I know a 40 plus year old virgin


a guy I know is ticking closer and closer to 50 and still has never even came close to having sex with a woman. All he does is go to work and then on his off time he sits around his house, alone, playing video games. He has no friends outside of work and he has no family in the area. He just works and goes home. I think he has a large collection of flashlights and blowup dolls. Many of us have tried to fix him up but he always makes some excuse not to go. I don't think he's gay I think he just doesn't know how to talk to a woman. It really kind of sad.

He might be perfectly happy playing video games instead of socialising.

That's what I think! Sometimes video games can be better companions than girls are. How often do you hear of somebody getting their heart broken by a video game? I've heard it as often as I've encountered a dinosaur. Why put yourself in harm's way when you don't have to?

Maybe he's happy that way, but you still should ask him.

reply

I did too! Only the guy I knew still lived with his parents and had gotten very religious. I was in college at the time and he just hung around campus trying to go to bible study groups even though he wasn't enrolled not was he alumni. Later he couldn't figure out why he was asked not to come on campus anymore.

reply

Why was it so important to go to bible stuff on a college campus if he did not go to school there?

reply

How do you know that he's still virgin? Did you asked him about his sex life?

There are people I thought were virgins before, but found out that they are not.

reply

he told him that boobs were like bags of sand so thats how you know

reply

Bags of sand? C'mon man, you can do better than that. Me so horny, no, me so stupid!

Maybe sex and relationships are not something he wants, and he's happy the way he is. It's as if we think that every adult needs to be in some relationship just because most adults already are, and, "Who the hell is this guy, thinking he doesn't have to put up with all this crap like the rest of us?"

If he wanted to have sex as badly as most other guys, he would have found someone to do it with him, no matter how tacky the hookup might have been. I know that all guys on the internet only ever have sex with Scandinavian lingerie models in the master cabins of luxury yachts that are floating on the French Riviera, but seriously, how tacky are most hookups that happen outside of the context of serious relationships? I can't speak for anyone else, but personally, I would prefer not having some the memories that I do.

A desperate-enough guy can almost always find a girl without paying money, as long as he is willing to put his d**k in crazy (which really only means he'll be paying with something other than money). Maybe this guy never saw the point of subjecting himself to that embarrassment, either because the social pressure doesn't happen to mean anything to him, or because his body simply does not happen to be pumping so many of the kinds of chemicals that make things seem hot and exciting when they are actually gross and kind of scary.

I hope you get herpes.

Wow, so edgy!

you could basically be describing me. not that i'm an exact match - i've had a few close calls over the years, a time or two where women i knew more or less made themselves available to me, and i basically chickened out. and i did have a couple of one-nighters when i first went to university, but i was black-out drunk both times and am fairly certain that nothing happened.

so i'm more or less a 47 yr old virgin, i guess. and i'm mostly ok with my life. I did do a bit of therapy recently, and actually spent some time being tested & interviewed by the psychological intake centre at our university, and they did say i'm likely mildy autistic, which makes a fair bit of sense to me.

i've basically made my peace with the fact that i'll never have a normal life, in the sense that i'll be able to date or socialize or be viewed as normal by other people. that does bring me down a bit sometimes, but most of the time it's ok.

i have made the decision to hire a pro though. i've already sourced someone out and made contact with her, and i'll probably set up a session in the next few weeks. because why not?

This is my happening and it freaks me out.

reply

Sounds like you have a good attitude. I think everyone feels like they are not "normal" at leaat sometimes. Accepting who you are as much aa possible is probably the most important factor in enjoying life.

reply

I know one too. He even acts like Andy. I think he's gay, but was raised Southern Baptist so he's repressing his true self.
