I don't think having sex with a prostitute of any caliber would be the greatest idea, because it removes the thrill of the chase and the sense of accomplishment (anyone who objects to that... think about it. That's part of the fun of it for guys, and sometimes girls too). And then sure you can technically say you're no longer a virgin, but... Well, I guess if it's bothering you that much go for it. I'm sorry you're having such a hard time with it.
Truth! Also, I believe there are a few posters here who've tried prostitutes to get rid of their virginity, and ended up feeling ashamed that they had to go to a prostitute and all the more hopeless about women.
OP, just food for thought. I dont know how old you are, but i find 90% of the time people bragging about however many ppl they slept with are comlpetely BSing and trying to build themselves up. Im almost 30 and i still find this with ppl. I have a hard time believing them.
Pay it no heed.
Also true.
And folks, keep in mind the OP is
16, and said his cousins talking were the problem. He's going to have a hard time finding new cousins, and family can be hard to avoid. He also isn't likely to be able to afford a prostitute of
any caliber. Nor do I suspect he will have much luck finding male peers who aren't into bragging and/or lying about sex.
Karl, my advice would be to do your best to talk to as many girls as possible--including and
especially the ones you aren't attracted to. Talk to old ones as well as young ones. It's the best way to learn about women. Learning about women is important. Not just for the sake of getting a girlfriend or sex, but including for that.
