I don't know if this has been brought up, but what makes a guy a virgin (besides one who hasn't had sex yet)? Girls have the hymen, but I'm not sure about the boys. I mean, if they've been jacking off but hasn't had intercourse yet, doesn't that already make them not virgins? Males don't have some protective lining inside that denotes them as virgins, do they?
Well, first off, not all girls have a hymen. It's usually just a thin membrane. It can get broken by a finger or a tampon or maybe even some sports. I never knew mine existed, never had any spotting or breaking that I ever noticed.
And as far as when somebody loses their virginity, it's not as well-defined as it used to be. Jacking off doesn't count, though. And males don't have physical evidence of virginity. If you want to know if a woman can tell if it's your first time, she can if she has any experience at all. Take my word for it.
Here's a previous amusing thread, with a link to at least one other previous amusing thread, on this topic.
A male virgin to me is a guy who hasn't had sex(ual intercourse). An intact hymen isn't a definitive sign of virginity in women anyway cos some women's hymens break long before they first have sex. Just my two cents.
I don't count blow jobs as losing virginity. It takes a pussy for a man to lose his virginity. If blowjobs counted as losing it, then I lost my virginity at age 18. However, if you count intercourse, my age jumps to 25. Yes, I know I lost it a bit late in life.
I don't necessarily agree that it takes a pussy. I think an ass would also count. Otherwise, all gay men who have never been with a woman would be considered virgins, and I disagree with that.
Sex is an act; the insertion of the penis into an ass (hole) has as much significance as does the vagina. Men and women alike are attracted to one another, so then is the question of male virginity being lost only sensual or sexual if it is the vagina?
In my opinion I believe the correct answer for me is no, but to keep an open mind- we are all different and view the world uniquely. What works for one is not the same for all.
BTW, I was 19 when I received vaginal sex- thus losing my virgin-ized status.
