I feel pressured to lose my virginity. Any advice?

This is totally up to you. You should never feel pressured when it comes to things like this, because you'll know when it feels right for you. It feels like everybody is doing it, but trust me, there are plenty of people who aren't yet, you're not alone =) and finding a virgin guy may be a little trickier, as it narrows down your group of guys to choose from significantly, but they are out there. (at least if he had done it before, then the first time would probably be less awkward than if neither of you had, i suppose). best of luck!

There's nothing wrong with being an eighteen-year-old virgin. You should have sex when you want to and not before. If someone is giving you **** about it, then forget about them because they're a loser anyway. PLENTY of people, both men and women, are still virgins when they're eighteen. It's not really anyone's business except yours - it's YOUR body and YOUR decision. Don't be ashamed that you maintain control of your body and your sexuality. And don't have sex with someone just because you feel like you should. Sex should be fun and something you want to do. And despite what many other commenters will no doubt say, masturbation is perfectly OK if you have a healthy sex drive and no one to share it with. College is an easy to place to meet people, so date around, make new friends and let things happen. Don't stress about it and most importantly, don't beat yourself up over having or not having sex. The most important thing is to make good and healthy choices.

I was in exactly the same position as you. I felt incredibly pressured, and like a total freak. Like you, I'm definitely not ugly, but I felt like the fact that I was a virgin somehow meant that I was unattractive. Not true. There were tons of guys I could have lost it to before I did, but I was waiting for it to be right (which, for me, meant a guy I cared about and trusted.) I ended up losing it at 20, to a guy I'd been dating for a few weeks. He was 24, and we ended up breaking up a month or two later, but I have absolutely zero regrets. I He was a sweet guy, he knew I was a virgin, and was willing to wait until i was ready. I know that if I had lost it sooner, I probably would have regretted it, because none of the guys I had dated before him were 'right'. And if he wasn't the right guy I wouldn't have slept with him, I would have continued to wait. Don't rush, it will happen when it's supposed to happen, but don;t worry so much about the guy having to be a virign. Honestly, it's going to be a lot more comfortable for you if he isn't lol. Find a boy your tust and care about and want to give your virginity to, because you can't take it back once you've done it. Oh, and as a sidenote, the guy I lost my virginity to lost his at 22, almost 23. I don't know why, he's a really sweet, cool guy and a total hottie, but like us, it just didn't happen for him until then. it's not as uncommon as you might think, there are probably LOTS of people at your school who are still virgins, they just don't talk about it.

Don't stress, hun. it will happen when it's supposed to.
