28 Year Old Virgin - Female Help
Posted: 03-30-05 03:38am

[taken from my post in men section, but I would like to see if some women can help me understand]

hi,

after a long time I actually decided to talk about my issues with someone, so best place to start is a forum like this.

Let me explain my situation. I'm a 28 year old virgin and i'm having problems approaching women because of my "flaw" because I simply don't know how to handle sexual encounter.

I know that some people would think that I have serious psychological problems, but I think this is not the case. I am normal person, a bit overweight but all in all interesting and appealing to women. I'm fairly good looking and have no physical problems except for being somewhat overweight. It's funny how I can even sense interest in women for me but i'm afraid to pursue it any further then flirting.

For those who might ask how, in this society, this might happen, I would like to explain. When I was a kid, I was preoccupied with school, art and later technology and computers. Since I am the only child, I had the tendency to overwork myself trying to make my family proud and create something out of myself. Even though, socially very active, I missed out on a lot of things that young people my age did at that time (clubbing, going out with girls even drinking). I guess, I was saying my time will come and I should continue dedicating myself to career and that I will find someone who will be right for me over time.

Well this road eventually took me to being a very successful persona in life, however i'm afraid that I actually missed out on the most important thing in life.

Now, i'm a half a man, with somewhat lack of confidence approaching women, because I believe that any woman who would be even interested in me, would find me abnormal for not having any romantic/sexual experience as a man at my age. I also became less confident about my penis size (5.5"-6"), thinking that even if I somehow found the right person, I would be abandoned after that girl would lack satisfaction from me.

It's interesting how I can handle so many harder things in life but not one single fairly normal thing as having sex.

Now as time passes i'm seriously considering taking the easy route and just going to las vegas and having sex with a "professional" and several times at that, to try to learn more. I'm starting to think that i'm simply a very disturbed person and that this might be the only way to set myself free.

I want to get married one day, have kids and dedicate myself to family, but it seems that unless I do this, I wouldn't know how. I'm even starting to work on my body so hard, to get in top shape, hoping that this will also give me more confidence and success in making love with women.

If anyone can advise me on what I should do or if there's another way I can solve this problem I have, I would really appreciate it.

It's funny how I always believed that, it's better to have sex when you grow up, because you can understand it better, experience it with understanding of love, closeness to another person. But it seems that today, in our society, this is not the case any more and that i'm doomed to stay alone forever. It's all about good looks, one night stands, great lovers, big penises and breasts etc.

Well hope someone will be able to help me here.

Thanks for reading.

Its good that you are finally able to talk to people about your concerns. A lot of people are overweight and enjoy a perfectly normal sex life, because you were so dedicated to other things when you were younger you just need a new way of life and learn yourself to be the person you wana be. You need to have the confidence in yourself and love yourself if not you will only give off the wrong vibes to people. As for going to las vegas I would say that certainly the wrong thing to do. There will be someone out there ment for you! And when you do meet her it will be all the more special being able to remember your first time and smile rather than associate it with how you felt at the time. Sex isnt always only about looks one night stands etc but more about finding someone who you connect with in all areas. Sex can be worked at and is a learning experience for all ages, dont give up hope learn to love yourself and others will love you too. Try and gain some confidence in yourself not only physical but mentally also. Anyways I hope this helps you :)

Hello brother,

hopefully I can be some assistance here since I can half-relate to what you're talking about. For one, the going to vegas and getting a few rent-a-chick's... That's an option that is totally up to you. A friend of mine did the same thing, except he went to cancun and took a bunch of those girls. His objective was just to gain experience and gather some confidence. He's not a bad looking guy, and can acquire girls without problems. It looks like that was all he needed to finally get settled down. A year later he found his girlfriend and grew together with her.. They've been together for 4 years now. Mind you, she was a bit younger than he which does help offset the inexperience in most instances. Again, this is his experience.. But what you do should definately be your own choice.

One thing you must understand, and it's a difficult notion to accept is that most people don't run around having sex with everyone they meet, and that penis size is not the defining factor for sexual pleasure. Most single men learn about sex and sexuality from pornographic films, which is unfortunate as they really don't teach how to truly pleasure a woman, and they teach that image and size are what makes the man. In the real world, this does not apply to all women. The vast majority are concerned about actually having a healthy relationship. It's similar to the women-should-have-huge-breasts-and-tiny-bo dies syndrome which are portrayed on televison and again, pornographic films alike. Many women feel this is what men want, but the reality is.. Some men want it, but the majority are after something more fulfilling. Think about it.

You would likely make a better match with someone a little younger.. Say 22-24yrs old. This can be daunting, because you, like myself, are already settled in a stable career and it is difficult to relate in terms of lifestyle and life routines with someone in a different stage of life. There is nothing wrong with being shy to pick up women, many men are, including myself. This has never stopped me from attaining girls in the past though. Sometimes situations arise, you just have to provide a little initiation. You can also always consider the personals sites, dating sites, etc. And lastly, due to realationship and sexual inexperience you might be best off with a church-girl.

Hope this helps,
justin

thanks everyone especially justin. I feel much better now. I think I should primarily work on my self-confidence and try to relax. I think it's going to be an interesting year for me. A year of revelation :)

twentyone, thanks for your reply. You see I don't really want to do it with a "professional" as I stated, however I think that since this encounter might be the easiest one for me to finally jump that step. I think that i'm old enough for it not to leave any emotional scars but only to allow me to fill this void in my life and get that self confidence and some experience that the girl I would really care about would enjoy. I think at this point in my life my problem approaching women is more because of the embarrassment for not being experienced than anything else.

Not all girls would appreciate a hot shot guy who says all the right things and has all the right moves. Those guys are harder to trust. We think "is what he is saying really real or is it just to get me to like him or to bed????" sometimes just a sweet honest friendly guy is way more pleasurable to be with.

badsal, I know about what you're saying, but it seems that even though i'm truly honest and would love a woman that i'm with and come from a full family with moral values, it seems that good guys always finish last. A sweet honest friendly guy will in most cases, as in my experience, be just a friend and someone to talk to and the "bad" guys will be the ones that women make "mistakes" with, if you know what I mean. I just don't know. I guess there's a fine line between bad and good.

So what would you rather be- the guy who girls make mistakes with; or a loving husband with a wonderful family with the girl of your dreams (once you find her)????

Have you seen the movie "picture perfect" with kevin bacon and jennifer aniston? It's cute. It has the "bad" boy and the "nice" boy.
