Mrcloudsurfer,
I have some input you my find helpful. I married a virgin. Like you, I was in my early 30's and she was in her mid 20's. I had already had tons of sex and was used to getting it "on tap" in a relationship.
The first thing I'll throw out there is you should go with your gut feeling on whether or not you think this girl is truly a virgin. She probably is, but you know her, not us. I also had doubts when my wife told me she was. I just found it improbable. But---as time went on, it was evident to me. It wasn't my first rodeo and I'd been with dozens of women. There was something distinctly different about her---she was unspoiled from just about every perspective.
There was a religious component to her virginity but it wasn't the driving factor. We ultimately had sex before we married. It wasn't my plan, per se, but she really wanted it and who was I to say no? Honestly though, I didn't take it lightly. I kind of figured if I break it, I buy it. I didn't NEED to get laid that bad. Sure I wanted it, but I was mentally prepared to wait until marriage if it was that important to her. That's the value I saw in her. Not JUST the virginity thing. That should indeed be held in very high regard. I think the reasons are obvious. But the big picture of who she was, her looks, her background, our beliefs, personalities, etc....to me I could wait. My d!ck wouldnt fall off if I didnt have sex for a year or two. Luckily, I didnt have to wait that long. But never ONCE did I ever get the feeling or impression I was being "made" to wait. If I did, I would have walked.
@BeExcellent is right---there is a degree of hypocrisy on these forums. There is not a single guy here who would pick a non-virgin over a virgin in the long run (all else being equal), yet when someone DOES talk about a female virgin everyone is just incredulous to the point of being insulting. You should weigh all of our advice against what you actually know about her.
The thing guys dont seem to get about a virgin is that it really isnt about the pvssy. I suppose it is in a symbolic sense, but the real value is in her emotional purity and ability to be sexually and emotionally devoted to you. That's what you want, right? That's what any guy wants. Guys will say "oh, you can get that with any other low-mileage girl if you game her right, fvck her right, etc." Not to the same degree, sorry. A virgin is a blank slate. Wouldn't you rather be the first one to write on it?
There are a few caveats about an ostensible virgin; e.g.--you should not move forward if:
1. You dont feel she is the girl for you in some other way(s)
2. You feel you are being "made" to wait---as in a power play on her part
3. You do not want the inevitable responsibility that comes with taking a girl's virginity. More likely than not she will become attached strongly to you.
If none of these apply to you, AND you have a good gut feeling about her virginity, then I think you have a very unique opportunity on your hands that will not come around again.
And if you just cant get over the no-sex thing, then she may not be the one for you. It's only temporary after all.
Exactly.....these guys need to understand that there are in fact women who take their religious vows of remaining a virgin until marriage seriously and IMO it's highly respectable.
It's much much different than placing their ***** on a pedastel. It's about them having a higher belief and sticking to it.
Men are so mind ****ed in the US by this because there are almost zero such women left in the states. All you have is trashy jaded feminists with terrible attitudes and double standards that bang a new guy every few months or more.
