The Last of My Kind

By: Aaron G ( Little_person View Profile)

I’m a virgin. That is so easy to say when the people that you are telling can only read my remark instead of actually hearing the words being uttered from my mouth. There once was a time that I was proud of this, but now it’s becoming a burden. I have seen what has happened to some of my peers when they admit to being a virgin: the constant teasing, bantering, and humiliation they have to put up with. I wouldn’t be able to endure it so I lie.

Every single time a girl has asked me to grant them sexual pleasure I come up with some kind of false story as to why I can’t have sex with them. I want to save myself so that the first and last person that I will ever have to give myself to will be my wife; I’m hoping that God will give me a woman who has kept herself for me, but everyday it becomes harder and harder to withstand the temptation.

It’s hard for me to have female friends because they all seem to want what I can’t give them. The day I felt the lowest is when I had to deny three of my female friends, each and every one of them called me gay, and made other derogatory statements about me. Sometimes I wonder if I have chosen the right path to follow, or would it be ok just this one time to be like everyone else.

Hey Aaron, My bestfriend & I had this conversation like...yesterday! Shes still on the "V" team & feel like its getting old,but I told her that it's something that she should be proud of. There aren't many of those left...especially not in college. Its sad that the world have turned it around to be a negative thing. Society has made it so that virgins hang their head in shame while the rest of us sinners go around bragging about something that we really shouldn't be proud of. I think that from now on you should just keep it real. You shouldn't be ashamed for who you are and what you believe in.

Aaron! I commend you for your adherence to virtue as that is such a rare quality these days. It is refreshing reflecting upon your words and the power you possess as a person. Stay true to you, my friend and great things will come your way.

Aaron, I did the same thing as you. Saved myself for my one true love, my eternal companion. He did the same for me and I am so thankful for that. We now have a wonderful marriage without wondering if either of us add up to past partners. Keep it up. If it get's hard don't lie, tell them flat out you won't and why and be proud of yourself. It's worth it, self respect. If they call you gay, they have no respect for you. And a friend always should. Keep it up!

In my opinion, I believe you are doing a wonderful thing. It is alot harder to not give into what everybody else wants you to do. And to hold strong to YOUR beliefs. I Know it can not be easy. I am a 23 yr. old single mother. I wish I would have had half the determination you have. But it is too late for me. You on the other hand; are doing Right. Don't stress so much on the hateful comments others have to say. They are most likely hating on you because they feel guilty themselves. These people do not care about you. Otherwise, they would respect your decision. Don't give up! God is with you and will always be. When you feel over burdened just ask God to get your mind off it. He won't let you down. Plus you need to know your mom is right! On all she said, espescially the love you will get from a woman if you just wait. Take care... Jenni

Hi Aaron, I am so proud of you, and I am so glad that God has given you the will power to stay humbled before him. It is a blessing that you have devoted yourself to staying healthy and clean. There are so many sicknesses in this world, many issues like STI, STDS, HIV/AIDS just to mention a few. The young ladies that wanted to have sex and you said, NO... Thank God! You do not have to push the issue. Stay happy, they are unclean and have no self- respect or self control. Thank God, that you blew them off with words of wisdom. I want to keep my self for my wife. If they could not see the respect from you, and your friendship then they do not deserve your friendship. Hang in there son, you can do it!. God will grant you your request, and bless you with a women who have good morals as well. God fearing, smart, loving, a good cook, and passion, and understanding. A women who will love God first, because if she loves God, she certainly will love you honestly and for real! MOM

I was married twenty-five years when my husband passed into the next world, it is twenty-five years since he passed and I have not been with another man since. There are many people who survive without sex and we are normal, giving, creative people. There are more of us then people think and it's our terrible society that makes us think there is something wrong with us when there is something wrong with society. There are many people out there working to change things, look at EWTN, on Direct TV "Life on the Rock" that show teaches people to wait until they marry. In fact the other night on Hallmark Channel there was an ad where young ones wanted their parents to tell them to wait until marriage. The times they are a changing and you'll be more the norm than those who have sex with many partners before marriage. Free love didn't work, everyone knows it, more divorces and problems than before it came into existence. We are human beings not animals who can't control sexual urges

Dear Aaron, how refreshing to hear that you are a virgin, That is rare, and unique. Understand that you are not wierd but the exception to the rule. If everyone followed God's law, there would be many more testimonies like yours. Know that of a surety. because you have kept yourself, GOD is pleased. And what does it matter what any man or woman thinks! You are one who have obeyed God's will and law in that area. So Please, do not be ashamed. Pray and ask God for the type of woman that you want. He can and do have a virgin girl for you. He has no shortgages. If he has to bring her from across the world, believe me he will do that. I only admonish you to obey him in all things. Love him with all your heart! Aaron he is a faithful God, he will bless you. My prayer for you is that God will give you the desire of your heart. and that you will remain true to God. who is to say, if God will use your life as a ministry to others to remain pure until marriage. Hold On!

All of these woman want you because your quality and then when you deny them what they want they feel bad and resort to petty name calling. I love that you are saving yourself, it will be so much more special for both of you. Even if you don't wait until marriage, wait until you are in love and it feels right. Stay true to yourself, its making your the amazing person you are.

"And this above all, to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." —Polonius's advice to Laertes, Hamlet

There is nothing to be embarassed about, I think any woman would be very happy to have a man who is as pure as you. Follow your heart, but also don't be afraid to change your mind if you decide you want to. In my opinion, there's also nothing wrong with lying about your private information, or just keeping it private. And what other people think about you really doesn't matter. I know it may feel like it does but it doesn't. Also, who cares if people think you're gay? People have thought I'm gay, and i tell you the truth, sometimes I wish I were!
