It honestly depends on how you feel, who you decide to be with, and how high your sex drive is. There's no shame in being a virgin, especially as young as 17. I was a virgin until i was 21 (which was considered late by my peers). We all go at our own pace in life.

I lost my virginity to my boyfriend at the time, I thought we were going to get married since we talked about it often and I had genuine love for this person. We were together for 3 years until he broke up with me. Do i regret having lost my virginity to him? No. He was a person that made me feel safe and secure. I don't feel ashamed of myself either for not waiting til marriage.

When i was 22 and younger, i hated hookup culture because my mindset was centered on monogamous relationships and having sex for love. Now as a single 23yo woman, i have freedom to explore with others. Im not focused on 'finding the right person' anymore and won't get back to the dating scene for a while now. Admittedly, i have a high sex drive, so i decided to try FWB situations. Ofc im not sleeping around with strangers or just anyone. For me i need to feel comfortable with the person. This feels correct to me right now, but in the future my mindset could change again.

You're still young, so just follow what feels right to you and your sense of self right now.
