firstly, I think you sound like a top-notch bloke who would make the right girl very happy indeed.

    Secondly, bullsh!t is rife among guys your age about their 'sexploits' so I wouldn't take what they say too seriously. Don't let it bother you and wait til you're in the right place to start that aspect of your life. :)
