Do you at least masturbate? I do not need sex to make me happy, I can masturbate! Screw society and peer pressure.

I am 20 years old about to hit 21 and am still a virgin. What is the point of the said statement?

Well to an avg-dimwitted tool, I would be considered a "loser."
Is this a valid assumption?

Society puts a lot of pressure, especially on pre-teens, on the idea of you must have sex else you are just a loser. They portray that you can't achieve a fulfilling happy life without and everybody is doing it and it is easy as 1,2,3.Despite there being studies showing both men and women who have engaged in sexual activity despite not wanting to or feeling "ready."

I do wish someday to experience it (ultimately to have kids and raise a family) however I do feel that people are raising the point up too frequently and giving it too much value. Is it really something that should be highly regarded where if you fail to achieve such feat then you are looked down upon?

discuss??

edit:
I am not a religious person. I raised the point just for curiosity sake.

However if you are asking whether I am religious or not due to my virginity then no. I am a virgin just because fate has not allowed to experience it...but that is not the point

edit 2:
I did not state nor do I "value" virginity highly.
I am asking if sex topic, in general, is over valued in society.
This topic ties to a lot of other things. It connects to the problems little girls with social images of you have to have a 32C boobs and have slim slender body else you are not socially acceptable. It connects to "porn" addiction with the arise of the internet. Which also connects to people have super high expectation of what sex should be (i.e threesome is not as prominent as people think)
etc...

understand now?

American society is deeply misogynistic and hence they enjoy claiming the domination of women through sex and other means as medals of pride and masculinity.

It's not that virgins are shunned because they haven't had sex (if you really wanted sex you could just pay a hooker for a one night stand--but people will look down on you for that) the reason virgins are shunned is because they haven't dominated a woman. A male who has a girlfriend that he has sex with regularly is considered pussy-whipped if he is accommodating and on equal terms with the woman and hence he is equally shunned as the virgin.

So to answer your question, it is not the sex that matters--it is the misogyny that matters to society.

Its really easy to make silly posts like this before you've had sex. 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.

i think of it this way: Society says no to it. Peer Pressure says yes to it. All (most) Parents say Wait. Most Kids say Hurry. Its pure choice, which i have chosen to have the (balls) (no pun intended XDXDXD) to remain a virgin. But again its choice.

I've always had the following view on sex: Save it till you meet your wife and it will be a million times more satisfying than it would be just hooking up with some random girls.


Or he has been tempted just like everyone else, but has the self-control to make the smarter choice.
