I think everyone in the world today would be surprised if they found out how many people really remain virgins through high school, and their 20s too. I've seen more than a few people lie about this in my life. And just as many admit to still being virgins. Somehow the idea of 'virgin = bad' really took on some legs these past few decades... But you know what? Fuck people who believe that. Virgin does not equal bad.
And take what people say about their sexual experience with a grain of salt, always. Its an easy thing to lie about (hell, I've lied about gettin' some on this account already... although I did so because I thought it would help get people here off my back, not to brag).
I've had 2 sexual partners in my life, and haven't had sex in years. I don't even miss the sex... though I do miss the companionship. I lost my virginity at 18 - the things I miss about that relationship are things my 13 year old mind couldn't even comprehend... hell my 18 year old mind couldn't. I'm just now learning what it
really means.
My point it that sex is nothing without love, so don't let people try to convince you otherwise. Unfortunately, certain things in my life prevent me from finding that again, at least for the time being. Which brings me to this:

So late in life?! Dude... I know I'm younger than you, but '23' is not late in life. Late in life is the day you die, and you shouldn't let any pessimism convince you otherwise. Consider yourself lucky that your supposed downside is 'being a 23 year old virgin'. Had you made more mistakes in life you could be a drug addict... you could be sitting in prison... you could be much worse off than you are now. But what you
are is better than any of those things - so don't forget that.
If you're already experienced talking to women, then you honestly have a leg up on most people. Find a good one, one that shares your values, your interests, and pursue her a little harder than you would a normal 'friend'. If you're a good guy, someone will see that, and want you for it. This world is filled with women who have been treated terribly by men, if you can show one that you have what it takes to treat her right things will work out.
I'm starting to sound like a poor man's Dear Abby, so I'll stop. Just remember, things
will work out for you, as long as you're willing to take the needed risks when opportunity arrises. Sounds like you've been complacent. Time to change that.
