(Possibly NSFW) Did you ever lie and say you lost your virginity, even though you hadn't yet?

If so, why?

Not that I recall. In this society, that kind of thing matters so people lie because there are assumptions of experience.

I had a girlfriend who liked to present herself as being sexually voracious. In truth, while she liked oral sex, she refused to have intercourse. She told all her friends that we were sexually active. My friends, who knew her (inaccurate) reputation, asked me for details. I simply told them it was none of their business, and let them think what they wanted.
A couple years later, while home from college, we got back together and did it right. She kept saying how stupid she had been for delaying it.

No, but I lied by saying I hadn’t lost it when I actually had. Namely, to my parents and my doctor (to avoid a Pap smear at 17).

No, I was open to my friends about being a virgin til 18.

No, but I didn’t tell my first love, when I was 22, that I was a virgin. I met him again some 30 years later and mentioned it. He looked surprised and shocked. His eye brows rose up to his hair line.

Nope. When I was a virgin, I never said I wasn’t. After I started having sex I didn’t really tell anyone, and if my mom or brother ask I will say that I haven’t. Just to avoid my brother beating anyone up, and I know my mother will freak out.

Nope, never did lie, didn’t lose it until I was 21
However I did have a friend who lied and said she lost hers when she was 15 just so she could be accepted by the popular kids in high school. After we graduated she then told me that the whole time she was lying. At that point in time she had only kissed a guy.

Nah, there’s no shame in whatever choice people make. I didn’t lose mine till I was 20 but I never felt ashamed or like I had to lie about that.

I didn’t lose mine, I deliberately discarded it on my wedding night.

No, I never lied, though telling the truth to my first gynecologist was quite an entertaining process. Yes, I really do want birth control, and yes, I really am a virgin. Yes, a real virgin. Yes, I know what the word means.

Yes, my best friend at school. We were best friends since primary school. She got mixed up in the wrong crowd when she was about 14, slept with so many. She didn’t want to be my friend anymore because I didn’t want to do it. I told her I slept with someone, in the hope she would like me again. She did until she set me up with someone and I ran away crying, and so obviously I was still a virgin.

@Headhurts Set you up with someone to have sex?

I must confess that as a young teen I told several close pals that i’d slept with Madonna, when in fact that was palpably not true…it was Debbie Gibson i’d humped ;-}

@ucme Only in her dreams!

ucme's avatar

@Headhurts Yeah, she can shake her love in my direction any day.

I didn’t lose it until I was well into my 30’s (not joking, and I’m a guy). This wasn’t due to religious reasons, but just due to the way that I am. I just can’t do It the way other guys can, for I need to develope a comfort zone with a girl first, and I really have to get to know her. It would always be a Catch 22, since most girls didn’t want to wait, so the pattern would repeat itself.

I never had to lie about my virginity, though I’m certain that some (or perhaps many) girls suspected it due to my more quiet/reserved demeanor around other people. It gets tougher the older you get, but I was always happy enough with my self not to let it lower my self-esteem too much. I never had a problem attracting women though regardless of all this.
