I have never had a "long term" relationship or engaged in sex and I'm in my early 30s. I was just far too busy focusing on my education, career, traveling, and establishing strong relationships with family and friends. I never wanted to worry about diseases, pregnancy or other associated relationship issues...

However people always tell me that I'm missing out, I'm not sure why they believe that I'm missing out. I'm very happy and content at this stage in my life. There is a possibility that at some point I will seek out a relationship, but currently, I'm not so much looking for one -unless I just happen to meet the right guy out of the blue.

Do most think that people who choose to forego relationships and sex are "missing out?"

Doesn't sound like you are.

Everyone has his or her unique perspective. Compared to many people, you're probably fortunate to have avoided the worst aspects of relationships. The good parts are incredible, but if you're content, don't mess with a good thing.

abstinance works 100% of the time (as a contraceptive, and to avoid std's)

no- dont take the hype,,

do whats right for you- if you are young,,, and then worry about a relationship..

to have sex to say youve had it,,,you wont feel good about yourself,,

what you dont know- you wont miss...

ive never done cocaine- had opportunities,,but afraid i would like it,,,,but not knowing,,,i dont miss it,,while i've had friends ruin their lives over cocaine,,because they tried it and loved it


some men,,,good men,,,will love the fact you held out,,,,
a 30 yr old virgin is more rare than an honest politician

make alot of guy friends,,and someday you will meet the right one,,,live life on your own clock/time,,,not everyone elses


dont listen to your friends...be yourself and damn proud of it!!!

I think it depends on the reason of the abstinence,
If it's because you choose a different lifestyle, then I guess it's fine,
but if it is because you can't get anyone to like you, it can really suck.

by the sound sof it you are abstinent because you chose to.
