Oh and as to the main thing, 31, virgin, intending to remain so until my wedding night, I don't remember the rest of the questions. .

May I ask why?

I used to want to remain a virgin until my wedding night, but I got involved with a guy and hormones prevented that from happening. My "I just wanna be a good little Christian girl" self was completely destroyed when that relationship broke apart, cause I figured it would be okay if I eventually married the guy, right? I was told my whole life that having premarital sex would be the worst decision of your life. I thought I was broken or damaged and that no one could ever love me again because I had had sex with another guy. I felt soiled and dirty.

Then I got over it and realized how incredibly stupid that was and how insanely messed up my religion caused me to be.

If it's not autism and your legs work then you can go to a book club or something. Even if it is autism.


vvv Toastie is a real word, unlike all those other words. And makes sense because it is short for toasted sandwich. But Grilled cheese is not necessarily grilled and does not only necessarily have cheese, which is silly. I'm so mad about words.

I'm not an adult virgin myself, but I do have a close friend who is 29 years old and has never gone "balls deep". He has deep issues resulting from it, about himself and women. It's a sad thing. I've reccomended therapy and hookers to him, but, you know how depressed folks are; they have a tendency to want to wallow in their own sorrow. It feels like home.

I've noticed that the girls he approaches, "crushes on", and ultimately is dissapointed by, are uniformly way out of his league. Mine too, to be honest. This seems like a pretty persistent adult virgin phenomenon, at least going by this thread. I wonder if this stems from unrealistic self-image and resulting desires, or is it a self-defeating act, i.e., only go for the ones you know will reject you?

Thanks for sharing everyone, I find this thread perversely interesting and hilarious.

Twisty I don't think he was amused by depressed people at the end, but amused by some of the weird stuff like that forty-something dude uncomfortably hitting on that 18-year-old girl from way back.

I'm guessing it's mostly self-defeating, or I'd call it self-sabotaging. If you're deeply afraid of intimacy, it's safer to obsess over a totally unattainable person then to actually put yourself out there and look for a partner that might actually reciprocate your interest. Or to just never put yourself out there because then you can never be rejected.

On a related note, so many guys with extreme social anxiety and depression will talk about how all the girls they meet on okcupid are "crazy." They seem to have a fantasy that this sexy, well-adjusted woman will come along and solve all their problems. I'm not sure if these guys don't see the irony and truly think that they aren't also crazy and out of shape. I guess it's just easier to call all the girls crazy, gold-digging bitches. Honestly, if you have a lot of issues, someone who has experienced similar things is probably going to be more understanding and have more in common with you.

Basically, being a virgin isn't the end of the world but if you feel like it is, make it a goal to have sex. At least you can say you've done it and can stop getting hung up on the label.

Depressed people by no means enjoy being depressed. Shame on you for being amused by this.

In my case I was feeling like I finally had a decent handle on it and was in a good position to shoot for something mutually appreciable which systematically blew up in my face and left me in an even worse depression with more trust issues. No, it's not something I enjoy on any conscious level, but this is the sort of state I've been used to for about a decade. While it may be true, now more than ever, that I'll ultimately end up more damaged remaining like this, the prospect of venturing outside of my comfort zone, that being roughly the zone of my depression now, is continually less appealing.

I did actually make another net friend in the immediate wake of the fallout which probably wouldn't have happened otherwise, and neat as that is I just as soon would never have known any of those people existed in the first place given the whole thing set back the last 8 or so years of any improvement in my mental state.

So yeah, it kind of feels like home.

It sucks to have trust issues and sex issues. I think you should try to separate them for the time being and just have a one night stand. Although I think intimacy makes sex way better, you don't want to put all of your expectations about sex and intimacy and relationships on one person. It's going to be way easier to start a real relationship with a woman if you aren't obsessing over your virginity.

To be fair I've worked with a 12 yo kid who had autism and was non verbal. He hid under the bed and shrieked for like 45 minutes straight. His ability to form relationships is incredibly limited. Most people here have a much more moderate form of ASD though and can probably have sex and fufilling relationships.

I started typing up a rebuttal, but half a sentence into it I realized you could be right. When meeting someone my priorities list basically goes do they seem friendly, do they have anything in common with me at all, how do I get along with them in practice, sex being waaaay down near the end of the list (and 99% of the time I stop at point #2 anyway) -- but you could be right that I'm kind of obsessing over it in the back of my head along with the trust issues.

If you get married before being intimate with someone, it seems like there's a good chance you're going to lock yourself into a situation where you never get to experience a healthy sexual relationship in your life. To each their own I guess.

I guess a hot plate is probably your most versatile choice if you're only going to own one sad cooking device. Hot plate + toaster oven and you're gold.

And a wrap is not a sandwich. Please see the gbs open face sandwich thread for more information.

It's a terrible idea with literally no upsides because you have no idea if you're sexually compatible with that person. It's like waiting until marriage to have a conversation with somebody. You don't just get along with anybody. Also it's not the turn of millennium now, you're stuck with this sucker for like 50-60 years and that's a long assed time to be sexually unsatisfied.
