>>784482553Yep, 100%. I was socially crap when I was younger and only started to sort my shit out late 20s when I started hitting gym, losing weight etc and started to build confidence. Problem was though, despite being horny all the time and improving socially with women, the fact I was a virgin was very much holding me back.
So, went out one night with some friends, got pretty drunk and on the way back with my best bud, he suggested we say fuck it and hit the prozzy district. Picked up 1 each and went back to their shared flat (I know right) and had some fun.
Won't lie. Wasn't the best ever. Funny bonding experience shagging for the first time while my friend (who had zero problems pulling tbh) nailed his one in the other room. Despite this though, I enjoyed myself, realised that it wasn't a particularly big deal and yeah, it made a difference.
Shortly after, I ended up with my first girlfriend that then turned into a 5 year relationship with a good (and kinky) sex-life. That died a death a few years ago after it run its course (lovely girl, but we weren't really compatible so I ended it) and I've had some fun since and not been in a rush to get back into a relationship since. Despite that though, I get laid.
So tldr for late virgins out there. Yeah, it can help lift a cloud of worry that might be holding you back. It's not the Disney way of doing it but there's a reason why it's the world's oldest profession. Good luck.
