I am 23yrs and 10 months old and still a virgin. I feel very depressed and anxious. Will this have any harm on my health??
well it's been shown that your emotions can have a huge impact on whether you improve from something or whether you get worse in your health....in fact I remember a story that one of my genetics teacher told me (she is a neurology major) she told us that there was two guys who went to the doctor to get screened for cancer.....one of them did and the other did not have it....except the doctor accidnetally switched the results so the patient that didn't really have it, got told that he did...and the patient that did really have it, got told that he didn't....what happened is that the patient who did have cancer cured his cancer because of the attitude that he had knowing that he really didn't have cancer, and the guy who thought he did have cancer actually got very sick and developed it....no I'm not saying that if you feel really depressed that its going to get to have cancer....and alternatively I'm not saying that how you feel can truely be the only cure for cancer....but this is just an example of how your emotions can play a big role in your health...
Rajiv,
No, it will not harm your health. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin.
It is a far better thing to be a virgin than to have sex with someone just to "lose it." I know todays world seems to push sex all the time but there is a lot more to love and relationships than just the act.
Besides, you also know you don't have to worry about STD's or anything when you do meet that special person.
Good luck and please don't worry.

It has been theorized and some-what proven that women who remain virgins for a long time have a higher risk of getting ovarian and/or cervical cancers. But considering you are still so young, I doubt that you are one of the women who this may affect. Wait until you are ready, or in love, is my advice. If that happens to not come until you are in your 30's, and you WANT intercourse, then go for it. But just use protection!!! And make sure you are mentally prepared for it.
I understand it the other way around breezy22, hence the innoculation called Gardisal.
My "mother" developed cancer at the age of 32. She had a radical hysterectomy. The doctor explained the situation to me as i was privey to her medical records.
She was quite promiscuous back in the day. What would you call it, a floozey, a s***, i don't know. But due to her admiration of the opposite sex, she bedded down with many a man back in her youth. No protection was used as i was told. Multiple sex partners at an early age and continuing thru the years can contribute to cervical cancer.
So dear RAJIV, if you choose to stay a virgin, good for you. There is absolutly nothing wrong with holding on to your virginity for as long as you can.
That just makes your wedding nite (if u still have it ;-)) all the more sweeter.
No reason to feel depressed or anxious as this is the choice that you have made for yourself. It's a wonderful thing.
One day you will meet the man of your dreams and fall madly in love and marry. Now your wedding nite will hold such sweet memories for the both of you. That's nice.

My answer was just based on medical magazines I have read.
ok, i wasn't doubting you, it's just that i understood it in reverse, maybe i'm wrong. :$ [/img]
No! It's alright :-) I mean, if you are having unprotected sex, then of COURSE, your chances for cancer in any reproductive organ (and your chance for getting an STD), are increased significantly. But, assuming that you use protection, I read that not using those organs can also increase ovarian cancer later on. I am, by no means, telling you that you should have sex!!! Maybe don't wait til you're 35. But it is DEFINITELY something that you want to first experience with someone you love, who deeply cares for you too. It's special... truly it is. It isn't something to be thrown away or joked around with! But you are right too, bbfeet9 =]
