I'm a 26 year old involuntary male virgin. I sympathize with the women; it's getting to the point now where I feel isolated and desperate. It was easy to pass myself off as a late bloomer in my early 20s; now I just feel like a freak.
My shyness and introversion just gets worse every time I even think about the opposite sex now because I'm so hyper-aware of my virginity. I'm not overweight or bad-looking either; I just freak out every time I meet someone mildly attractive.
Now I'm ready to just get it over with; I've finally shed all the romantic bullshit about love and waiting for the right person. Maybe we should have some kind of support/singles group where nervous involuntary virgins can meet. If I could only show my face....
By the way, if women think it's hard to find a partner as an older virgin, think how hard it is for men! I personally know of no women who get excited about having sex with male virgins of any age.
