I never actually thought of it as "taking" a guy's virginity- as it really would have had no influence anyway on whether or not we would have sex. The only influences would have had to do with attraction and caring and the things that matter to me regardless of the man in question's experience.
That said, my husband- who I love beyond belief and find the sexiest man ever- and I have incredible sex with-- was a virgin and well over the age of 21 when we met. I still teasingly accuse him of being a liar about his sexual history, but only because he is just.. well... the absolute best and I am amazed he had never 'been there' before me- not even kissing, making out, etc. either, as he too, is rather shy and not one to be overly sexually confident.
He is an avid reader, he researches anything that interests him, and he knew a lot just from that. Also together naturally we continue to learn. Great school btw. :wink: And some more experienced men I have been with seemed to think every woman likes exactly the same thing and orgasms exactly the same way and thinks his experience made him 'better'- NOT.
I'm glad however my husband isn't interested in casual encounters, (especially now that we're married!) tho there was a time I think he would have, if he could have, ya know? Opportunity just didnt occur while he walked around with the perpetual erection.... :biggrin1: it does now!
Good luck to you, you are sure taking the right steps by writing on here and asking questions. It immediately increases your level of attractiveness, and hopefully, your self-confidence.
