The thought of people having sex made me cry today.

Try being cockblocked in all your LTR's and missing the chances to get laid even before I hit 20. It really bothers me everyday, how I did my best and it really got nowhere because they were sexually uncomfortable escalating to the point of penetration. I've done everything but penetration, I've gotten them to do everything else but my ex's were suffering from cognitive dissonance, due to their religious beliefs. I'm fine that I've gotten to experience touching, and feeling a woman but like you in the same boat as well, I just never had sex at all and it bothers me. I still think about my ex everyday too and I can't seem to stop since we broke up last october.

I feel I'm great enough to meet another attractive woman but the fact that I got left from my last relationship without fully exercising the opportunities that I wanted to fulfill, it stings a lot. I'm not downplaying your situation, I just want to say I'm right with you and well even though I'm not ugly I still find it hard to get out there. Maybe I'm scared of rejection and also fear inadequacy. I'm not used to rejection because it's never happened to me so obviously it will be terrifying. But I guess we both at some point just have to say this is enough and just get out there enough to find the right woman who will understand where we both are coming from. I'm not even a fan of casual sex, in my head it just seems wrong and if I am to lose my virginity, I swore to myself I'd lose it to someone I love and care about because it does matter at the end of the day. There's some pressure to just fuck some girl, maybe a friend or whatever but at the same time I'd rather lose it in a relationship. It's just such a confusing place to be as I'm turning 21 soon and only 3 LTR's that I've been in and I've never really approached or asked women out other than the ones I was with.
