I'm 29 and I've never had sex with anyone, but I wouldn't call myself a "virgin" since to me that implies some sort of purity or innocence that I've lost a long time ago lol
I think that people that frown upon masturbation just don't know how to masturbate properly. I don't go through life calling others losers, since to each their own, but if we're gonna be calling names, I think it's more pathetic when you're not able to satisfy yourself and you rely on having sex with others to be happy.
Like, yeah, I suppose sex must feel great for those that do it, but how sad it must be when they're single and aren't able to fulfill their own needs.
But again, good for those that enjoy sex and always have an available partner. In my life, I've just never found anyone that attracts me to the point of getting intimate. Probably the last time I cared about being a virgin was back in high school when people wouldn't stop talking about it, but ever since I've become such an expert in masturbation, that it doesn't even cross my mind unless someone else brings up the topic.
I had friends trying to hook me up with girls and boys, but it just never interested me enough, even less if it's forced. I'm not closed to anything, and as they say, never say never, but right now I'm very pleased with what I do myself. I've tried so many kinds of techniques, and toys, including those for anal and prostate stimulation, I've got into coregasms/dry orgasms, etc that there never comes a moment when I feel like I'm lacking in the sexual department.
You need to set your priorities. If you wanna have sex just to "stop being a virgin", that's a pretty lame reason in my opinion, but nevertheless, there's lots of apps and lots of people out there that will be willing to have sex just for the sake of it, you just gotta go for it.
If what you want is to fall in love and get in a relationship, then that's a whole nother story. But whatever it is you want to do, you just have to take into action. Masturbating or not is not the issue, I think everyone should masturbate whether they have a sex partner or not.
But you gotta stop pitying yourself and go out there to get what you want, or maybe you need to realize that you only want to stop being virgin because of the external pressure and not because it's really a desire that comes from within you.
