'I'm gay and insecure about my virginity what can I do?'
On this week's 'So You Think You're An Adult', one listener is not sure what to do - about his virginity
'I'm gay and insecure about my virginity what can I do?'
/
The listener's problem
I'm gay and in my mids. I enjoy my life, have great friends and family and all that but I contain always been lacking in terms of romance, so much so that I am still a virgin.
I can't really explain how this has happened.
The last few years I just haven't seen it as a priority to join people in that way but I'm at an age now where I'm starting to feel insecure about it.
The best comparison I can make is that it is fancy learning to drive when you're older.
I'm so much more aware of myself than I was a few years ago and the fact I haven't had sex yet just makes me feel more and more anxious.
COVID has put any possibility of an intimate relationship on hold for a while, but when things go back to normality, I desire to be able to feel more confident and enjoy an active sex life.
I would love your advice on this from listener

Last summer, I had a Damascene moment in Soho Square. My eyes wandered the lengths of intertwined couples&#; bodies as they lay kissing in the grass, my peripheral vision softening to the mass of relaxed, happy gay men, and my heart pounded as it sank. Why? Because I&#;m a gay guy in my late 20s who has never had any kind of intimate relationship. I&#;m not just talking fucking here—I&#;ve never even squeezed another man&#;s hand. I am a complete virgin.
I&#;m quite up and down about the reality of the situation. There are moments where I reflect, I don&#;t care, I&#;ll happily die a virgin, and find fulfillment elsewhere. But the base, primal need for human intimacy, at other times, leaves me crying.
Obviously, it all stems from a lack of confidence. From fear. I am from a very conservative Indian family where relationships—let alone sexuality—were seldom discussed. I remember watching TV growing up and, at the slightest whiff of two people engaging in even the most innocuous act of intimacy—a brush ,
Like a Virgin - A Gay Virgin
Gay virgins verb that it's possible to separate the sex from the sexual orientation
"Honestly, as far as I understand, I'm the only gay virgin in Buffalo," says Michael Empric, 24, who does public relations for the American Red Cross, drinks skim milk, doesn't smoke, loves TiVo and going to the gym, and was chosen as 's "Hottie of the Day" this past February. Empric dated women before he started coming out during his senior year of college, but he didn't have sex with them. "I never made the connection between the strong feelings I had for men and actually being gay," he says. That is, until he did an inventory of his enthusiasms and started doing the math. "I was like, 'Duh. I like shopping, and watching The Golden Girls. There's a pattern here.'"
The pattern of cultural passions that helped Empric come to understand that he is gay doesn't make him particularly unusual. Gay men and lesbians have used Bea Arthur, Barney's sales, mullet haircuts, and U-Haul trucks as touchstones of sexual identity for decades. But for gay people in previous generation
