A Guide to Losing Your Virginity "Late"

Because A) What is "late?"__ B)__ Who cares? and__ C)__ I want a breakfast sandwich.

This is what happened when I searched "woman scared."

"90% of people regret the first person they have sex with," someone told me recently, "but figure that now that their virginity's gone, no sense in stopping." But if you're someone acutely afraid of regret, it totally makes sense that you'd make it through high school a virgin. And then college. And then grad school. Et cetera. Next thing you know, you're a 26-year-old who's done everything except actual sex. Y'know. Technically.

__Don't downplay (or undermine) your V-card.

__Maybe you never met the right person at the right time, or you always got nervous and punked out, or it was a combination of those things and him not having a condom, or right when you were about to, someone set the apartment on fire.

But it doesn't matter, and don't try and play it off on circumstance. The fact is, you had the choice every day, and you chose to wait, even on those nights you got blackout drunk and hooked up with a cute bartender. It's nothing to be ashamed of, nor is it something to judge other people for doing. It's just who you are. Be proud!

Good Lord, tell people.

You're sitting in a bar with your friends, and someone's regaling everyone with a crazy position they tried last night, and you're like "HAHA, yeah, that, I do that all the time," the whole time remembering that scene in The 40 Year-Old Virgin where they call out Steve Carell on remarking that a woman's breast feels like a bag of sand. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

I mean, you don't have to write it in the sky. It'd be good to tell your closest friends, though.
