I'm 22, still a virgin (female). I've had a couple boyfriends and dated a few other guys but I've always kept myself from having sex with them because it never felt right. I've been waiting to be in a deep, long-term committed relationship to finally have sex. The desire is definitely there - so much that for the past couple months I've actually been re-evaluating my view about sex.
I've always been somewhat of a prude. Since I want to feel completely comfortable with a guy before having sex, I act awkward in the beginning of dating when it comes to hooking up. I definitely have a lot of passion, but I keep myself from doing further things, which understandably frustrates some of the guys I've been with.
When I see the way that my friends and acquaintances treat sex, I have to ask myself if I've been doing it wrong all along. Have I been putting sex on a pedestal?
There is a guy friend of mine whom I'm incredibly attracted to. From what I've heard about him, he's really good in bed. He's sweet to me (as a friend) and he has not put any moves on me. Tonight we hung out one-on-one, and I was tempted to initiate something, but being my prudish self, I did not. Of course, I don't know how he would have reacted- maybe he would've turned me away, who knows. But the fact is that I had an opportunity to hook up, and I didn't take it, because of my conservativeness and prudish manner.
And when I say i'm a prude, it's purely in the way I act, because I probably have one of the dirtiest and curious minds. But of course I don't act on it.
Thoughts?
