Sex b/c of social pressures

[Polo2847]

Do you think guys are more pressured to have sex, even if it's their first time?
If you have lost your virginity due to pressures, do you regret it? How did you react and deal with it? What would you have done differently?

I kinda think that girls are more likely to wait, but there are a bunch of girls at my school who do it for fun and pleasure.

i kind of think that it goes both ways. it think everybody gets pressured into it because its a social status. it kind of makes you top dog of your group of friends or even of your school. sorry if this doesnt really make sense. im horrible at writing what im actually thinking

[AlexOnToast]

It certainly is true that a lot of the time, certain pressure is in place for guys to lose their virginity as soon as possible.

I agree with connorftw that it goes both ways. In this extremely oversexualized society in which we live, the pressure's on everyone to lose their virginity because it's supposed to make you cooler or whatever. That's absolutely ridiculous in my opinion. Now, I'm still a virgin but I'll probably lose it to my gf when we meet in five years. I don't plan on losing it any time before that because I would hate 1, to potentially get an STD because she probably will be pressured to do it as quickly as possible without thinking of the risks, and 2, to basically have cheated on my gf. I can wait because I'd rather lose it to the girl I love rather than some girl I know in my town whom I don't care for as much.

i was pressured into losing my virginity by my friends and girlfriend of the time. i wish that i didnt but i did and i honestly should have waited until i knew more about sex

[Voodo]

With some boys there is a sense of competition so in some cases yes

i lost my virginity kind of early and i have regretted it ever since. in order to deal with it i have slowed down and not made myself so available to people for sex, i figured its best to wait until i am in a relationship.

I think it's true that guys are really pressured into having sex. With so many sexual sights and icons on both television and online, it's hard for a guy to not feel pressured to have sex and know what it's like. I went through that when i was in high school, but I never succumbed to it.

My first sexual experience was when I was 18 and I'll admit it was kind of pressured, but I don't regret it since it was with a very good friend who was on the same boat. That and he and i have been friends for like forever; we figured sharing each other's first time with each other would be like sharing games and notes. It was no big deal for us only because we're such good friends.

Yeah sometimes guys r pressured. Ur friends sometimes think your lame because you never have had sex before.

[Liam Peter]

Yeah it's almost a sense of pride, like if you haven't had sex you haven't "earned your stripes" so to speak, so yes

[JamesSuperBoy]

Guys and girls do lots due to pressure = either from friends or in a relationship

just try and be yourself.

[itschilled]

yeah i did do it out of pressure, and i do regret it slightly. The girls at my school dont do any of that stuff, haha all saints, no that theres something wrong with it, but i really want them to change their minds...
