Thank you for your comment :)

And even though breaking up hurts, it isn't bad. You can only find the right person by dating a lot of people and learning from your experiences.

I was thinking about what the future would be like if I broke up with him, and it would be so heartbreaking. I'm such a chicken, but I really, really do not want to experience that heartbreak. At this point, our relationship has just started and I cannot imagine NOT being with him. It sounds so awful.

Virginity isn't important. Sex isn't magic. It's just going to be like you masturbating except he'll be there, and later, he'll probably ask you to do it again. If that sounds fun, great! Why wouldn't you go for it?

Eh, sex seems a bit different than masturbation. We have cuddled many times in bed and being so proximally close to someone is electrifying. So much more exciting and intense than pleasuring myself. For example, I cannot get wet on my own but while I was cuddling with him and as we were just pressing our bodies against each other I got extremely wet but I didn't say anything even though I was aching for sex. It's more intense than fun because there are very strong feelings involved. It's a bit overwhelming because I literally never liked a guy as much as I like him now.

It sounds like not having sex with this guy is bothering you. Why not just fix the problem? Why not go have some fun? Why not go learn about sex?

Because of the implications...

I can't speak to the religious concerns about premarital sex, but a friend who studied to be a priest once told me that the actual rule in the bible is "Don't have sex if you haven't talked about it first." You'll have to google-up if that true, or maybe a helpful redditor knows a source.

Yes, we both come from religious families so we understand the value in virginity. So that's definitely a factor.

Anyway, you seem like a great kid. You have a healthy sex drive and you're dating a boy you really like. That's fantastic! Enjoy yourself. Have fun jerking off. Get a vibrator from Wallgreens, if you want. Either stay a virgin or fuck him or fool around but don't fuck him or do whatever you want.

Lol thanks :).

Oh yes, I read that before. To be quite honest, I don't for see that ever happening to me. I don't feel guilty about my urges and I know once I get married I'll have no qualms about getting it on lol.
