I'm not saying 'lifelong virgins' specifically...I'm also interested to hear of those who still had sex (flings, prostitutes) but never had a proper gf/bf or got married.
I fall into this category, except I did marry at a very young age. The marriage lasted only two years. He was abusive so I left. That was in 1996. I have not had a proper boyfriend or LTR of any kind since. Not for a lack of trying. Men are not interested in me romantically, only physically. In the late 90's to early 2000's I dated casually for a while, then things completely dried up. I don't date at all anymore. There's no one for me to date. I do want something meaningful but it seems men are interested in casual sex. I can't be bothered so I just stay alone.
Do you personally know anyone who's reached a mature age (say 45) who was never had a relationship and/or sex with another person?
Didn't you say "love" (not relationship or sex). In that case, yes I do: a few women who, at that age and maybe any age, were willing to have sex and a relationship, but never were able to be emotionally "in love".
I know a man who married thrice but once confessed me he never actually loved his wives.
I think it can be seen both good and bad: good because it means that growing up you really value the feeling/word "love", which has little to do with physical attraction and/or comfort zone and common interests etc; bad becuse sometimes the reason is not the one I just mentioned, it is that you are too narcissistic to open your heart to someone.
In the case of the man I met who confessed me this, I think it's because he had such hard life experiences that he developed a real difficulty in living a long term relationship.
