7. No, this is the absolute truth.
Edited on Sun Aug-17-03 04:04 AM by Ladyhawk
I am a woman and I will be thirty-six on the 19th and I've never had vaginal intercourse. The honest reasons are a bit deeper (um, that sounds kinky in light of the current topic) than the one I gave above. I was looking at all the "I'm a ___________. Ask me anything" posts and this is one true thing about me that I figured would get a reaction. :D That and the whole atheist thing, but that's another post.

"Virgin atheist ex-Republicans who suffer from severe treatment-resistant Depression...on the next Jerry Springer."

Oh, the real reasons?

1. Sexual molestation at age 8 (church-related)
2. Strict fundamentalist Christian upbringing in which sex was portrayed as evil
3. Possibly the Depression, too

I have no real desire for sex. Mostly I crave intimacy on a intellectual and emotional level. One guy in the last forum I was on kept telling me all I had to do to cure every problem in my life was do the horizontal bop. :) I found that amusing. Of course, most of his posts concerned graphic details of the horizontal bop...

12. If you want to then you need to
take hormones like my wife does. She had a total hysterectomy about 6 months ago. She has no desire most of the time but with the hormones I can at last get my once or sometimes twice a week fun in. We've been together 14 years. We are in our mid 40's. I'm still real horny. Hormones for women does help a lot..........bearfan454

16. If you're only 36
how could the Depression have influenced you in remaining a virgin? It ended in 1941 with out entry into the war. If you are 36 you wouldn't have been around until 1967 or so. What am I missing?:dunce:

17. Have you tried sex therapy?
They can get you past all the hang ups you have about sex. I know it will be difficult at first when you try to have sex, but it'll get easier, especially if you love and respect the person you're having sex with, and if they understand what happened to you at a young age. My cousin was raped at age 9 by her stepfather , my uncle. (My mom's sister married my dad's brother before my parents married. It's a big long crap hole I won't bore you with.) She's now a lesbian, poor, very unconventional, and he robbed her of her dreams. She has talent with a camera and the written word like you wouldn't believe, but she's stuck in a really bad assistant manager's position and doesn't beleive she's worth anything. I've seen what molestation can do, from watching her life unfold, and I don't know anything about you, ladyhawk, but I hope that creep didn't keep you from following what you wanted to do with your life. I urge you not to let that bastard win. There is still someone out there just for you. Sex is not evil. I was raised in a very similar home with a very prude mother. (The first time I said Penis in a proper way, I got my face slapped.) I understand that too. She freaked when she found out my boyfriend and i had been doing the horizontal bop, as you called it. Good luck, Ladyhawk. Hope you find some joy in the pleasures of sex.

18. It takes courage to admit that publicly.
And you're far from alone, if not in the majority. I have a friend who's a virgin at 30-odd years of age, for similar reasons; and my late uncle was one until he married at 31.

28. Aw Hell, Get Thee To Blowfish or Xandria
They can't try to order you around.

They can't mess up the plumbing in the act of fixing it.

It's a relatively small, undemanding investment.

24. Does it bother you when people criticize your choices?
I've been in a similar similar, even though I've never been "molested" and I grew up in a rather bohemian household where sex was not taboo, just another natural function where it wasn't polite to be do in public where it would scare the horses and scandlize crochety little old aunts and uncles...

I'm one of those who would rather have a shower massage set on "who needs a man" than "just have sex" without the love and respect connections. It just doesn't feel real without those
connections - but then, I'm also an empath, and if someone's close enough to me to have sex without those connections, it's not a pleasant feeling.

I've used a shower massage, good chocolate, and romance novels since I was 18 to give myself those little lifts. After all, the brain is the most sexual organ you have.

BTW, I was a virgin until I was 27 - and if it weren't for that one time when a bunch of "friends" did everything in their power to convice me that it would be "good for me" (the outset of which just ended up causing more confusion and depression at that time), I'd probably still have been a virgin when I finally married my best friend and lover last year - at the age of 42.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with exploration and everyone has their own level of comfort and readiness when it comes to sex with others; I believe everyone should be able to approach sex at their own time and in their own manner without coersion or shame.

Haele

27. Only one guy ever "turned me on"
and it was one of those silly circumstances that will never repeat itself. And no, we didn't "do it."

I met him on a whale watching boat and for some reason fell madly in love with him. Perhaps I'd seen Titanic one too many times. Anyway, he went home to New York. I e-mailed him a few times. He e-mailed me back a few times. I learned he already had a fiancee. I wanted to crawl into a hole and slit my wrists.

I've never felt that attracted to anyone before. I've never felt that attracted to anyone since. It could be that most the guys around here think that to attract girls they have to be macho rednecks. Barf.

31. I really just don't care. Period.
Edited on Sun Aug-17-03 04:52 PM by Ladyhawk
I got another message that suggested I need to do the horizontal bop in order to solve all my problems.

Message to sex-crazed men who just don't "get it": Unlike you, I don't think of sex every three to five minutes. I hardly think of sex at all...maybe once every few months. I don't crave it. I don't care if I ever have sex. It isn't important to me. Really.

I mean, can't you tell? I'm a 36-year-old virgin for chrissakes.

I've been told so often that it should be important to me that at times I've believed it. But the truth is, I just don't care.

How would you feel if someone with a craving for ball park hot dogs told you that all you had to do to solve your problems was start eating hot dogs? That other person may not be able to get enough of them, but me? I don't care for hot dogs. I don't crave them. I just don't give a shit.

32. Well, I can tell you from personal experience....

Doing the Horizontal Bop will *not* solve all your problems! In fact, it can sometimes add to them.
