I think it's good and healthy to be virgin, so if you want to stay virgin for any particular reason, feel free to contribute to this thread. Those who aren't virgin but would like to participate are invited to share their own perspective or experience, as long as it encourages the 'challenge'. I think we could share our own respective journey and exhort one another to purity, power and serenity, and marriage. Here's my thread on the deceit of pre-marital sex
I would like to participate if I can. I am still a virgin in the sense I never got anyone pregnant that I was made aware of despite some risky behavior here and there? Come on man I value all that stuff in your post, and check this out:
Why no kissing or "inappropriate" touches? That's just exhausting, but I agree with keeping virginity intact until marriage to some degree.
NO kissing on lips/neck/covered parts* and NO inappropriate touches (genitals area, breasts for ladies, neck). I only kissed girls on cheeks to say hello and some would kiss me slightly before my mouth, and I hugged one once (what a foolish thing lol). So that's it
There is lust that might be triggered and hugging is one of those triggers, I speak from experience because I foolishly went to hug that girl during sport when I was in highschool, and I can say it was just out of lustful deceits. That girl like some others was teasing me a little often. And during that 'hug' I felt her body against mine for like 2 seconds and right after I got an erection. I'm not being over-sensitive, I'm just being accountable and I know it was wrong especially regarding my particular wish.
I think you have the definition of "virgin" more than just a bit warped... You seem to have centred the criteria of the challenge around your own life. Have you found any challengers yet? (I'm not volunteering myself by the way)

I am 26, male and virgin. My Catholic beliefs kept me virgin so far and I am proud and happy of it. On the other hand it starts to burden me more and more. Maybe it is because last 2,5 year I was without a girlfriend and getting more and more into porn. I have thoughts like it's not worth waiting anymore, as the likelihood to have virgin fiancee and future wife is getting lower. I am not sure how will I act when I will start meeting someone again. Happy to share thoughts with you guys and loads of support for your challange!
Nice, keep growing in the faith. Before giving him Eve, God first dealt with Adam alone when he was cultivating the garden, as well just cultivate yours man. It will be OK. God knows the grief of the loneliness of the man, that's why, if you want it, He will probably bless you in due time anyway. For a virgin 20 something fiancée, try meeting Singaporeans maybe, Singapore has the highest first sexual encounter by age on average at 20 something years old. But even in western areas, odds are still good, 50-50 I would say. God bless you.
They're a poor example of being "Christian" if they are, I don't want to fool around with girls. But I somehow can understand them, since probably every girl down here is wicked for rationalized lustful deceits, they just do their little games in that pacified whoredom of the west. It's sickening.
