Hi Brenda,

I’m a 21-year-old virgin. Is that a problem? PS. I’m a man.

Hi Virgin Vincent,

There's nothing wrong with being a virgin at any age, unless YOU think there is something wrong with it. But 21 is incredibly young to start worrying, I promise.

If you want to have sex, I hope you do it in the safest way possible, using protection and getting tested and all that jazz that makes sex a bit boring, but a bit safer because the effects of the orgasm don't last past the actual orgasm. No one wants a touch of syphilis.

You, Vincent, have the rare opportunity to take some time to think about how you want your first sexual experience to play out, and that makes all the difference in the world. Keep in mind, if you will, that your peers are probably exaggerating, and everyone is just as scared as you are, if not more!
