I've always sort of wondered if people who lose their virginity late, late meaning after college, in their 30's, 40's or older, do they ever regret missing out on all the dating and sex they could've had when they were young?
There is no guarantee that anyone will be dating or have sex when they are young and it is very difficult to miss something one never had in the first place.

Well I think more than 90% of people have dated and had sex when they were young. It's pretty unusual to be an adult with a job and still be a virgin. I think after 35 or 40 the number of virgins is less than 1% of the population in that age group. And even if you do manage to lose it dating when older is usually more formal than when you are younger. So I'm just wondering if these people ever have any regrets for missing out.
Sorry man. The reason we come to these threads is because it's terrifying talking about this stuff in real life. I don't think anybody who knows me knows that I'm a 26 year old virgin. Some have probably guessed but noone has confirmed it to my face that they think or know.
There are some who have dated and there are others who haven't. Some people's priorities are different. Some people want to date and get the experience as soon as possible, and think it's important. Other people simply don't care about experiencing young love or having sex at an earlier age.
Personally I believe it is quite refreshing to meet someone with with a different mindset, that doesn't prioritize dating or making it to be the end all be all. Most of the people I know in relationships warn me to stay away from them and stay single. A lot also tell me I need to start dating soon, when in all honesty I don't care lol.
To me personally it really doesn't matter. I don't believe people should freak out over something like that anyways. It's not that serious.

What exactly is "more formal" when it comes to losing one's virginity? It is lost the same way no matter what your age.
Generally in my experience being older we don't dwell on things that "could have been", it's too close to
"what if" which can bring paranoia and doubts.
Then there are those of us who never revolved ourselves, lives or identities around others. We lived and continue to live for us, doing what we love to do and makes us happy.
Again, let me stress that one cannot regret or miss something they never had in the first place.
There is nothing to compare to so nothing to regret or miss.

Honey, "terrifying" is a grisley bear charging you, an 18 wheeler skidding toward you on a motorcycle, a bolt of lightening hitting within 2 feet of where you are standing.
Being a virgin is not terrifying
You are psyching yourself out and being your own worst enemy when you insist on writing that kind of story in your head.
26 is still young. And guess what? Your sex life is nobody's damn business and anyone who would be crass enough to ask you about it is someone you should lose as a friend.
RELAX. Focus on developing your social skills and let nature take its course.

You're yet to know this, but being a virgin isn't an issue for a lot of people. If talking about it helps you, then carry on.
