When we met I was 26 and had had 4 partners previously (so almost one a year). You are right that there is a certain amount of peer expectations that you have sex in your teens, but this "expectation" is not a requirement, nor do people make a big issue out of it (unless they are trying to be mean deliberately). We do live in a heavily sexualized society. My advice (for what it's worth) Just go with the flow, don't look desperate for it and be yourself. "Life" will find a way and unless you are a complete tosser, hideously disfigured or COMPLETELY socially inept, it will happen when it happens. The key is not to want it too hard, but be receptive to it when a girl does show interest. Dont be afraid to talk to girls, but don't make everything about sex and you will do fine. | ||

Yet sex is amazing, and though I wouldn't have sex with a stranger, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having sex with an individual you have strong feelings for even though you are not convinced you will spend the rest of your life with them. Sex is very intimate. | ||

As far as societal value, it's hard for me to define just how much it is valued, but looking at it from a evolutionary perspective, sex is in essence a necessary condition for a population's continued survival, at least genetically, so even biologically, it seems to be of pretty high importance. | ||

You cannot have a healthy relationship without good sex. If you are not having sex, what you have is a friendship, and nothing more. Period. | ||

You will not question the importance of a healthy and good sex life when you've experienced one. You cannot have a healthy relationship without good sex. If you are not having sex, what you have is a friendship, and nothing more. Period. What is unhealthy about friendships? | ||

Nothing is unhealthy about a friendship, unless you're trying to pretend it is something more than it is. | ||

I mean I agree that society as a whole puts a lot of pressure on losing your virginity. Both from a "you're a loser if you're a virgin" to the "virginity is sacred and should be shared with your life partner". Fact is sex is a biological thing, nothing more, nothing less. It can be an expression of love but doesn't have to be. But above all, sex is a private thing and I could give a f#ck about what other people think. My 2c. | ||
