You wouldn't think a 40-year old virgin woman has issues? I beg to differ.

OV, your biases are showing. A woman who hasn't had sex at 40 has almost given up her ability to reproduce, which IS a conscious driving force in women to varying degree.
Such a woman has issues, believe it. That or she has discovered the world's best vibrator & isn't letting anyone else know about it.

I think the overwhelming majority of people who haven't been able to connect with at least one other person on a meaningful level by the time they are 40 are definitely suspect. I would guess they most likely have serious commitment issues (Sorry CAM) or they are religious to excess. Are there exceptions? Probably, but my warning signals would definitely be going off.
If they were male and handsome, I would guess gay.

Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?
Well, Gigabitch, twenties would definitely be too young. I've been getting messages from nice, pleasant, grandmotherly women in their fifties, but I'm hoping for someone in her mid thirities to early forties.
I know better than to hope for a movie star, especially in my mid-forties. Just someone cute to average-looking and around medium weight.
And I don't think I'm being too choosy, although I don't want to have to close my eyes and imagine either. After all, I think that first time is supposed to be magic and exhilarating, not a chore.
Maybe I'm making too much of it, but after fantasizing about this for some 30 years now, this is really deeply important to me.
And thanks for the suggestions, IndiReloaded. Those are some of the things I'd suspected myself. I've had a few respondents on AFF accuse me of making my story up, although it's hard to imagine why anyone would make up such a thing.
But Bluesummer actually got it right, I've been socially inept since my early teens. I'm still a bit unsteady on my feet in social situations, but I enjoy getting out and meeting people now.
Anyway, thanks for the input everyone!

Actually, you might be surprised about the masturbation thing, Indi. Since getting into my forties, the old libido ain't what it used to be. At this point, I think I'm driven more by the desire to finally experience my lifelong ultimate fantasy than by actual lust.
Ironic, isn't it? My desire to finally find this one life-altering experience has been intensifying even as my libido is fading. What a funny old thing life can be...

dude i don't see how being a virgin is a problem. I just don't see why it matters. You are thinking too much into this.
