it's not a joke - and I'm not mocking anyone
I do wonder if I'm desirable - it's something that I've always been anxious about
I felt the same way when i was a virgin 30 years ago
and I feel the same way, now, after having had sex 3,576 times
whether or not you've had sex or a relationship doesn't necessarily change the way you view yourself
why should my feelings of self worth be any less valid than someone else's?
so a few women have found me to be desirable on occasion
does that mean they always will?
does that mean the women whom I desire will find me desirable?
am I to impose limits on whom I seek as a prospective partner based upon whether my past has made me worthy of their acceptance?
what if I felt the need for all women to desire me?
is any of this rational thinking?
is it any more or less rational than worrying whether it was acceptable to be a virgin?
