I see a lot of people saying it’s “okay” to be a virgin at 22, or if you’re 22 and have never been in a relationship, it’s “okay.” But it really isn’t. Most people lose their virginity when they’re teens, and most people get into their first relationships in high school. So if there’s a 22-year-old out there who’s still single, never been in a relationship, and is a virgin, they’re an outlier. They’re an anomaly, and it is something to feel bad and shameful about. It’s like never getting your driver’s license until you’re 21 or something. But it’s okay to feel bad and shameful—this can motivate you to make better decisions in life.
If you’re <= 22 and writing this, are you ok?
If you’re > 22 and writing this, everyone is on their own journey. They may just prefer being single, and that’s totally ok. They may also not respond to negative comments. Instead, they might need someone to encourage their confidence.
If you’re >22 and you’re wasting brain-cycles on what age people are losing their virginity at, perhaps you need a bit of introspection.
As a side note to this I didn’t meet me partner until I was 26. And honestly I’m glad. Enjoy your life. Its hard to see that from the other side but its fine but you should be ready to settle down before you do.
Also the idea that meeting your partner is this single point in time you have to hit by 22 is rediculous. Relationships are a journey. Even if you met you’re partner at 22, chances are by 33 you will have grown as people. I think it’s more of an escelator you hop on at any age, if you desire a romantic relationship.
Like I said, most people love their virginity before that age. If you are a 25-year-old man who’s a virgin, no woman who’s 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 or 31 years old will want to date you because they don’t want to date a virgin, and that goes for most adult men and women who have sexual experience.
No woman at all? None? Do you have a source of that? Is there a survey you can point to? Do believe that there are no women in that age range who also lack sexual experience?
I know for a fact that there are a lot of adult men who look for a lack of experience in their partners. There is a smaller number of women who look for the same, but they are out there. Actually, my own first experience was with someone who called herself a virgin hunter. It turns out she preferred virgins because she was bad at sex, but that’s beside the point.
