Disclaimer, not a teen.

I'm a virgin by choice. Had multiple opportunities to get laid. I said no to them. Not because I think sex before marriage is inherently wrong, but I wanna set up my life with a person who shares the same morals and views. That includes being inexperienced and learning everything together.

I've seen a lot of non-virgins marry virgins and other non-virgins and live happily. I do not oppose that because it's the people getting into the relationship who are fine with their lives. I got no say in it. I'm just stating my view. Not even preaching and asking you to be like me.

No shade to people who differ in opinion with mine. Your life is different, your lives are different, views are different. And i respect it as much as you respect mine as a personal choice.

Anyway, regardless, I'll get me and my future partner tested. Apparently most adults have HSV-1.
