I have a friend who honestly cares way too much about those things. Getting laid is a huge concern for him, he sees it as a kind of competition, where the more you get laid the better you are, as if having sex validates himself. I find it rather sad... he cares so much that he lost his virginity to a girl whom he describes as ugly and annoying. Thing is, that girl is also my friend, and I quite simply think that having sex with someone that you do not care for, just for the sake of being able to say that you're not a virgin anymore, is rather gross.
I mean COME ON, virginity is just a word, nothing else. You're not actually any different when you lose it. It doesn't make you better in any way. I have had girls ask me to sleep with them, but none of them which I actually loved. And honestly, I don't want to participate in such an intimate experience with someone that I do not have strong feelings for. I can be patient. I'm now 18 year old. While some people may think that it makes me a loser, I am perfectly fine with it. I want to appreciate my first time, not rush it with anyone.
