I did this. Downloaded Tinder and just lost it to a random guy I never talked to again after. I regret it deeply. It’s honestly not all that great cause you just feel used after. Then I just did it with random guys to get that experience other people constantly would talk about. I promise you that it’s worth waiting even if it doesn’t feel like it in the moment.
I wish I had listened to the people who told me to wait. You are not less desirable for it. If anyone makes you feel that way, then they are not for you. Friends and partners alike. There is no “normal” when it comes to sex because every single person has different experiences. This is just yours. While it might feel bad now, you will be so so grateful for waiting. Especially waiting for a person who makes you feel safe and loved. You are worthy of that. 💗
I hate to be that guy, but I am just that guy. Where did you get this “mature at 30” information? It has been consistently documented that all parts of the brain and body are fully grown and mature by around age 26. If you are referring to social maturity, it is both arbitrary and ongoing; meaning it does not develop in a straight line, nor is it something that can ever be “fully” achieved.
Probably not the “deepest connection”. This is what I’m talking about, blowing it out of proportion. I’d argue fiercely that I have a MUCH deeper connection with close friends, family, and my own son, than any level of connection with a person who mutually agreed to touch our private parts together.
