Better Orgasms. Better World.
Not so much a question but a thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU! I just watched the Its Not an Orgasm. I Didn't Ejaculate video. Thank you for confirming what I already knew. Thank you for telling me I know what the hell I'm talking about and being the voice of sanity in this world of a cluster fuck storm of misinformation and exaggerated entertainment theater fantasy.
I am two years from thirty and still a virgin because I have not had intercourse with another person (there is and has been no one I felt even remotely safe with or interested in and I'm not really motivated to kiss a bunch of slime).
However, I've been plenty sexually active with myself and I'm more than happy to add to my still growing library of information. 28 maybe considered "late" by some people but considering I was raised in an environment that encourage self-ignorance or "learn it off the street" I'm doing pretty damn good in my opinion.
There's a good chunk about sex I don't know cuz reading it is one thing. Going out and doing it is another I am not in the best of sex positive environments (the military is many things- sex positive is not one of them) But I know what I like and I KNOW what a damn orgasm is.
One of the things I hate. Really really HATE is when sexually active people look down on those that are not (I hate it when virgins look down on sexually active people just as much). I don't talk about that I'm a virgin 1) it's nobody's business. 2) I stop being a person and become either a "target", an "object", a "prude", some one to "easily freak out" (Ha) or the newest- "stupid".
In the words over heard by my roommate and her clique when they were talking amongst themselves "virgins don't know shit and there's no such thing as an orgasm" Apparently, they being non-virgins who know everything- because when your 19-20 you know EVERYTHING- there is this Great Unattainable Orgasm that they will forever be on the search for even though there is no such thing as an orgasm so they must fuck as many people as possible, live in drama spread unhealthy opinions about the sex they clearly don't like anyway (what is the point of fucking if you don't want to or LIKE IT??? The virgin is CONFUSED! But maybe that's because I'm STUPID and don't know what an orgasm is!)
This is the shit I have to deal with every day. Thank you for being an information source I can connect with and I can trust what little time and brain power I have left to me at the end of the day.
And fuck yes, I know what a fucking orgasm is! Hellfucking damn right I do!

Dear R,
Three cheers for you! In my book any woman who can bring herself to orgasm is a fully sexual woman. What is this "virgin" crap? Those other women are what we used to call "cock junkies," women who are providing men with a wet hole for male masturbation. Meanwhile most of them are not having orgasms from vaginal penetration. When you do get around to fucking guys, just reach down and do your clitoris the same as you do now with masturbation. Then drop me a line.

What a beautiful article!
What a beautiful article! Thank-you(whoever you are, you didn't leave a name) for sharing your story!
Are you me?
Seriously, did I send this question in and forget about it? Because I've had that EXACT conversation with my ex-roommates. XD
I try to cover up the fact that I'm a virgin... People tend to look at me like I ought to be studied because I made it past 16 (i'm 22 now). Or something. All I know is, it's weird in our culture to value sex past "it feels good", but at the same time, we're prudish about so much... No wonder my generation is so messed-up.
I also don't get why you'd have tons of sex if you didn't even enjoy it... I guess it's so guys will like you more, but I can't even tell you how many times one of my roommates came crying to me that the guy she had a one-night-stand with didn't call her back/respect her/whatever.
Thank you for sharing!
I just found this article and felt very identified with what you say.
I`m a 22 year old sexually active woman and I`m very happy with my sexual life.However, sometimes I do feel the pressure because I haven`t been with anyone in that sense.
This was one of those times, but then I read this article and remembered what I stood for, so thank you very much for sharing!
