to ask what you think-30 year old virgin

[username108]

Do you know anyone who is an older virgin? Do you think its really odd for someone to still be a virgin at 30?

Why would it be odd?

Probably religious of some description. Not odd at all.

I knew someone who is/was a virgin at a lot older than 30. I moved away so I dont know if that has changed

I don't think it's odd at all, as it's no one's else's business. If someone is waiting for the right one, so be it.

I was 30. Just didn't meet anyone of note until then.

nothing wrong with it at all

Nothing wrong with that. It isn't anybody else's business.

I know someone a little older than that who is a virgin. They have no real interest in sex or relationships. I don’t think them odd. I think it’s probably freeing to know your not really bothered by all that. They can live their life on their own terms so good for them I say! It’s a different matter if someone is desperate for love and feels very lonely but if they’re happy then it’s fine.

I know two males who were up until recently virgins. One 31, one 37! Not really anyone else's business, and you wouldn't have guessed.

I know a 37 year old who is a virgin.

The person I know, it seems to me to be more about self-image. Definitely not anything to do with religion.

No, it's not odd. More common than you think.

I think I know 2 (both never been in long term relationships, one is v religious, the other doesn't seem like the person to have one night stands), but honestly it's none of my business.

The person isnt religious and has never had a relationship

I briefly dated a man that was a virgin at about 28. He was previously religious, but found flaws he couldnt explain, so no longer believed. I was his 'first', but he'd obviously fooled around with others, just not done the deed before me.

@username108 that is not unusual

The person is perhaps asexual.

I'd assume religious. I know a lot of 30yo virgins due to religious reasons.

If not religious I'd think it was unusual but not particularly odd.

I think everyone's different and it's not my place to judge.

I find it odd that anyone gives a shit about the state of another person's virginity.

Some people just don't meet anyone and aren't casual about sex - even without being religious. I think it's possibly more common than you would expect, as people seem to regard it as weird. This thread is a case in point.

Why do you ask?

This was exactly me. Not religious, not asexual, Just hadn't met anyone until then,

Much as I'd never ask or particularly care, I'd assume religious.

If it was a potential partner then I may have reservations in the back of my head or wonder if they had additional baggage. It wouldn't automatically put me off dating them.

I'd feel a bit bad for them if they hadnt been in a relationship as that to me is missing out on intimacy and companionship like nothing else. However, I think it is admirable for people to preserve their virginity until marriage. A friend of mine did and gave it to her husband when they got married at 28. I think that's very romantic!

Mr. Noodle was a virgin until 27 (I met him 5 years later). He had a lot of confidence issues and an inherent belief that women weren't interested in him, so missed cues to the contrary.

It wouldn't even occur to me to think any deeper into it. I was at the opposite end of the spectrum sexually so can understand the difficulties around virginity and sex. I don't think less of him or think there's anything to be worried about.
