I'm 22, and my virginity had pretty much been my ultimate insecurity. I was very confident about the majority of my abilities and characteristics, but being a virgin was something that really got to me deep down. I had moments where I thought I was never going to be able to experience sex, and these feelings sometimes put me into a spiral of depression that negatively affected every aspect of my life. Thing is, I'm objectively good on paper -- athletic, decently attractive, and social -- so I knew that there must be something wrong with me.

Anyways, I decided that I really want to stop worrying about this aspect of my life, so I really started to step up my Tinder game in the past few months, to the point where I was going on a date with a different girl every week. Last last Sunday, I matched with a cute girl in town for the week, and we met up in a mall. She was incredibly innocent looking, didn't drink or party, so I didn't think I was going to even get a kiss out of her. We walked around and explored, having a friendly but not very flirty conversation. After an hour or so, I asked her if she wanted to go hang out at my place, and she agreed. After cuddling and watching a movie for a bit, we started making out, and end up having sex. We hooked up a few more times before she went back home.

Exactly a week after I meet that girl, I meet a different girl from Tinder. She's gorgeous, and the moment I saw her, I knew that I wanted her. We meet up near the river, and take a scenic walk for a bit. She seems to be having a great time from the very start, laughing at all my jokes and touching me on occasion. It starts to rain, so we head to a coffee shop to grab a drink. After maybe 20 minutes max, I ask her if she wants to chill at my apartment and she comes along. We drink some craft beer and sit on my bed chatting for a bit. Then, I go in for the kiss. We make out, get naked, and fool around for a while, and just hang out for the rest of the day. The next day, we have sex and watch a movie afterwards. I saw this girl again this week, and we made plans for the weekend as well.

Losing my virginity itself wasn't a huge deal, but it really helped take a huge weight off of my shoulders. For a very long time, I was VERY insecure about it, and I put a lot of pressure on myself to lose it. However, now that I no longer have to worry about it, I can be a lot more comfortable in my skin. Not to mention, with Tinder, I can finally have a feeling of abundance mentality, because I meet on average a new girl every week from it. No matter how thirsty my situation is, it's only a matter of time before I meet a new girl because of it.
