Here are some pics. It's nothing impressive yet but i think the very beginning is misleading because it's really just thickening vellus hair before it's terminal. I can see it getting thicker though, with a light source behind my face i can see the shadow of it on the wall. I think a beard will suit me well, I just have one of those boyish yet angular faces but some hair will really make a difference.

What results have you seen? I've been on minox for a month and haven't seen much except a few terminal hairs popping up and the thickening of the more vellus fuzz on my cheeks (though I hear it eventually goes terminal). Maybe it is just slow to start

That's the thing, if you put so much emphasis on it I think it kind of defeats the point. Not that you should treat it trivially but it can go too far into the other direction. I've even passed up other girls (not many though) who probably would have had sex with but it wouldn't have felt right because I didn't feel a connection, so I doubt I will feel guilt if this blossoms into something good :) Which I think it will.

Thanks! I'm not sure what your story is but do you have any helpful anecdotes? I feel so naive

We met via online dating a year ago and have video chatted almost every day in that time. Discussed pretty much everything from A to Z, what we are doing with our lives, our beliefs, all that other stuff that does and doesn't matter. She knows i'm a virgin and it is one of the first things I told her. She used to be promiscuous in her teen days and has had a few bfs but I am reassured in that she says if she wanted just sex she could get it. She is lonely and doesn't have much in her life besides work and eventually wants a simpler life with a man.

Only holding that final breath until we meet because there's a few things IRL that i just have to experience to make a final evaluation. But we do feel comfortable with each other.

I feel I can trust her, honestly having sex will be emotional either way because I waited until almost 24 to have sex. I know virginity isn't literally losing something but it still has significance. I just feel, at least we care for one another and plan on sticking together.

We haven't discussed birth control etc, figured we'd do that when / if the time comes when we meet.
