Poll: How do you see virgins?

[Jonabob87]

Whether or not someone's a virgin shouldn't have any effect on how you view them as a person. Some people choose not to have sex for reasons of belief, some people want it to be special for them, some people just can't get any.

None of these give any adequate reason to look up to or look down on someone.

 

[TheDarkestDerp]

I view them as someone who has not had sex. Their reason is their own, I'm not going to judge them one way or another.

This.

And besides which, unless they're wanting to have sex with me, I really can't see how it's any of my business.

 

[Lord_Ascendant]

Delicious, if you cook them right.

I'd agree, but babies are better for the health conscious....

People being virgins only touches a small part of them. Only an asshole would just someone only based on them being a virgin
<.<

this^ sex is a small part of life i don't understand why people obsess so heavily on it

 

[fingerbang143]

This is the most incredibly condescending post I have ever seen, it is implied that if they are under 19 and virgins they are just young and if they are over that then it is hard to say. The topic is simply to broad, one choice states that they are to pathetic to get any....So a 27 year old with down's syndrome can't get any because he is pathetic? or a paraplegic that hasn't lost his virginity is also a pathetic loser?

My view exactly. It is only one facet of their personality and does not define them in and of itself.

 

[Rekrul]

through a telescope....what?

Being a virgin is no big deal, didn't lose mine till I was almost 21, almost 24 now and she's the only girl I've been with. It doesn't bother me, and she likes it cos I have no one to compare her with

It's hard to formulate an opinion on virginity because of the hugely varied circumstances that can cause it to be the case. Someone can be a virgin for religeous reasons, victim of circumstance, hasn't found the right person, isn't ready yet, too shy, etc etc etc..

I don't see it as a bad thing if that is what you are asking, even at older ages, it's a personal choice. Someone telling me that they were a virgin would not change my opinion of them nor increase or decrease my likelyhood of having relations with them.

Religion? Good for you. If you want to wait, go for it
Besides, I have never found a member of the oppisite sex I can really trust

This is probably the biggest reason for me. I don't like to be intimate (in any form of relationship) unless I'm with someone I really trust. The problem is that there aren't a whole lot of people out there I'd trust that deeply to pursue a relationship.

Also, my religion sort of prohibits me from having a sexual relationship. I'm a very skeptical kind of person and I guess you can say my faith in religion is by far outweighed by my want of Reason. Another way to plainly say this is that I don't really believe, I'd rather know so the whole bit about me being prohibitted doesn't play much against me, trust however does.


Edit: Just to add to the conversation, what if the virgin was over 40 years old? How would your view be?

If you are young (<25ish) and waiting for someone you trust, you are very wise.

If you are 40, you are missing out on an important part of life.

As for religion... the religions with prohibitions against premarital sex also expected you to get married within a couple years of puberty, if not before. They would never dream someone could be 40 and unmarried and thus never intended that loss to your life.

Not all religions that practice prohibition of premarital sex expect one to get married within a few years of puberty. The religion that I was born into encourages marriage around the early 20s and when you have sex is completely up to you, as long as it's in wedlock.

People who don't cave to 'loose' something because some asshats think that if you're a virgin you're defective?

 

[SinisterGehe]

Since when sexual intercourse been defining characteristic?
I am a virgin for a simple reason, I just don't want to have sex, I don't really care for it, I can live without?
How does that change me as a person?
People have always thought I am a person who "gets some" - mainly because I get better along with women than with men. But I have never had, never though of it and most likely never will have.
IF that makes me worse of a man in your eyes, then you do not deserve my respect - you are sad and pathetic in my eyes, a animal that is driven by flesh - not by mind. And I do not spend time around animals.

Obviously this depends entirely on the person. I know a guy who's a rugged, 6"3 muscle-man who does parkour, is stupidly calm and gentle, and is the "strong silent type" and yet he's a virgin. Why? Because he wants to wait for 'the one'.

On the other hand, one of my closest friends has a picture of tits as his background for Windows and has never had sex.

There's an obvious difference here.

 

[googleback]

I'm 19 and still a virgin. I'm pretty schizo about it, sometimes I'm very frustrated about it but whenever I get into a posistion where random sex is an option i find myself really turned off. I'm pretty sure I only want to have sex with someone I want to spend time with, who cares about me too. But I think the frustration comes from not having found anyone like that yet. seriously. it fucking sucks being alone but the posistion i'm in right now financially kind of prohibits me from getting with anybody. I'm fucking broke basically and can barely look after myself. It fucking fucking sucks but honestly i'm ok with it, for now at least. there'll be time soon enough for love.

solution? go to uni and lower my standards I guess haha

 

[SinisterGehe]

Virgin by choice or nerds? Theres a big difference between the two.
The former? Good for them but they don't know what they're missing.
The latter? I pity you. (and they still don't know what they're missing).

So you saying the fact that; I do not want to have sex, by choice. Makes me a less experienced in life?
I ensure I know just as much about life than you do.

In my opinion, people who do have sex, don't know what they are missing by not having any - you'd be amazed how free my life is when I don't need to "worry" over such needs.

I think you are slightly bias towards sex, I think you see it as something that must be had - for whatever reason.
I assume you are sexually active and "experienced". Tell me, could you handle spending, let say - a year, with out sex or sexual pleasuring by another person. Are you mentally strong enough to do it? I am.


Nature happens to have this habit of replacing something that you don't have, with something else.

 

[DeleteThisAcc]

@Elcarsh bigo...what? Don't even know how to explain that to you... I would like wife that would not cheat on me - how much can I trust someone that lost virginity 13 years old?

@Archangel357: Yes you made a lot of sense in you reply to my post (seriously. And I agree that getting wife you newer had sex with is dangerous, but I was speaking about totally casual sex for fun only ). And yet woman that goes ant 'tries/has fun with' everyone... not trustworthy.

Anyway - being virgin is unpopular these days. And for "casual sex for fun"... Ugh... So cheap. Ofcourse do whatever you like - not my problem and I don't care.

To be first but not last, or to be last but not first... THAT'S a question.

 

[ImperialSunlight]

Everybody was a virgin at one point (unless you count being inside a woman at birth).

 

[game-lover]

I'm 22 and a virgin. I don't tend to think much of it except that oh, they'll probably have sex eventually. That's the general consensus. And why I picked the option.

But it depends on what age they are for me to have anything more. Maybe someone in high school is still a bit young and innocent. It's all very possible.

 

[DustyDrB]

Virgins are people too. I got laid pretty late (age 20, I'm 23 now). Whatever your reason for it is your own business. Even if you would prefer to be having sex, maybe you don't have much of a choice. Such was my situation before college. I grew up in a small town and most every girl I knew was either physically, emotionally, or intellectually unattractive. Some were all three...*shudder*.

Everybody was a virgin at one point (unless you count being inside a woman at birth).

Reminds me of a quote from a Titus Andronicus song
"You ain't never been no virgin, kid, you were fucked from the start"

 

[Faladorian]

If you wanna wait because of religion, sure that is fine but if you love the person or girlfriend or whatever and you cant wait, I find that religion shouldnt get in the way of sex because that is unfair to both people...

also I am one...and I aint got no problem and im just waiting until I find "The one" (cheesy I know >_<) and then I dont care about relgion or anyhing that gets in the way of our love...

I think you and my ex-girlfriend really need to have a talk lol. Honestly I love this set of ideals.

OT: Nothing wrong with it. In fact, I prefer it in people. Maybe it's just me, but I feel weird being around people who have had sex... maybe I'm just a prude, but when people talk to me about their sex life it's incredibly awkward and I can never view them the same way.

 

[Myskomunken]

Theyre just like everyone else. Some people dont want to have sex, for whatever reason. The rest of us should respect that and let people do whatever they want with their lives.
