You'd be lying to yourself. It's alright, we all do it at some level.
Anyway, you're not a virgin so it doesn't apply to you

>>8659804
But you implied people would want to "get it out of the way", which is silly.

All the sex I had was basically mere accident and I didn't think of myself higher than before when it happened. What is the difference between one who has never had sex and one who doesn't think he will have sex in the future? Being a virgin should not make the difference, being able to have sex with a woman whenever you want should. And banging a hooker to "get it out of the way" seems like a silly idea then, because there is no getting out of the way, there is a constant process that you either are or are not able to perpetuate. It's like lifting. No one goes to the gym once to lift some weights and then, never repeating the process, saying "Yeah, I lift."

So we should not ask "Are you a virgin?" but rather "Do you have sex on a regular basis?", which OP basically did.

>>8659822
I don't know about a hooker but I know that not being a virgin removes a certain guilt aspect of my life. It really does.
I see what you mean but I think your analogy with lifting doesn't work here. Being a virgin is a status and it makes you ill at ease when socialising.
I do agree that not having sex on a regular basis is embarrassing but much easier to conceal from others and nowhere near as hindering in social events.
I don't fool myself by thinking I'm a better person for having had sex, it's just something that gives you a status in the eyes of others. And you hardly can fake it, honestly

>>8659835
Faking it is just as easy as talking about sex when you only ever had sex with one girl where you didn't really know at all what you were doing.

Yes, the status of being a virgin is considered a flaw for men at a certain age in society, but I do not think that someone who had sex once but likely will never do so again will fair any better. On the question "Are you a virign?" everyone can just respond "No." without anyone batting an eye. But when you talk about sex and it becomes obvious that you don't really know a lot about it, you might aswell be a virgin.

>>8659860
You may have convinced me.

How are you supposed to understand literature and discuss it like a real patrician when you lack basic life experience?
I'm not saying sex is the most important thing, the holy grail etc etc, but if you never managed to fuck any one, your life is most likely devoid of any meaningful experiences (because you're an awkward fucking shut-in loser) and frankly you should go the fuck off this board.

>>8660016
>How are you supposed to understand literature and discuss it like a real patrician when you lack basic life experience?
I'll ask one of the 30+ amazing authors who were virgins, like John of the Cross, Theresa of Avila, Thomas Aquinas, Borges, Edith Stein
>I'm not saying sex is the most important thing, the holy grail etc etc, but if you never managed to fuck any one, your life is most likely devoid of any meaningful experiences (because you're an awkward fucking shut-in loser) and frankly you should go the fuck off this board.
Sex is as a one nighter one of the most pointless, empty and meaningless experiences one can have.

You are retarded.

>>8660073
>If you think 30 is an impressive number
Out of the totality of authors of classics? Yes, but it's probably more. Virginity isn't exactly something important to what people write.
>If you think you, me or any of the 4chan users are comparable to the amazing authors
We aren't, but virginity has nothing to do with experiencing literature.
>If you for some reason deduced that I was talking exclusively of one-nighters
Since virginity stops after the first one nighter, yes. You did not talk about a long, happy marriage or anything of the sort.

He was.

Borges wasn't a virgin, anon. Others on you list wrote straight up religious literature, but I guess if that's what rocks your boat who am I to argue. It's is a simple fact that experiences you have shape your ability to relate to art. There was that article about blind people's reading habits. It said that many of them read a lot (braille or audiobooks) but still prefer plebiest shit like Grisham thrillers, because it's hard for them to relate to more patrician stuff.

I for one read a lot of sci-fi and I wouldn't be able to relate to all those awkward as hell scenes in the book if not for my own sexual experiences.

I am talking about virginity among /lit/ posters being a huge indicator of their general lack of life experience, which is a prerequisite for understanding great literature, why the fuck are you bringing up a handful of arguably classical authors being virgins as a counter-argument? More over, why the fuck are you so hung up on the meaninglessness of sex? Sex itself was not even the point and I never said it was meaningful.

23 (May 23,1995 if anyone cares to know.)

Probably like last November or December.

Ranked:
(1) Ludwig Wittgenstein
(2) Alfred North Whitehead
(3) Maurice Merleau-Ponty
(4) Immanuel Kant
(5) Jerrold Katz

I'm obviously a non-fiction guy (cognitive science undergrad reporting in). If' we're sticking to fiction though - which I read much less of because I try to spend my time as productively as possible, which for me means studying non-fiction - then we'd have:

(1) Fyodor Dostoevsky (btw as a Russki born in America, the second syllable of his name more closely rhymes with "toe" than "toy").
(2) Franz Kafka
(3) Lewis Carroll
(4) Ivan Turgenev
(5) Francis Scott Fitzgerald

Also to name drop some a little, these are so writers and/or works that I'd really like to read sometime:
Marcel Proust
Stendhal
Schiller
Holderlin
Tristan Tzara
Honore de Balzac
"Vilette"
Rimbaud
"Don Quixote"
"Tristram Shandy"
More Kafka (haven't read the Trial)
More Dostoevsky
More Goethe (Faust, Part One was fucking awesome, but I can't place him in my top 5 without reading a little more).
Anton Chekhov
James Joyce
The /lit/ po-mo meme trilogy.

Probably others too, but I can't think of anyone else off the top of my head. On a similar note, its great have a board oriented to literary fiction, but it would be nice to see more classics and less post-modernism. Not that that's shitty, but even just statistically speaking, there have to be far more classic novels and just generally not post-modernists writing that are great that the post-modernist stuff. I think it would be nice to seem more 17th-19th century German and French literature.

Dostoevsky is literally just endless repetitive bullshit. He recycles the same them in all his books - a theme that sounds like it come straight from the mouth of an angsty autistic teenager who's having an existential crisis.

Kafka is generic edgelord bullshit, and his favorite"philosopher", Wittgenstein is an edgy science-worshiping faggot that doesn't even understand the basics of language and literally thinks that everything is meaningless. Kinda funny too, because this is like the exact opposite of Dostoevsky. It seems like this anon is more interested in being an edgelord faggot that actually reading anything intellectually or emotionally stimulating, or any of aesthetic value or originality. But what can you expect from a fucking slav.

Basically everything anon mentioned is shit, and I could point out why for each author in particular, but I'm not going to waste my time. I will mention that Dadaist poetry is literally the worst school in any form of art (literary or otherwise) in history.

Most of the people in this thread have shit taste to be honest. I haven't put too much thought into this, so I can't say for sure that this would be my top 5, but this is an example of someone who doesn't have shit-tier genre fiction tastes, but also isn't a pretentious edge-lord pseud.

Pick one. You obviously don't know much about Wittgenstein, or probably philosophy in general. Moreover, your example is doubly retarded because Wittgenstein was actually a huge fan of Dostoevsky himself. However this post is so subtly retarded that I think you're probably trolling, or just really smug and stupid at the same time - a terrible and yet amusing combination for anyone who might bear witness to your antics.

As a 24 y/o virgin, I agree. Sex may not be the most important thing in life, but being a virgin in your 20s can be a problem. For me, dating, sex, and women are topics that I'm uncomfortable talking about, which absolutely does put me ill at ease in social situations, because those topics can always come up.

It's turned into a bit of a vicious cycle. While losing my vcard isn't out of my power, it would require that I spill an unconscionable amount of spaghetti. So I put it off. It sucks because I have a pretty decent, even interesting, life, but I've just struggled to get this monkey off my back for years and it's kind of dragging me down. Can anyone relate or offer advice?

I know a beautiful, successful a+ only student who was a kissless virgin two years ago, still is a virgin at motherfucking 27. She's a 7 to me, most friends say she's an 8+. No one but me and her best friend know about her being a virgin.

people on 4chan (you) are simply ignorant. my ex gf was a virgin. current gf was a virgin. it does not come at a huge surprise though. if you yourself aren't really an interesting person you won't end up meeting interesting ppl easily.

sometimes you project your social anxiety too heavily

often times people are too oblivious to even notice your nervousness around certain topics

being a virgin is not as big of a deal as you think. as I said in another post itt, I know multiple girls over 20 that are/were virgins, so it's not like you're alone out there, assuming you're a male.

one thing I noticed is that the less you fight it and the less you care the more you attract people, not just on a sexual, but also on a social level.

I can't tell you why, but I'd probably come up with a decent pseudoscientific reason if I really put my mind to it. yes, things do actually change once you lose the v-card. but if you force it or if you do it with a hooker you'll probably feel even more pathetic (I wouldn't know).

Says everything about you, no one cares if you're a virgin anon.

The point is that the STEMfag doesn't read, and seemingly hasn't for a while. So his contributions to this thread are the fact that he's had sex, he's STEM and ( just incase you accuse him of it!) he's *NOT* an autist. The only /lit/ related part of this shitty thread, top 5 authors, he has no answer to. The only concrete thing I get out of his post is that he's a basic bitch-narcissist.
