Now I'm aware when you're young it's not that big of a deal at all, but when you're over 25 a male and still a virgin it can feel like it can be used against you.

As a 30 year old virgin I've especially felt like this could be used against me and I've had an experience where I was utterly rejected because of my lack of sexual experience. I personally thought honesty would be best but when that happened I started to wonder..

Now at present I'm NOT looking for a relationship until I squash my virginity problem so ideally I'd like either a friend with benefits or a one night stand so how much does prior sexual experience matter to people for that?

Should I really just keep my mouth shut about it or even lie?
