    i wish i was still one. i've been with one guy and we plan on getting married when we have the money lol.
    but for real, there is nothing wrong with it, and i give kudos to people who have respect for themselves and wait for what they want.

    28 and still a pretty happy virgin. It's a choice I've made, not because I'm religious (which I'm not, I'm a proud atheist also), but because I'm not ready to deal with the responsibility that comes with sex.

    If ur an atheist wouldnt u want to be knocking boots as soon as possible since in your belief system (or lackthere of) there are literally no repurcussions to anything u do in this life? Just trying to find the logic.
    I am a Christian, but I think atheists still believe in pregnancy and STDs...

    lol, im sure they do, but there are ways around that. This isn't 1736.

    Though many churches still think it is and seek to prevent all people from using the tools we have to prevent these things, even when these people are not their followers and are, indeed, atheists.

    The church prevents NOTHING...they just lay out the case of what ok and whats not. For ahtiests, who believe in nothing they should be out there banging away and doing whatever their heat/body desires since to them there is nothing after this.

    So a person's atheist (doesn't believe in a god / higher power etc) and that means they have no morals?
    I personally don't care if a person's a virgin, slept with 1, 2 or 100 people, as long as that's their choice, but to say they should be out "banging away" just because they don't believe in anything is ridiculous!

    Not a virgin myself but there are tons of reasons why a person may choose not to, that is nothing to do with religion. Did you know that prior to probably around the 1960's, most people would wait until they were married before having sex. This wasn't always because of religion, but for many because they didn't see sex as something to be shared with just anybody, and should be kept for the one you choose to spend your life with. I didn't choose to wait until marriage, but I certainly wouldn't just sleep with someone purely because I was in the mood, they were sexually attractive and up for it too!

    Also, there are STD's, pregnancy etc (yes there are ways to prevent it, but nothing's 100%) are you saying that a 15 year old should be out there banging away because their desires / hormones say to them they should?

    Well since u said it...i dont know why an atheist would have any morals? Why not live fo rtoday and just do whatever the F you want?

    "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
    Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

    Comments like yours always get me wondering. Are you actually saying that if you didn't believe in a god you'd "just do whatever the F you want?" The ONLY reason you don't "just do whatever the F you want" is because god will punish you if you do? Are you REALLY saying that? Because if you REALLY are saying that, you scare me. I'm terrified that you will forget about god, or decide that your god has changed the rules and you'll actually hurt people.

    Morality isn't born of religion, it's born of caring about the suffering of conscious creatures, and it happens because it's in our best interest to care about the suffering conscious creatures. We're better off if we care about the well being of others..

    I'm a virgin. Just haven't found anyone I liked that much to give it up to you yet. Sometimes I kinda wish I didn't care about that and had ONSs. :laugh: I have trouble finding people attractive who I don't get to know anyway, so it's not likely I'd enjoy sex with someone I didn't have feelings for.

    nah I'm not. I lost it when I was 16 to my first boyfriend. after a few years of his bull**** I got with my best friend and we got married. I don't judge people if they are or aren't. Ive only been with 2 people but it wasn't out of morals, its just I have a hard time connecting with other people on that level. I do how ever think that me losing it at 16 was a bit too young, I mean it's good to wait at least after high school because you can get pregnant and that is a scary situation at least after high school you get to be a kid for a bit longer and got your diploma.

    I am a virgin; I'm not interested in romantic or sexual relationships.

    And yes, I've been told that this is "unhealthy" and "unnatural." Fear not; by not procreating, my unnaturalness will not be perpetuated. You're welcome, humanity. *sigh*

    I'm nearly 21 and still a virgin.
    And I have no problem with it.
    Not that I'm waiting for marriage exactly, but it will happen when it happens.

    EXACTLY this. How do you know me so well? lol :)

    Ugh, I was a virgin til marriage, by choice. It was a weird choice to a lot of people, but as long as I didn't expect the same from they, they could have cared less.

    All this anti-atheist and anti-christian talk is such garbage. Grow up people. If you claim to be a christian, go ahead and act like one!
    I was raised in a very conservative home as far as religious beliefs go. Very very conservative, and yet I never once heard in my church or family that it was OK to go around and treat people like dirt because they don't share your same convictions. Quite the opposite, actually.
    It's just another excuse to be intolerant, and intolerance towards Christians as a whole is just as bad as the people saying atheists are moral-less savages. (some serious paraphrasing there)

    Was there anti-christian sentiment on this thread? I missed it. I saw some pretty blatant anti-atheist sentiment though. Atheists saying they aren't amoral, especially in reply to a comment implying they are, isn't an attack on christianity.

    I haven't seen the Rocky Horror Picture, either. Oh, and take my hubby out of the equation and I'd be a virgin again, too and there ain't nothing wrong with that. :wink:

    Not on this thread you haven't been told you're unhealthy or unnatural. You may have been elsewhere. In fact, there's a good reason, evolutionarily, why a species has some individuals that lack an interest in sex. The only health issue I know of isn't related to sex so much as reproduction. Women who don't carry a child have a higher risk of breast cancer. This applies to any woman who doesn't carry a child, no matter why.

    I don't get the obsession with what is "natural" anyway. Eyeglasses aren't natural. Neither is indoor plumbing. Nobody is suggesting they are unhealthy or wrong.

    I'm sorry, I just got on my little rant and was talking in general. I saw the anti atheists pop their heads out and got all riled up.

    I'm sorry too. It's just that I've been trying to get something done about the blatantly nasty posts since they first appeared on the thread; it looks as if it's not gonna happen.

    You don't have to have sex to get HIV, AIDS, or HBV either, but why bring it up?

    Oh, I know! No one has said anything of the sort on MFP -- I get that reaction from people in real life. The internet has been much more accepting.

    sex has nothing to do with someone's religion... there are plenty of Christians that have sex, so why argue with a non-christian that doesn't have sex.... really?

    Not the only virgin here...to be honest to be a virgin in this day and age is like being a Unicorn! It's nothing to be ashed off. Even if you had never been in a relationship, that is also nothing to be ashamed of. Most people think that they can't get laid or date because of the way they look which is so not true. This may come as a surprise but "fat" and "ugly" people have sex too.

    For some of us its a choice, for other circumstance; things will only end bad and regretted if you try to push it.

    I'm a virgin. I'm almost 27. I sorta tell everyone as a party trick now. The reactions are hilarious.

    No one's ever been rude about it, but they do sort of look at me like I spontaneously sprouted three heads. Heh.

    I was almost 21 before I wasn't a virgin anymore, and have zero regrets!
    Most people never really believed me because I was good looking and dated, but I just never felt compelled to do it with anyone I dated before then.
