How old is too old?

What I am asking is this: do you believe that someone can reach an age where it is no longer normal to be a virgin? If so, when?

Also since the topic is heading this direction anyway, lets introduce a second qustion: Is it even worth worrying about? Is there really anything special about your viginity? Is there any reason to wait for "true love" or whatever?

An age where you're too old? Rather hard to define, simply doe to other factors that may have played into such a status. Physical health, mental health, family issues, religious doctrine (even if your not religious), being a chicken-shit...all are common factors for being an "older virgin". You also need to factor in how often you date, your quality of dates, etc.

While I'm not using this age as a cut-off point, if you hit 30 and you haven't had some form of sexual contact, then you should take a step back and evaluate yourself and the reason(s) you haven't.

Some guys aren't the 'wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am' types; they want something lasting. And that's fine. But you'd still need to take a look at yourself and confirm that the decisions you're making are the ones that are making you happy.

But as far as worrying about? Bah. When the time comes you'll know it. It might be a good decision, it might be a bad one. Regardless, you'll know when.

As far as waiting for your "True Love"...that's a lofty expectation that many never find, if the divorce rate in America is any indication. That doesn't mean you should settle; that means you need to find your own happiness.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
