"Are you a virgin?" / "He's a virgin"

[Abbott]

On more than one occasion I've been asked the question "Are you a virgin?"

In the past I tend to say something like "what sort of ridiculous question is that?!" Their response is always "Aha! You are a virgin!" Then after that, I try to disprove their assumption (their assumption IS true, but they aren't supposed to know that) and tell them that they cannot possibly know for sure.

Other times, people who actually knew it for sure have said the words "he's (me) a virgin" when I was around a bunch of people and then it becomes hard to seem cool to those people after that phrase was uttered. Typically, when anyone does say those words, they're "messed up," so they aren't thinking straight. Plus the people who say things like this don't really respect me.

In the last situation, one suggestion may be to simply not be around those people. Unfortunately, it's easier said than done because we have some mutual friends, and those friendships are important to me. So that isn't really a choice, though I do try to implement that choice the best I can.

What I'd like to know is what are some good responses to that sort of thing?

I don't want to lie, because A) lying is wrong, and B) it'll be obvious that I don't know that I'm talking about. However, in our contemporary sex-crazed society among the younger crowd (18-25) it's considered "uncool" to be a virgin, so I have that working against me whenever people find out.

What can I do to "come out on top" in these situations? Or more specifically, what types of things can I say and/or do?

Here's my response. It works everytime.

Them: Hah, your a virgin aren't you
Me: Hah, just because you don't want to believe all the nasty things your mum did to me last night.

them: u virgin.. hehe

you: seems like pickiness has a price

you: I do not stick my member into every p***y I meet
you: I do not stivk my member into every sewer pipe I come across - this has worked for me beautifully once when I was pissed at some girl accusing me of sleeping around.

if a girl:

always play on the pickiness issue.

that you value sex, and call it special.

or you just could start a monologue about the consuming society in which sex has lost its meaning, and that you, consider it special to be inside a womans body, to feel her soul and to have this mutual experience..

Actually I think I will try this on the weekend, just to see hwat happens..

Why are you embarrassed about being a virgin?

When I was asked this question some years ago by two girls, I replied: "Yes, I'm a virgin." One of the girls laughed out loud, the other asked me why. I told her "I prefer to be in a committed relationship before I have sex and I still haven't found that person".

I had a lot of conviction in what I was saying, which showed them I was very confident in my beliefs. Both girls suddenly showed a lot of respect for me and a few days later I asked one of them out, had a 6month relationship with her, during which time I lost my virginity.

Best reply to "Are you a virgin?"

This is the best reply I've evr come up with to the above mentioned question:

Her: "Are you a virgin?"
You: "Would you like to find out? (sly grin)"

Another one you could use is:

Her: "Are you a virgin?"
You: "Not exactly, I like to refer to it as a rookie"
