    What, you'll consider the Priesthood because you can't get laid?

    I know the Clergy are rather strapped for personnel, but I have a feeling they prefer those motivated for spiritual reasons.

    You are going along the right lines even if its for the wrong reason,yes you should forget about losing your virginity and just relax.Don't think about every girl you meet may be the one to 'end it',this will happen just don't try to force it maybe you are trying to hard.

    I agree OP, just forget about it.
    It'll happen when it happens.

    Oh, and http://www.vocation-network.org/

    You should read the Style magazine that comes with the Sunday times.

    On the last page there is a "Mrs Mills" section where readers write letters in and she gives her truthful answer.

    A question like yours was posed to her, her reply was basically that sex doesn't start to get interesting until you are about 25.

    To be honest I wouldn't worry about it, in 5 years time you will be a completely different person than you are now. All it takes is patience.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    Well i was being sarcastic about joining the preisthood, I'd be terrible at that job... all that bible reading, i mean, theres only so many time you can read the same book right?

    No, in fact, i'm going to the Army in November.

    I only mentioned the monks cause thats all i can imagine when i say the word "celibacy" >.>

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,331 ✭✭✭✭bronte


    It'll be fine...you're just 19...relax and have fun...and at some point you'll meet somebody and want to take it further.
    Never compare yourself to anybody else.

    It is great, in the right circumstances and with the right person. Don't worry about it for now. It will happen for you in due course. BTW, I'm glad you are just joking about the priesthood/monks, steer well clear of that nonsense.

    You are only 19 ffs, not 49!! plenty of time for all that stuff to happen. Don't be so defeatist. The you of 7 or 8 years from now would look back at this thread and laugh.

    Yeah, that definitely wasnt mentioned in sex education.

    Anyway, anyone can get laid. Just go out, hook up with anyone and get some. Perhaps you're trying to match up with your perfect match too much? Go out and get cvhatting to a girl, any girl and bring her home. Its not difficult.

    one thinks the op should watch 40 year old virgin.

    on topic: op, there's nothing to rush into, it is great when it happens, and when its with someone you have feelings for, its like 100 million time better. Plus the more you think about it the more desperate you'll become, sit back, relax and you'll find someone who you like and likes you equally. Then, just take it from there. Sure one of my best mates is 24, still a virgin, and doesn't give two hoots. In fact he's more interested in getting locked then pulling!!

    No its not difficult, but for chrissakes make sure that your sober!

    Meeting in a darkened nightclub under strobes, going to bed with angelina jolie and waking up beside a wooly mammoth is not an experience I would like to undergo!!! :eek:

    Besides, its over rated. I didnt "do it" until I was 21, after that it snow balled :D excuse the pun

    so chill out, and dont retire him, just get him to work out a lot more and release that tesnion!! :p

    Well, at least youre funny, so you will be able to make a girl laugh. 19 and a virgin? So what, youll be still having sex when your 79 hopefully, thats a whole 60 years worth. And Ive never heard of a soldier who couldnt get laid. Them uniforms are sexy.:)
    it sounds a little gross
    As with eating oysters, its only gross when you try to describe it.;)

    Seriously. You have plenty of time. Relax, stop looking at women as an alien species you have to score, just be normal. We like that!

    yeah thats another thing... i'm in Reserve at the moment (so i have the uniform) and when i'm going to/coming from parade, i'm getting the turned heads and whistles etc, but the only people to actually talk to me are the old men asking to borrow it :confused:

    If you want to have good sex then be a good lover, what I mean by that is not techinque (that is pumping hard for x amount of time) but get in touch with your sensual side and express that with the person you are with when that time comes. When I say get in touch with your sensual side, you can make sex really exciting without penetration, for example some nice chocolates to share, lots of gentle touching, lingering kisses, gazing, it is amazing the effect those simple things can have on the whole sexual experience, let go of performing and just enjoy the smell, taste, touch and sound of the experience and the rest of it takes care of itself. I say this because I used to be very performance related and lately have let go of that and paradoxically I am having the time of my life whereas before sex was just mediocre.

    .

    It does?!

    Op just relax it wll happen.You cant force these things to happen and the more you stress about it the more it wont happen.
    Also I dont think 'not getting any' is a reasonable answer to give when the bishop asks you why you want to become a priest :)

    Well, if you're going into the army, you would probably find yourself having to retire it for weeks at a time anyway, unless you're fairly broad-minded ... :D

    Seriously, mate, the thing about losing your virginity, especially for guys, seems to be that we get totally obsessed with it until it actually happens ... and then usually we look back and say "ok, that was great, but still ... what the f""k was I making all the fuss about?" :confused: (Yes, I've been there, done that ...)

    Ok, you will meet the odd person who will tell you that for them the earth moved, brass bands played and volcanoes erupted 100 feet into the air ... but they're unusual. For a lot of us, our first time was far from perfect, and certainly far from the best we've ever had. But it did tend to relieve the tension (in both senses of the word! :D )

    Relax about it, and it's far more likely to happen.

    Oh, and just because there isn't someone else in your life just now is no reason to retire your penis anyway ... as a soon-to-be soldier I'm sure you appreciate the need for regular exercise, and to give all parts of your body a regular work-out in order to keep them in peak physical condition. ;)

    Oh don't worry, i have several "special" magazines that i'll be taking with me... and i've paid "palm and her 4 friends" in advance

    Aye... but the problem with basic training were i'm going is its right beside a beach... and if i'm unlucky, i'll get such a bad case of the wolf that it'll most likly fall off...
