I've learned to get over the stigma of being a virgin. I've realized what was obvious to me, or at least should have been, but I refused to come to grips with- that just because I'm not like everyone else doesn't mean I'm a failure, and that choosing to have sex with someone because you want THAT PERSON in particular, not just in desperation to lose your virginity to anybody, is the best way to go anyway. It's definitely a more flattering reason for the person you're having sex with.

It's hard to watch attractive young people in love and knowing they're having sex, yes. However, I try to remember that jealousy does me no good, it just robs me of peace of mind and gratitude for what I DO have in life. Their lives aren't perfect either.
