Yes! Being a virgin is perfectly okay. Sex is addictive, and addictive behaviors are generally bad. If you are a virgin, chances are, you don’t have a sexually transmitted disease. You haven’t had an unwanted pregnancy. You’ve never had an abortion. You have never been raped. These are all good things, very okay! I would rather be a virgin than have herpes any day!
You may be ridiculed by your sexually active friends for being a virgin, but a little ridicule is better than a lot of shame for sleeping with the wrong person or contracting a disease from a one night stand or ex-boyfriend. If you are concerned with being inexperienced when you become sexually active, don’t worry, you have the rest of your life to gain experience. It is a privilege to still carry your V-card, so carry it proudly! It is okay to be a virgin!
