In a world invaded by thousands of sexual messages in which young people are increasingly pressured to rush into starting their sex life, being a virgin past a certain age has become a subject of laughter and irony. If being a virgin at 18 is something innocent, sensitive and exciting, being a virgin at 30 is embarrassing. Peer pressure from friends and the image that society and the media promote every day ridicule the uninitiated.

Both physicians and psychologists agree that there is no set optimum age to start your love life, but you have to have physical and emotional maturity for a good sexual debut.
Those who take a bit longer to achieve maturity begin to feel like a rare species and may feel like being a virgin is the great failure of their existence.

Society aims for us to succeed not only in professional circles but also in intimate relationships. No matter the domain, we must all be active. If you have not had sex yet, then you are an unattractive individual, undesirable, possibly ill and traumatized. Or at least that is the image commonly held of virgins over the age of 20.

You only need walk down the street and see how we are bombarded with thousands of sexual messages. Everyone does it, talks about it and how to best enjoy it. All except you.

It is the reason why the statistics don’t really reflect the true number of virgins. Most do not admit it, and may invent stories about an active sex life for fear of rejection or failure. According to psychotherapists, being a virgin does not have adverse physical effects but may affect the social life of the individual.

Although this sounds utopian, choosing how and when to start your sex life is a decision that belongs to you and only you. Remember that beyond the marketing, sexuality is a beautiful side of life. Rent apartments in Berlin and enjoy exploring your sexuality in a country where sexual prejudices are history.
