How can I be 20 and a virgin?

I’m a 20 year old guy and yes, I’m still a virgin. In this day and age most people don’t get past 16 without having sex, but honestly I don’t see why. I’m a virgin by choice. The way I see it, it is and always will be ‘mind over matter’. The mind is a very powerful tool; we don’t have to ‘do’ just because we get some crazy urge to. We desire what we want and do what we can, but we don’t ever do what we should or crave what we need. Well we do crave what we need; i.e. what we think we need. But why sex? And why when we are so young? What about sex will change when we’re older?

People start having sex because they realize all their friends are doing it and it’s supposed to be “mind-blowing”. I’ve been told many times that I don’t know what I’m missing. Of course I don’t! How can you miss something you never tried? If I never knew about cotton candy, I wouldn’t go around saying “Oh my goodness, I really need some cotton candy right now”! Would I? Nope.

What I don’t understand is why so many of us try so hard to fit in and do what everyone is doing. No one these days knows about individuality and having a mind for oneself. If you want to dress like everyone else and do what everyone else is doing, what is going to make you different? How will you stand out?

It seems like we are afraid of being labeled or just being the odd-man-out. There really isn’t anything wrong with waiting. It’s not like there’s a sign on your forehead saying “I’m a virgin! I’m not cool”. Look at it this way; no one can tell by looking. I’m cool, I have quite a few friends and I’m more often than not the life of the party when I need to be but I’m sure you wouldn’t have guessed I was a virgin either. I would love to bungee jump, sky dive and even swim with some sharks. All I’m saying is that you can use your imagination; there are a lot cooler things to do right now than to care about having sex. That’s just me.
