I am 20 yrs old and I have never had sex. But when I was 14, I masturbated via running water in the bath tub ( no need for details), and of course I had an orgasm, well I think it was. Anyway, I am saving sex for marriage, but since I have masturbated a few times does this not make me a virgin? Thank you all so much for your answers. I know I am 20 and that I should know what a virgin is. Its just that I was talking with someone and they said that masturbation is like having sex. And since I am waiting, I was worried by this comment. And of course I am really 20, no I am not a 45 yr old fat man who is being perverted. I am just asking a gunuine question that has been bothering me, and thanks to all of you I feel much better knowing what other people think about masturbation. I grew up taught it was firty (when to a catholic school)... so thank you all for reassuring me that its healthy:)
