Virgin Territory

Well, I know that I'm about 7 years late, but if Dan isn't going to cover VT's questions, I guess I will.

1.The average penis is about six inches long erect.

2. This is a trickier question than the other two. If you are just fooling around with a guy and want to all of a sudden have some fun NSA sex, there are going to be problems. I know that I would feel bad about taking a virginity without being told first. If it is someone that you care about however, and he truly cares about you, it should be a pretty special time for him. Of course it's not going to be as fun and raunchy as if it looks in the pornos, but taking a virginity is a pretty special thing. If the guy really cares about you, he will make sure that everything is feeling okay, and that everyone is having a good time.

3.An erection can occur either because a man becomes aroused or just sorta randomly. It's pretty difficult to peg down an average for men in general, but I would guess that it is somewhere around 2-5 times daily (depending on whether or not there is someone/something around to arouse them.
No, it will not hurt a man not to have sex whenever he gets hard, but if he is getting his penis stimulated (by a hand, mouth, vagina, etc.) And it suddenly stops without him getting to finish, he will experience a phenomena commonly referred to as "blue balls". Though his balls will not literally turn blue, they will feel as if they are about to burst (they won't actually) and it will take some time before they start to feel better, unless the job is finished.

I'm not a virgin, Roswell, but I appreciate your willingness to try to answer the questions in good faith for others.

But Dan's answers were much funnier. I presume he suspected VT of being a time-waster.

being a 21 year old virgin myself i would just like to say that its pretty hard to describe just how nervewracking the 'losing it' idea is - at a stage where men look at you and expect you to at least have had one or two sexual partners and be reasonably experienced the idea of actually getting yourself into a situation where having sex is a possibility is really awkward.
what do you say? do?
it honestly puts me of having sex altogether. and im reasonably convinced that if or when i eventually DO have sex itll go to one extreme or the other: a really nice guy ive known for a while in a non-sexual sense eg, a friend who has decided im worth the trouble of awkwardly deflowering me. OR it'll be a really skanky one night stand and i wont even remember the guys name.
I guess its lucky for girs like me that alot of guys have a really perverted obsession with popping cherries. That, and to quote a guy i know "virgins are good because they havent learned bad habits from other dudes"

Losing your virginity is really difficult, and I feel lucky I had a guy willing to put in 3 months of dry humping before I "allowed him the pleasure" of deflowering me. I wanted to make sure I was with someone who cared about me.

From what I've gathered, it's almost ALWAYS lousy and no woman I've talked to had come on her first time. If I had a hymen, it was already broken with the handle of a hairbrush, I had already used vibrators on my clit, and it felt essentially like somebody was inserting a big ol' tampon. Total Anticlimax. I didn't realize I was supposed to be squeezing a muscle here or raising a leg there, maybe I was too distracted.

But in a couple weeks I was regularly soaking his sheets with girl come, so it got better. After that initial fiasco, something carnal kicks in...

I imagine the deflowering of a boy is similarly as disappointing. If I knew it would be so embarrasingly bad, I wouldn't have made him wait so long, haha!

Perhaps the term "sociopath" is a bit strong for a person who waits for someone special to have sex with for the first time. A better term might be brainwashed victim of anti-sex religion. The first time is never good. The idea that you should wait for someone special is just a deceptive tactic used by parents who care more about sin than their teenager's happiness and psycho-sexual health.

The greatest psychological danger in loosing your virginity is to loose it to someone who you THINK cares about you only to be dumped immediately by a guy moving on to his next conquest. It's much better not to put so much pressure and importance on the first time. Learn how to enjoy sex with anyone willing and attractive to you. Then, when you do meet someone special, your first time will be good!

It's amazing how a guy who's never had sex with anyone but his wife can be so confident that they have an "incredible sex life." How would you know, DIDNTSCREW?! The average time for sex is something like three minutes, so there are an awful lot of clueless people out there. To me, having sex for only three minutes would be like you having sex using your finger rather than your dick.

Please wait...
