I know the original will probably get deleted, so I’m just going to paste this here.
The original context was a young woman asking for relationship advice when her boyfriend wanted to have sex and she wasn’t ready yet.
Assuming that you are in your early 20s (as listed in your other post)
If you want to remain a virgin and your boyfriend wants a relationship with sex, then you are not compatible, and yes the relationship will probably end.
> I kind of like being a virgin
> it’s not even like “oh I’ll be ready soon,” I genuinely don’t know when I’ll be ready
You may be asexual.
> how do you even know when you’re ready? it’s not something you can undo
There was a time I had never tried Thai food, and then I tried it and realised I liked it, so now I eat Thai food regularly. I don’t think about “who I was before I had Thai food”, it’s not like I lost anything by having a new experience.
But if you don’t want to have sex and you don’t think you ever want to have sex, you should tell prospective partners that you’re asexual. It means “I don’t want sex” vs “I just haven’t tried it yet.”
The Thai food metaphor, in particular, I find very apt. Sex isn’t particularly special; it can be risky; it can carry extra religious or cultural weight; but in the end, it’s just another experience, one that you are free to try or not try, as you wish.
