JD24_7,
physically, if you wish, I was a virgin when I visited an SP. I simply told the SP that it was my first time, that I might be inexperienced in practicum, and that all feedback were appreciated.
In that session, I had probably a total of 10 minutes of sexual intercourse.
In reality? I had dozens of HJs, BJs, 1-on-1 sex, ménage à trois of many varieties: playful, passionate, forced, to downright frightening. All these happened in my countless dreams long before the first "physical" deed. Were they any less real? Not to me, because in some of the dreams I could control them; while I couldn't control the others, I was at least aware that I was dreaming, so I would simply "wait & see".
Does it matter to me that I paid (I think it went over my budget though...

) to lose my virginity? Not at all. I don't feel any different afterwards, to say the least. To me, virginity doesn't mean much, but is simply a label for people who love to use it to make others or themselves feel one way or another. Those who like the label are absolutely welcome to keep it. We all have different ways of living.
I am around your age. I don't think I am shy, but I am quiet. I don't have a gf either because I don't want to have one nor do I feel any need. Visiting honest, fun, and skillful SPs with mature minds and wisdoms is always an experience I will never forsake, bar non-sufficient fund.
Hope you will have a great time!
