Not really, no. In a serious relationship I prefer a woman who has had other partners, has satisfied her curiosity and can be certain I am the best man for her.
To draw a parallel: I would not find a woman who has spent her entire life without speaking to any other man attractive either.

With myself being as messed up as I am, I can't find any woman who isn't a virgin sexy. I mean yes I'll be turned on to hotties, but if it came down to it, I have a large mental complex about "used" things.

Don't judge me!:mad:

There's nothing wrong with virgin guys. There is no real difference really, besides the lack of experience and lower quality of sex. Only girl-virgins are disgusting (in terms of sexual attractiveness).

If you really are into the whole 'chaste' thing, I would recommend marrying a guy who had had sex once or twice, but not too many times. If you marry a *guy* (especially, though girls too) who hasn't ever had sex with anyone but you, he will always wonder... and probably do a lot more than that.

so you would rather go with a girl who has bedded every one around her and carries who knows what?

I find it attractive because it is like unconqured territory. I like to compare deverginising to Lewis and Clark. Can you imagine the orgasm they emmited when they discovered the new land?

uhhhhh....i dont really think that and i dont ever plain on getting married so its a non issue:) thanks though
Not bad
24-09-2006, 08:33
Attractive? No I dont find myself attracted to virgins more than women who have had sex before. I have never had sex with a virgin either as it goes. At this point in life the chances of me having sex with a virgin are very very small.
If somehow it happens that my path and a virgin's path come together I would not avoid her because she is a virgin but I would be much more sure of my desire to be with her for an extended time than I would with another woman. I certainly would not choose a virgin expecting to have especially good sex with her very soon

Well.... that's what he'll tell you, anyway. *coff*

Anyway ... to the question at hand ...

I've been with virgins and I've been with the promiscuous and everywhere in between. "Sexy" and "Attractive" is defined by the merits of the self, not by the actions of the partner. I would not be with an unattractive virgin any more than I would be with an unattractive "slut".

I have never, in my life, been with anyone I didn't find attractive.

Well? Do you? Why or why not? Poll coming.

Over the years I've slept with two virgins. I don't recomend it. There is the lack of technical knowlege, of course. But that is easy enough to deal with. The bad thing is that they tend to get very clingy and fall in love after the first f**k. Even when you tell them before hand that it is not what you are looking for, and they agree to something casual. It's never casual to a first timer no matter what they say. But then my experience has only been with guys. I don't know if it's the same with girls.

it depends really. i mean its good to be with someone who has got some experience but its also nice to be someone's first partner as they will probably remember it for a long time. i personally dont mind. a virgin girl is very sexy yet an experienced girl is also sexy though i wouldn't want one who has slept with loads of people.
Kyronea
24-09-2006, 09:16
Not really, no. I had sex with one virgin. That turned out to be the worst mistake of my life. (Luckily one without consequences apart from the mental torture I still go through and the 400-something dollars wasted, though that's another issue entirely.)

I prefer women to have experience, to know what their doing...because I sure don't. ~_~ That one time was the only sex I'd ever had, I should mention. One experience does not a teacher make.

Male here.
I find it to be a sure way to ensure I will not attempt to have sex with you.
Well I am married nowso there is my vows to not have sex with anyone else too.

But even as a teen male I found virgin hunters to be the weak minded twits who couldnt handle a female who knew how to handle herself.

I mean if you want virgins it sounds to me like you are worried you wont measure up in the field--be by biologically or skill wise...so you need to go after the girls who dont know you suck in bed.

I liked sluts, stone cold throw down sluts.
I wanted women who would make me say "wow what the hell was that!"

I wanted to be intimidated, plus experience is sexy, when a woman knows what she is doing it is far more pleasurable for her and you.

Finally, I have never met a women who ever had anything nice to say about their first lover.

If I am second or thrid or forth or whatever ...I am at worst just antoher guy who will most likely not be remembered but if she is a virgin I will never be forgotten...feck that.

if that's how long it takes then yes, in fact a 37 year old virgin is much more attractive than say a 19 year old one, because he has been celibate longer and it denotes even more purpose and self control.

insecure women, or normal women when they are going through PMS. You would be surprised how many women I heard that from when I was doing premaritial counseling.

Oh, okay. I see what you mean now. Bascially someone who is unexperienced in relationships. Well, I think that only really becomes a problem (and not necessarily so, I guess) once you're past, say, your mid-twenties and if one of you is significantly more experienced in relationships than the other.

I've never thought that I was getting compared in a negative way. I've had men tell me I do the best at some things, and I usually assume that I'm the best at most things based on reactions. Although some things have to be done differently for every guy, some things are fairly universal.

But would it be any less romantic if you had been the fourth and he still decided that you were the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with ?

To be honest, to have someone say "I've had my fair share, but you're the best in every single aspect" is a lot more romantic in my eyes that someone saying "I really don't know, but I think you're the one I'm going to try cause I'm sick of waiting"..

Then again, I'm not known for being a very romantic person on the whole ;)

I think alot of people are getting sex and relationships mixed up. one can be a great lay but suck at having a relationship.

Not really, no. In a serious relationship I prefer a woman who has had other partners, has satisfied her curiosity and can be certain I am the best man for her.
To draw a parallel: I would not find a woman who has spent her entire life without speaking to any other man attractive either.so, inother words, a woman whos slept with 50 men, is now bored with sex and may think "well, he'll do as a husband" is a woman you find attractive.

Surely if he's electing to spend "the rest of his
life" with you, you've passed that test?If I find someone whom I would spend the rest of my life with, it won't be because of the sex. It will be because I am in love with that person and she is in love with me. sex is the side dish. Not the entree.

Over the years I've slept with two virgins. I don't recomend it. There is the lack of technical knowlege, of course. But that is easy enough to deal with. The bad thing is that they tend to get very clingy and fall in love after the first f**k. Even when you tell them before hand that it is not what you are looking for, and they agree to something casual. It's never casual to a first timer no matter what they say. But then my experience has only been with guys. I don't know if it's the same with girls.I would expect it to be the same with girls. after all, the first time is a special time.

Not really, no. I had sex with one virgin. That turned out to be the worst mistake of my life. (Luckily one without consequences apart from the mental torture I still go through and the 400-something dollars wasted, though that's another issue entirely.)

I prefer women to have experience, to know what their doing...because I sure don't. ~_~ That one time was the only sex I'd ever had, I should mention. One experience does not a teacher make.true, but one experince is all it takes to remove the title of "Virgin" and are you sure she isn't going though the same torture you are?

Depends... for a short-term relationship or a fling, I would have no problems with virgins. For anything long-term, no. I'd prefer someone with a bit or a clue of what he/she's doing.so a person who's been in 30 'flings' would be better at a relationship? what is it about a One-Night stand that makes a person (man or woman) better at a long term relationship?

Personally, I'd rather hear "YES! YES!"

rather than,

"ow...ow...ow..ow"if all you're hearing is Ow... Ow... Ow... then I would say, check to make sure you're plugged into the right 'socket'
oh, and as my sex ed teacher repeatedly said... "Forplay is fun, and when you have alot of fun before the main event, it makes the main event even better." ;)

then again, wouldn't the occasional ow also indicate that you are also... ahem... "larger than expected" while a string of 'Yes's could just be her not hurting your feelings?

im a 49 year old straight woman

But even as a teen male I found virgin hunters to be the weak minded twits who couldnt handle a female who knew how to handle herself.ah, but if you mean virgin Hunters as those who only want to pop cherries, and not get into a relationship, then you are correct. but that's not the virgin's fault, it's the mentallity of those 'hunters'

that's like you saying you don't like deer because people go out into the woods to shoot them to put their heads on their walls.

I mean if you want virgins it sounds to me like you are worried you wont measure up in the field--be by biologically or skill wise...so you need to go after the girls who dont know you suck in bed.perhaps I would like a virgin because I want a woman who can control her urges and one whom I would know is faithful to me and still not "sleeping around" even after we're married. the same would be true for my wife. I would rather she trusts me, knowing I can control myself in any situation and not have to worry about "meeting an old fling" or chasing someone who sh's imagining would be pretter or sexeier that she.

I liked sluts, stone cold throw down sluts. at least you're honest. now how many men does it take to make this woman a slut?
I can just imagine the first date... "so how many men have you been with... 10... oh... sorry, not interested..."
I wanted women who would make me say "wow what the hell was that!"err... you can still get that with a virgin. infact, I would think the chances of you getting that response would be higher with a virgin.

I wanted to be intimidated, plus experience is sexy, when a woman knows what she is doing it is far more pleasurable for her and you.if you say so. I really wouldn't know.

Finally, I have never met a women who ever had anything nice to say about their first lover.wait till you get into a real fight. oh and sometimes, that's called 'tact'. and remember, if you did sleep around also. that means that all your past lovers either forgot about you or think you stank.

If I am second or thrid or forth or whatever ...I am at worst just another guy who will most likely not be remembered but if she is a virgin I will never be forgotten...feck that.why am I reminded of Interstate 60...
"Ah, but if I don't do it with you... I won't be number 2 thousand and whatever, I will be number 1, the one who you won't know about, the one that you will dream about every night. So yes, I would be the perfect Fuck, the one you never had!"

Who the hell wonders that?you'll be surprised.

Yes, but it's not just sex, is it? I can remember what I was like as a virgin, and in my first "relationship", and to be honest, I wouldn't want to put up with something like that long-term... your first relationship or your first lay? sex and relationships are two different things and both require different mind-sets to make it work.

But would it be any less romantic if you had been the fourth and he still decided that you were the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with ?
To me, that would be more special... but I am apparantly weird.

(This is assuming your husband could have had much more than 3 partners before you, but was selective.)actually, that's called personal preference. if Smunkee wants somone who is, or in her case, was a virgin, then that is her choice. if you wanted someone who slept with each member of your town's sport franchise before meeting you... that's your preference.

To be honest, to have someone say "I've had my fair share, but you're the best in every single aspect" is a lot more romantic in my eyes that someone saying "I really don't know, but I think you're the one I'm going to try cause I'm sick of waiting"..

Then again, I'm not known for being a very romantic person on the whole ;)actually, the line would probably be "you're the best" from one who's been around.

and "wow that was awsome" from someone who hasn't.

Yeah, it's much better to wow an experienced person than impress a virgin. Of course a virgin will be impressed with any sex act, they've never done it before.not to mention, a virgin would probably be more inclined to try new things and to do things that would please the partner... while those that have tasted their flavor might not care about their partner as much.

Well, I've never been with a virgin so I'd like to do it for the novelty value. My other partners haven't been very satisfying either, so I doubt it would make much difference.so proof that experience isn't always everything.

If you are a virgin yourself then it might be prefrable to find another virgin so you don't feel embarassed at your inexperience.I am not embarrassed by my inexperience, and I will never be embarrassed by my inexperience.

Then why would it be romantic if you were "worthy" of your husband?Virginity, to some apparently, is a special thing. you are actually giving something that can only be given once. think about it. you can give your heart to many people, you can give your body to several partners (yes, you can even make it at the same time. ;) ) you can even give your life to alot of people. but giving someone your first, giving someone a blank sheet that is untouched or unmarred... that's something that you cannot give to another.




yep... here we go... the public service annoucement that all women should be prostitutes and whores and all men gigolos and sexist pigs! ;)

Meh, it just means she'll probably be a shit, nervious lay. If anything I'm doing a public service starting her on her road to whoredem.

Nah. A girl that knows what she's doing is preferable to a girl that doesn't.




now, to answer the OP's question... it doesn't matter to me.

so a person who's been in 30 'flings' would be better at a relationship? what is it about a One-Night stand that makes a person (man or woman) better at a long term relationship?

Who said anything about flings or one-night-stands? A person who only had those is essentially the same as a vrigin, except for the physical aspect.


your first relationship or your first lay? sex and relationships are two different things and both require different mind-sets to make it work.

Both, actually. They happened to be the same.



not to mention, a virgin would probably be more inclined to try new things and to do things that would please the partner... while those that have tasted their flavor might not care about their partner as much.

Trust me... not true. ;)

Personally, I'm a bit annoyed by the fuss that's made about it. It was one of the reasons why I was scared for years to try it (one of the reasons, mind, not the only one), and as I said before, I do seriously regret the fact that I lost my virginity so very late.
Why would you regard sex as being the one and only ever-so-special thing in a relationship? To me, glad as I was to finally have dared having sex, there were things in that relationship that were worth far more to the both of us back then than the fact that I had been a virgin.
What do you think is essentially worth more? Having rather bad sex, but with a bit of pain and bleeding - woohoo!, or sharing your innermost thoughts, feelings, all your secrets with the other? Giving this person all your heart, all your previous life, all your experiences and your complete and utter trust?

you seem to be making a great deal of a relationship about sex, earlier you said that you wouldn't have a relationship with a virgin because they would be inexperienced, tothrow out an entire possibility of a relationship based on what they may or may not be able to do to please you in bed seems like you put a lot of weight on sex in your relationships.

Sex is all that people care about now, and that disgusts me. Whatever happend to moral value? public decency? right and wrong? Now a days its all reversed, wrong is right, people spit on morals, and decency is a thing of the past. It makes me sick!! Then you have the people who have sex, do drugs, smoke and drink, who make sure that you know all about it as if it makes them better than you. Virginity is a sacred thig, something to be cherished and held on to until marriage.

Fair enough, I shouldn't have made that statement quite so absolutely. But to be honest, it would be a bit of a concern for me. I regard sex as something normal and healthy, and I would worry about someone who - for whatever reason - denies him- or herself that.

it's a preference thing like JuNii said, I think sex is normal and healthy, and sacred (yeah, I can see you :rolleyes:, it's okay, I understand) and I would worry about someone who would go out and have sex with random people (not that every non-virgin does that) because I would wonder what real satisfaction they recieved....

but since I am married it's not really any of my concern anymore anyway. ;)

they are all mutually exsclusive. I can share my feelings, thoughts and secrets, my dreams and hopes without having sex. I can offer my heart, soul and being without removing any article of clothing. I can gain and offer trust without knowing how she was in the sack. my past experiences will be there for her to draw upon as I hope I can draw upon hers. and again, sex does not need to be in the picture. if you need sex to create the relationship, then again people are confusing sex and relationships.

infact, I believe that creating the relationship first would make the first time even better.

so, inother words, a woman whos slept with 50 men, is now bored with sex and may think "well, he'll do as a husband" is a woman you find attractive.

Not necessarily. I just prefer a woman that has had several meaningful relationships and based on those meaningful relationships decides that the one with me is worth making permanent. I personally have my doubts at the meaningfulness of 50 different lays - but who knows.

Note that this is about relationships and even marriage - a commitment I take pretty serious. I in fact consider people that only have sex after marriage to be an insult. It is a BIG commitment. Not to be taken so lightly as people that "save themselves for marriage" do. But that is just my opinion.

Virginity is visible? Well, I suppose on females in a certain position it would be, but generally speaking, the poll question makes no sense.

Anyway, like a few of the others here, I think of virginity more as a sign of self-control, and that is something I do find attractive. Less likely to cheat on me if she knows how to control her sex drive.

While I get the perv vote here that says that sex shouldn't be so important and that they'd rather someone who'd been around the block (and around and around and around), that's just not how I feel.

Probably because I want to find one partner, and stick with that partner for the rest of my life, rather than try to get lay after lay from anyone attractive who'll put out. I'm a virgin myself, and I'd rather not have sex until I find someone I want to spend the rest of my life with, and said life partner should probably feel the same about it.

True... but i was better able (and willing) to tune into the feelngs and needs of my partner once I had lost my virginity. And that's also when I got more adventurous and more willing to experiment.

I would never advise anyone to have their first time outside of a relationship. It would be pointless, unsatisfying and could be a rather disturbing experience, too.
Why do you make this large disctinction between yourself as a physical and sexual being and as having a heart and mind. And why you would regard the physical aspect much higher than the emotional and mental aspects?

Anyway, the reason that I responded the way that I did is because in my experience, the reason that someone is a virgin is not because they want to save themselves for that special someone; if this were the case, it's fine. In my experience, though, someone is a virgin because they can't find someone who will have sex with them, for whatever reason (too scared?), and such a person would not be a good person to base a relationship on, as the reason for the virginity wasn't romantic in intent.

I am a virgin male and I really cannot imagine my first time with a non-virgin. I think I wouldn't even be able to continue if I knew she had someone else before me even if I loved her the most :( I find it almost as bad as cheating (though I don't know why... I just feel that way... and I feel that way strongly indeed) It may seem like selfishness but I offer the exact same thing in return. But I'm slowly losing hope. Maybe I'll never find my perfect lass therefore a day may come when I'll be forced to reconsider... And I don't like the idea at all.
