in the media virginity is often associated with shame, people (especially teenage boys, in my experience) who haven't had sex are ridiculed, it's treated as something embarrassing, especially
@boys&men: that's a very harmful portrayal! there is nothing wrong with being a virgin or with having your first time not in your teenage years but in your twenties, thirties, fourties, fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, never!
sex does not make you more of a guy, no sex does not make you less of a guy
be mindful of if, when, and with who you want to have sex! that's really really important! you need to listen to your wishes & needs and respect them. otherwise, sex can turn into self harm
