I read Colleen Shea's column Friday, and she wrote about how she is a college sophomore and still a virgin. So what? Still having your V-card is not something to be ashamed about. I just got married this summer. I was a virgin until my wedding night.
I am very thankful that I held out for her because when it's with someone you really care about, that's when sex is special. That's actually an understatement. I have had several friends who are girls who have in the past been stressed because they are still virgins. They were virgins as long as they were because they wanted it to be with somebody special, but they got tired of waiting after a while and ended up losing it to guys they really didn't care about.
From all of the people I've talked to about that kind of situation, I have learned one thing clear as crystal: Don't settle! Everyone says that sex is so overrated when you really don't love the person. They regretted it when they didn't. I love my wife, oh, so much, and I could not have imagined sharing that with anybody else. Take it from a guy who waited for that right person. Don't settle, find somebody who means that much to you, and hang on to and be proud of your V-Card until then. V doesn't have to be your scarlet letter; it should be a trophy.
