Why I Waited Until 42 to Lose My Virginity – My Story and Dilemma

I grew up as a pastor’s son and stayed active in church. I was shy and didn’t start talking to girls until my mid-20s. By then, I was busy helping in my dad’s building materials shop and had no one-on-one conversations with women. At 25, my friends mocked my virginity and urged me to visit a hookup place. I had my own apartment by then, but I wanted my first experience to feel meaningful. I refused to be with someone openly selling sex. Now at 42, I’ve met a woman at work and we’ve become friends. I worry my inexperience and shyness will show. Should I seek practice with a casual partner first, or keep pursuing a genuine connection? I’d appreciate any advice.

Growing up pastor's son and shy until mid-20s, what made you decide at 42 that the time was finally right?

I agree, timing matters. I'm curious what sparked that confidence shift at 42.

Spending decades in church and your family's shop without any one-on-one interactions with women suggests a strong comfort zone rather than just shyness.

I get waiting for personal values, but assuming it had to be exactly at 42 feels a bit arbitrary. Life rarely follows neat timelines.

Try joining casual social events or workshops outside church circles to build confidence with women before making such a major personal decision again.
