Well, this is one of those questions that never seems to have a right or wrong answer, just assholes (erm, opinions.) I had sex at 16, and don't regret it. I've had my share of partners, and don't regret that either. I don't think my girl and I feel some sense of loss because we weren't each other's first - in fact, she's told me once or twice she's glad I had a chance to learn how the hell it all works before we met, so that she could enjoy it. But, that's just my experiance. A few years ago, I dated a virgin. I dated her for almost two years, and I loved the hell out of her. She was also 18 (I was 23 or 24 at the time, I think.) It was frustrating as hell for me, though we certainly did quite a bit outside intercourse, but like you, she wanted to wait to be married - a large part of this was religious on her part. In the end, she ended up having sex with some guy she barely knew in a drunken 3-some. Obviously, this story could have gone several ways - she and I might have been married, and I'd have been her first. She might have married some other nice boy who was also a virgin. She also might have been raped in the back of a dark ally - and ended up hating sex the rest of her life. The point is, that there are always many, many different possibilities of the future. If you choose to not have sex, for whatever reason, you alone will be the one to benefit or suffer the consequences. If you're proud of waiting, and it makes you happy, then wait. If you're plain sick of it, but looking for a reason to stop waiting, you only have to look as far as the mirror. All the advice in the world will probably become useless, except the knowlege that you're the one who has to live with your choices. Personally, if I had waited 14 more years to have sex, I'd probably be in a looney bin by now. Life is yours to enjoy, however you want to enjoy it. Don't blame anyone else for your choices, and don't feel bad for enjoying the things you like. Good luck, Stephan
