Like some auld hooker is going to say he had a wee one when he was paying them top whack to screw him.

ScottishThistle · 16/05/2007 14:24

I can't believe he had never played with himself, how weird to reach the age of 25 & not had an orgasm never mind no sex!

expatinscotland · 16/05/2007 14:26

That's freaky, ST, I agree.

Of course, it was all I could do sitting on it till I was 16 and got rid of it (virginity) .

ScottishThistle · 16/05/2007 14:31

I wouldn't want to have experienced my first orgasm on national tv, bloody hell they would have had to turn the sound down!

bristols · 16/05/2007 14:34

Was just dropping off to sleep last night and the convulsing feet entered my mind. Was killing myself laughing! DH wanted to know what I was giggling at but I just couldn't explain (he hadn't watched the programme)

Luckymetwins · 16/05/2007 14:35

Feeling better already reading all your comments, just laughed my head off at a few

I didn't see the bit about them teaching him to make dinner think it's going to take more than a nice meal to help him out now.

It does give give older virgins a bad name I think, after all, living with your parent, having a paper round (what!) and letting your gran buy your clothes , it's a recipe for ridicule before he's even started, to be honest all that would have put me off before I'd even seen the TV prog.

Luckymetwins · 16/05/2007 14:41

Sorry just read he had never played with himself.. is that true??? No way, no wonder he was still a virgin he didn't know what he was missing..think that's even more worrying then the tv prog, surly helping yourself , so to speak, is a natural step in life, he's so mixed up.

DrDaddy · 16/05/2007 15:07

"Was just dropping off to sleep last night and the convulsing feet entered my mind..."
Yes. I was giggling about that too. And the crossed toes. Poor guy.
Can't believe he never "had shex with himself" as the owner described it...very unusual I'd have thought.

HenriettaHippo · 16/05/2007 15:08

oh dear, I feel really sorry for him. Much as his hairy bottom was horrible to watch (and I am a bit that I did), I can't help feeling he was being exploited - not by the course and the women there - but by the TV company. He couldn't have paid for that treatment on his own with his paper round money. They did it knowing people'd laugh at him, and he's suffered from that all his life from the sound of it.

I thought the women were great. It was all very understanding and gentle. Such a course could only exist in Holland, where it seems to me people have fewer hang ups about sex.

Ok, will return now to weaving my wicker basket, and dying my tie dye, home woven caftan.

bananabump · 16/05/2007 15:42

I agree Henrietta, it was very sensationalist, and although I think it did help him see that sex wasn't the be all and end all, I doubt it will help him meet women because there are too many problems in his life. No-one wants to date a 26 yr old paperboy who lives with his Mum.

He's have been better to have a lifecoaching session with a man, who could have educated him in the ways of appearing confident and knowing what women want in a man. Just because he knows his way around a vagina now doesn't mean he's got the first clue about women, and I think it's a shame that his first sexual encounters were with weirdy beardy women he didn't even fancy. How sad.

OtterInnit · 16/05/2007 15:44

dp thought it was staged!

ScaryHairy · 16/05/2007 15:47

I agree Henrietta - the women teaching the course did seem very caring and warm. It was probably nice for him to be taken seriously and not laughed at.

I also thought it was pretty poignant when he said that he didn't really fancy the woman he was going to have sex with. It seemed to me that he wasn't talking about fancying, he was talking about love.

But I thought he was a bit focused on sex, as if losing his virginity would make him a man, when in so many other areas of his life he was not able to engage as an adult.

binkleandflip · 16/05/2007 15:54

I think he was brave to do it as it was absolutely mortifying to watch, but car crash tv at its best I guess.

I found for the most part it was tastefully done and I thought the women were very professional and gentle with him which is the way he wanted it after all.

Bless!

bananabump · 16/05/2007 15:55

It was too cringemakingly dorky to be staged imho.

I've dated a couple of virgins over the years, and they can be very strange. One guy I dated (veeeeery briefly I might add) told me that before our date he had put mouthwash all over his lower tummy banana "for the laydees" as he had heard that Peter Stringfellow did it (!?!) and he always had girls flinging themselves at him.

Needless to say I had no desire to erm, "freshen my breath" that night, and I also informed him that he shouldn't listen to tips from any man who habitually wore thongs.

Men are odd.

binkleandflip · 16/05/2007 15:57

And respect to him for doing it the lights on in any case! I wouldnt!

expatinscotland · 16/05/2007 15:57

I didn't go out with men who were virgins. Even when I was a virgin .

binkleandflip · 16/05/2007 15:57

Think I might have once...

expatinscotland · 16/05/2007 15:58

I'd have run a mile.

No, thanks!

I prefer the more experienced bloke.

bananabump · 16/05/2007 16:08

Nah, I used to quite like virgins. They have nothing to compare you to, so think you're a Goddess in bed even if you're lying back being spectacularly selfish. teehee!

filthymindedvixen · 16/05/2007 16:08

thanks for this thread - i watched it last night and you lot have just enhanced my experiensh of it two fold.. I wish I had a lap top in the lounge so I could have shared it with you...

as dh said: ''it's nice that a gaggle of elderly prostitutes have found a lucrative way of keeping their hand in...snurk''

expatinscotland · 16/05/2007 16:50

They're 'two pump chumps', banana.

Gimme a guy with some DC (that's dick control) anyday!

filthymindedvixen · 16/05/2007 16:52

yes but banana, last time i had a virgin, he twizzled my nipples for so long, one fell off.

And he was so fucussed on nipples, he couldn't do anything else.
It was like trying to teach someone to rub their belly and pat their head at the same time..

filthymindedvixen - PMSL

bananabump - "He's have been better to have a lifecoaching session with a man..." Hmmm...but most of us blokes aren't as understanding, IMO. I mean, I'd have pissed myself laughing if I saw his baggy kecks in RL! His mate with the pierced ear seemed quite understanding though....
