How important is that information for guys? Will he think it's weird or ask questions about it? I'm a reserved woman when it comes to sharing personal information. Or should I just go with the flow and only say it if he figures it out.
Your reasons are sound. They are not some off the wall religious or other hangup issues.

So yesterday was my first date. Seems like a cool guy. Will see how it goes. I'm not going to tell him yet. Too early.

the only way to find out if yr going to have those kind of relations, and he doesn't mind that.
every guy i dated turned out to be a virgin, but didn't want me to know that until i told him.
then it was just a matter of working that out between us. honesty definitely the best policy there.

Why say anything, unless there is some problem.

Tbh, most girls I knew had sexual experience before they had actual sex, because, hormones, and you kind of worked your way up to "that". So there wasn't any big surprises or concerns (other than bc) when the time came. I have heard horror stories from girls who had no prior sexual experiences before doing the deed but who needs the anxiety and possibility of a nasty experience.

I don't see how you can get around not disclosing your virginity... if you want to do it within a relationship and you and your potential mate haven't talked about past experiences or at minimum your health then you shouldn't be getting it on.

Potential Conversation:
Are you free of STIs? Why, yes I am, I'm a virgin... although that in of itself doesn't automatically mean you have no venereal diseases eh.

Well there you go.

And you don't have to disclose anything about past experience or lack of. It isn't an interview for a high security government job. If you are serious about a person and possible relationship of course you would tell the other person involved if you have a communicable disease. You could catch herpes from kissing, HPV from oral sex.

So-called "virgin" can have HPV which I think is fairly common amongst people who have had oral sex.

My advice is, there's a vaccine now for that, so people should get it.

Thanks for posting this!

I am 30+ years old and a virgin and don't wish to have sex until I find someone who wants to have a serious relationship with me. Whenever I talk to some of my friends or some guys I met, they would either laugh at me saying who does that in today's world or will say things like I might have not met anyone or something is wrong with me. So I stopped sharing it with guys and whenever they ask, I tend to avoid the whole topic.
