I am a 21 F in college and still a virgin. Although I’m not religious, I believe in the sanctity of my body in dedication to my future partner. Sometimes I feel like I’m missing out or that men don’t care about that stuff anymore Should I let this go?

No, stick to your principles if you believe in them. If you reevaluate your priorities, then that's your decision to make, but don't let peer pressure or feeling left out change your mind.

don’t let a man or anyone convince you to change your values. you’ll find someone that respects your beliefs and it’ll be very worth it in the end :)

Don’t let it go for one specific person who wants you to. If you yourself want to have sex, have sex. Some theoretical future man who might get upset about that isn’t worth considering and also isn’t worth saving yourself for

Hear it from the other side of the aisle. At one point, I was in your exact position as a guy, and I gassed myself up into thinking that losing it would make me cooler or more of a man. I went home the night I lost it and I was miserable for days. It’s not worth it, hang onto your virginity I promise you it will be so much better with your spouse

The only thing worse than being a virgin is losing your virginity to some slob

Especially if you’re not religious or seeking a religious man

A part of me is like “ew where have these disgusting dudes been” but the other part of me is like “girl who cares you’re in college”

That’s definitely a factor. Lots of folks run the risk. It’s good to have an adult conversation with someone about their history & STDs before sleeping with them though. I do promise you it’ll be better with someone you love and who loves you, at least for your first time. Also helps make that conversation less awkward

Whatever you do, do it safe and protected. A friend of mine said “girl who cares” and she now has herpes and a daughter at 20 years old
