Why have sex or lose your virginity as though it's something to "get it over and done with" ? I remember speaking to someone about this before as though what will it change in you as a person? But they said well it doesn't. Will it somehow release the weight of the stigma that someone had before they sex? I do find myself worrying about STIs or accidentally getting someone pregnant despite knowing about protection anyway.
I don't know if it's right to compare it to when I passed my driving test and driving my own car whereas before that I sometimes felt a stigma for not driving and feeling quite jealous of people who were driving even when I was at college. I do feel glad I do drive now but if it hadn't been for dad I don't know if I would still.
I've heard of people of have paid to have sex out frustration because they've not experienced it. I wouldn't have thought about doing that and one night stands have never appealed to me either.
