Okay, so, I'm 27 and have never had sex. When I was younger it wasn't an issue. I could tell guys that I was waiting for the right person and they accepted that. Now they ask me whats wrong with me. There must be "something wrong with me" if I'm still a virgin. They dump me the moment they find out, or occasionally, they look at me only as a conquest... luckily I can see that a mile away. Truth is, I've only been in one serious relationship and even though I loved him and was physically attracted to him, I didn't like it when he touched me in a sexual way, it brought back bad thoughts of something bad that happened to me as a child. I can't seem to get past that. Plus, I had just started college and I didn't want to risk pregnancy. We were talking about getting married after college so we both were comfortable with waiting until then. We went in different directions in life though and broke up.
I do also want to be with only the right guy but now I'm afraid no guy will give me a chance in the first place. Does anyone else here have this issue? Any other "overage virgins"? Especially ones who aren't this way because of religion. Seems every time I find someone who's still a virgin it is because they are super religious and although I am Jewish, I am far from Orthodox and am not sure I could be with someone so strict to any religion.
