Almost 26 and Never Had Sex: The Importance of Radical Self-Love for Older Virgins

"I have never done anything sex related with at least one other person. Straight sex, lesbian sex, giving or receiving oral sex, mutual masturbation, joint watching of porn and subsequent hand job exchanges – however which way you define partnered sex, I have never had it.

I am not asexual. I am not disabled in any way that makes sex difficult or impossible. I do not have any physical illnesses that would affect my libido, and my mental health problems have never affected it. I do not abstain from sex for cultural or religious reasons. In short, there is no underlying reason or issue that might prevent me from wanting or being able to have sex. I have just never had it. Nor have I been in any sort of romantic relationship. I am no closer to having sex or being in a relationship than I was when I was a teenager, and I am almost twenty-six years old....
