Men who are virgins until their 20s

In the recent past, I have encountered not one but THREE men who were virgins. Two were in their early twenties, one was nearly thirty and still a virgin. None of them were holding out for religious reasons. One told me at first that he was not having sex until marriage because of pregnancy. (That was lie, insidently, but I will not reveil the truth.) The other two told me that they had had girlfriends in the past. One in fact was with his girlfriend for five years, living together for two, was engaged to be married to her, AND he was still a virgin!

What would cause this?!?!? Any thoughts?!

Respect? Holding sex in high regard, instead of a frivolous game to be knocked out whenever the pool table isn't available?

I would say these guys have respect for themselves and don't want to risk AIDS and all the other disgusting diseases that go with sleeping around. I think a "guy virgin" would be a great catch.

Or maybe it was a lie, and they were hoping to get a mercy lay.

I think you've got that backwards! I haven't known any guys who've walked into a bar with a chick and said "Aw, darn. It's league night; there go my plans! Well, fine. Let's go have sex instead."

Maybe his gf wants to wait until they are married?

There can be many reasons why a guy is a virgin in his twenties. The following list is in no particular order. A couple of those things should be enough to keep a guy a virgin until his twenties or longer.
  • He has religious reasons
  • He is scared of pregnancy or STD's
  • He turned down every woman that asked him out because he is too picky
  • He only goes for woman who are out of his league and never gets a date
  • He only wants to have sex in an exclusive relationship with a woman he can see a future with
  • He has no interest in and/or is opposed to casual sex
  • He simply never had the opportunity
  • He is not confident, assertive enough when it comes to women
  • He has no social skills, is akward around women
  • He is too ugly, fat, etc.
  • He is turned off by the sexual history of potential mates
  • He doesn't care about sex, all his time is consumed by hobbies or furthering his education
  • He is (very) shy
  • He is a doormat and women don't respect him
  • He tells the women he dates that he is a virgin and they run for the hills because something must be wrong with him
  • He is frustrated with his lack of success in dating and has given up

For me it was simple...

HIV was in full bloom and everyone (women especially, in my case) seemed to be anxious about this relatively unknown and insidious disease.

I wanted to wait until I was in a committed relationship with someone I intended to marry and have children with.

Being a virgin, for a man in his 20's, is not wrong it is just a personal choice. When I was in my 20's I was a dirty strumpet with lose morals and a fast sedan, let me tell you I got around town! I regret it and that is why by the time I was 25 I joined the sisterhood. I wished I hadn't been so eager to sell my petunia but what's done is done. Luckily I have found god and the food ain't so bad back at the convent so it all worked out. A guy that is trying to lead a good moral path is admirable, that or he is in the closet.
