    Congratulations on not giving into the myth and hype about virginity and sex not being a big deal. Yes, it is pleasureable, but it’s not worth what you can lose from it. I didn’t lose my virginity until I was 23 years old. I was going to wait until marriage but realized that wasn’t going to happen anytime soon. Then I realized the true meaning of waiting. I waited until I was in a position where I could deal with the emotional and physical consequences of sexual activity. I had seen my cousin get pregnant from her first time (no joke!) and drop out of college (a very prestigious one) to become a mother at 19. Most of my close girlfriends were raped or had a guy leave shortly after becoming intimate during college and then belived that sex was a means of receiving affection and love. It was sad to watch such strong, caring, vibrant people become reclusive and depressed. I decided to wait until after I had my college diploma in my hand, a real job, and a healthy environment surrounded by good people. I felt only then could I make the proper judgements about sex and who I engaged in it with. I had plenty of offers along the way from many charming men, but I don’t regret waiting at all. I have a much more healthy and positive attitude about sex then my friends who lost it in their teenage or college years. And I am happy to report that I have an amazing sex life with a wonderful man. But don’t hold onto the belief that the man you are to marry is the man you lose your viriginity to. We all make mistakes and people turn out to be not who we thought they were. Marry for the right reasons, love, respect and happiness. You have to love yourself first to truly love someone else.
