I'm not going to impose on you the whole "stay pure until marriage" thing either. It's not crap, and if you believe in it for whatever reason e.g. religious/personal like me, then by all means stick to your guns!

However since you're on that side of the camp, do know that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a 27-yr-old virgin either. As you say, you would like it to mean something. Well, guys come and go and sometimes we just have to patient for Mr Right to turn up!

In the meantime, if you want to play a more proactive role in getting your man, maybe you could try looking into changing your look or taking up a new hobby. Like someone above mentioned, personality does matter and guys tend to get turned off by girls who emit an air of "I-don't-care". If you feel heavy, you could also attempt to shed a few pounds, but don't overdo it especially if you're at a healthy weight.

Lastly, your friends are wrong about the vibrator!! How does using one desensitise our lady bits? It's like saying eating too much sweets will cause our tongues to lose tastebuds or something...
