I ask this because I am still a virgin and wasn't sure if this is something people talk about. I would imagine that if I told a woman I was still a virgin in my 30's she would think something was seriously wrong. I would hope the topic would never be discussed but was curious to hear from people who actually have experience.

Have you been on any dates lately?

I seem to recall at one time that you had never been on a date, at age 30 or so? Is that still accurate?

In my experience, stories about sexual past come up after you've been dating a little while, as funny anecdotes.

I personally don't want to hear too many tales of sexual history.

I've been in one short relationship. This question came up on the second date. I was forthcoming about my lack of experience; it didn't put her off.


I've wondered about this same thing and I've looked around the internet for different perspectives. The prevailing one seems to be "If she cares about you it won't matter," along with, "Don't advertise it, but DO tell her before you actually have sex." There are women who say they see post-early 20's virginity as a red flag but their number seems to be small.


For me it's not something I can control so it's not something I worry about (still a virgin). I've got enough to worry about without that being one. If a woman blows me off because I don't have enough experience for her then she probably has other issues that I'd be avoiding as well.

Not unless it was their daughter.

No, people do not talk about their past sexual experience until much later in the relationship if at all. I really don't want to hear the details of my date's sexual past with other men. Big turn off.

I think that when you are younger, you may worry about this kinda stuff. By the time you are in your 40s or older - if you re-enter the dating pool, it doesn't really matter.

Curious: Even if you're dating a virgin in their mid-40's?

The bolded is not true for me. A man's past/history, in every area of life, is relevant and of concern to me. I am an open book about mine.
