Embarrassed to Admit to Being a Virgin
Q from a Female, Sophomore student at UConn:
Why are guys embarrassed to admit to being
virgins?
Dr. Caron's Response: We give many, many
social messages to boys as they are growing up to
be competent, to be knowledgeable, and to be in
charge - in such areas as sports, social
performance, etc. Thus, in this way, young men
assume they are supposed to know and be competent
in everything - even in sexual matters - before
they have the experience. Everyone is a beginner
sometime. There is a first time and that can be
very special.

American teens have the worst of all
worlds...Our children are bombarded and confronted
with sexual messages, sexual exploitation, and all
manner of sexual criticism. But our society is by
and large sexually illiterate. Faye Westheimer
