It would be helpful and enlightening to get to know our readership in more detail so I have the following question I'd like to ask all our members (especially the ones that never normally speak up!) :

How many of you out there have no intimate touch experience at all?

That means (as the subject states) that you've never had a girlfriend, never been asked out, or been able to ask a girl out, never hooked-up, never been in a drunken kiss/sex situation, never hired the services of a sex worker, never mistletoe or new-year kissed and, in fact, never touched by love except by close family members?

Perhaps you could describe a situation in which you came very close to intimacy or had an attraction for a girl who never knew of it.

(No terms like "Love-shy" or "Incel" or other grand theories here.)

Don't be shy guys(!) and after all, this Forum is named after you.

So far:
firebird85, Neo, I'll allow Alone4Life (rulebreaker!), He.Gives.Speeches, Simon, Stillwell80, stone, Lake, subnormal, quietguy, Kevlar Eater, Restart80, Mr. Anxious, dawg1157, Joshua

That's me. and if the opportunity came up, I am so extremely shy it would have to be at an exact perfect moment.

I'm not even close to family members. I've never even kissed my own mother on the cheek, ever.

I've been in a drunken kiss/feel situation before as a teenager and in college that never escalated to sex. My self-protect at all costs monitor was active even with alcohol in my bloodstream. In answer to another thread I'd indicated I reached 3rd base: as long as third base means touching home plate, (and home plate was wearing jeans ). However in reaching 3rd I rounded 2nd and missed the bag(s).

But realistically speaking, in terms of experience, it happened so long ago it's like it happened to someone else.

Did I use enough emoticons in that response??

That described me perfectly up until '03.

Ultra virgin at your service

I'd like to know your story, actually monkey. I don't know anything about you. I would trawl through your old posts, but annoyingly there isn't a "show all posts" button for users on this forum...

Here ya go nigga. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_%28 ... ot_summary

Btw your sig is too long.

Got me a flat screen monitor, 40 inches wide!

I believe that yours says "Etch A Sketch" on the side?

Heh, I'll change it mate. Didn't realise it'd stretch the H bar.

Hur Hur Rask!
Let's keep the focus on the topic

No girlfriend, kiss or romantic contact. Have never been able to ask a girl out. Have been asked out but too shy and anxious to reciprocate.

Never had a girlfriend
Never had a girl interested in me
Never had sex
Never did anything remotely sexual
Never kissed a girl

I have hugged a few non-family females though, does that disqualify me from your list?

That's me in a nutshell

I'm nearly 28, virgin, loveshy, incel, and Aspie. Nothing even close to a girlfriend. No kisses. Nothing. I have tried to ask girls out, but was shot down every time. I have female friends, and they all say I'm such a sweet guy, but 'I don't think of you in that way'. While they, of course, go out with some jock douchebag who treats her like garbage. It's giving me an inferiority complex. I mean, am I that horrible? I've been told I'm a nice guy, funny, pleasant, smart, caring, but that hasn't made anyone want to be my girlfriend. I have hugged non family member girls, but not in a sexual way. In a platonic way.

nothings

^Gee, its worse than I thought. I'm one of the older ones here! I think if you're 19 and incel, its OK. You still have plenty of time to change your position. I thought i had plenty of time when I was 19, too. But fast forward to today, and I'm still in the same position. It went by in a flash. I went through high school and college, and now work, without ever having a girlfriend. I've tried approaching some girls, but only recently, I was far too frightened to in school or college. They still laugh in your face though. It gets harder as I get older.
