I think the biggest thing preventing me from accepting "game" and having sex is the values I was brought up with. There's a mental barrier whenever I start escalating sexually with a girl that prevents me from going further. I can just push through the mental barrier, but I'd rather resolve it. So I'm here to get your advice.
I didn't post this in the Newbies forum because I don't want the blind leading the blind lol, even though these might be such "basic" questions for you. Treat me as if I'm your younger brother. I'm new to some things, but am willing to learn. Also, unless you are experienced in relationships/game/sex, or have thought this through these issues a lot, please don't reply to my thread, thanks.
Here are the issues:
1. I am a virgin (meaning no penetration lol). Some people say that virginity is sacred, that it should be given only to someone special, in a deeply committed relationship etc. My parents were very conservative and didn't have sex until marriage, but they're okay with me doing it (though not approving lol). They hope it's with someone I know is safe and who I love though. But I don't see a big reason for abstinence, it just seems ideological, if I use protection, which I always will, and choose girls who aren't too trashy I should be fine right? I mean obv I get horny like everyone else lol. What's the scoop on virginity?
2. Stigma-- I don't want people to be calling me a player, or "that guy who sleeps around". In the community I live in at least, that is a negative reputation. I don't want that reputation in the short term because I think it will make it harder for me to attract the type of girls I like. And also in the long-term when I am looking for someone to marry, I want someone who is very grounded, classy, sensible, smart, etc. I don't know if those types of girls will want to marry a guy who has slept with many women. What's the deal with that? (A side note: Maybe this isn't an issue and many women will think it is okay if I have had sex with only a few different women?)
3. The problem of casual sex-- I definitely do not want to hurt anyone, and I definitely definitely don't want to hurt the girl I am interested in. So I think it might not be fair if I'm only interested in having sex with her once, a very shallow attraction at the physical level, and she is expecting me to be attracted to her own self or is looking for a relationship, and let down by those expectations. What should I do about this? How can I communicate my expectations and resolve it with hers?
Thanks everyone, this is what I hope the first step on basics to get me on the road for healthy and fun relationships with women. You are amazing for helping me. Again, thanks!
1. You're asking a bunch of want to be pick up artists on a forum what the "scoop on virginity" is? No one can tell you whether or not virginity is a big thing, it's completely down to you! It's your body, it's your thoughts. If you went out tonight and had sex with a random girl would you feel regret that your first time wasn't with someone you were in a relationship with?
You don't have to wait to give it up if you don't want to or because society says you should (which it doesn't btw).
2. A true pick up artist doesn't voice his triumphs to everyone. Girls, in general, want to be discreet about having one night stands or who they picked up at a club. So be discreet too. I don't mean secret affairs just don't act like a "player" and you don't have to come across as one. You can be the fun, friendly guy that everyone likes but gets laid like a rockstar behind closed doors.
It will be inevitable that you get female attention after you've worked on yourself and PUA for a while. This attention will most likely get noticed but that won't be a bad thing. Human beings in general want things that we can not have. If a girl sees you laughing, having fun with other girls then she's going to wonder why you're not paying any attention to her and vie for your attention. Also the other girls being with you shows them you aren't creep and that other woman like you so you're preselected to be a prospective mate (in animalistic terms).
In a relationship it would be best not to bring up your sexual history if you've been pretty active but if they truly like you it won't stop them from loving you, wanting to marry you etc. As for if you want a girl that's done the same then again that's for you to answer. Would it bother you that the woman you're marrying has been with lots of guys? Why? At the end of it all it's normally an inner game issue. What if they were better than me in bed? Why am I not so special that she'd only give herself to me? Get over yourself. Also, who's to say that she can't be "classy, sophisticated" etc. after sleeping with a lot of guys? Especially "smart" and "sensible", like those qualities deteriorate the more sex you have?
3. How is casual sex a problem? A PUA should have a philosophy to always be honest. That means you don't go back to theirs, have sex and act like you're all loving, caring and want to form a relationship then never talk to them again. However, if after you've made out with them in the club you make it very clear to them that you're after a good time but nothing too serious and they AGREE (shock horror some girls might just want casual sex too without a relationship) then
no one is getting hurt. You both know what this is, it's casual sex that you both want without any strings attached.
If after talking to them, they don't want that then gracefully part ways and find someone else who does. How do you communicate it? Be honest! Say you aren't looking for anything too serious, you really enjoy the fun you have together and hope it will continue but you'd understand if she doesn't want to continue (best to do this right after you've built a lot of sexual tension).
Hope this helps.
