I waited for an intercourse and this made me feel a whole lot better

Many girls at 18 are still virgins. Virginity is something to celebrate. You only lose it once! Many guys prefer a virgin, but some of those only want the opportunity to deflower a virgin and then move on.

1. What has made you "so relieved"?
2. Why did you think a guy "would run off in terror or something"?
3. What has made you "feel a whole lot better"?
4. What tells you "need a man not a boy"?

I was always insecure about my body and this in particular I was worried about the most. When I was "becoming a women" *cough* i had a lot of question and i was to scared to ask anyone about it, even my mom. But seeing the comments made kind of makes me feel a little better.
The second question can be described by a few word, but if I had to pick it would be. Porn. I thought that I was mutated or something because of how girls in porn look. That's what guy think it's supposed to look like so I just assumed.
The third question ties with my answer to your 1st follow up question. The comments that I read were praising girl like me lol
The 4th question also can be answered by my answer to your 2nd question. * that's a mouth full* boys think that all girls are supposed to look like they just got off the set of a porn!! It seems a man would have a different view on the situation ;)

Not all boys watch porn. I advise avoiding porn altogether, and avoid boys (and men) who watch porn. Porn devalues sex, is addictive, leads to false expectations and destroys relationships. Better to find someone who will accept you for who and what you are before and without inspecting your genitals. Find someone who wants to satisfy you and be satisfied by and with you. Learn together. That is what makes a good marriage. Don't forget that there are many older women who are still virgins, yet are still contented as women.
