I’m a 34 year old virgin – this is the best thing

No collision? No luggage.

A 34-year-old virgin insists she is “happy” with her single status and would rather remain single than sleep with the wrong man.

Lauren Harkins, of Portland, Maine, said abstinence gave her a benefit that most women her age didn’t: She was freed from emotional trauma or “baggage” from past relationships.

“I’m not really bothered or embarrassed by it,” she told Caters. “If anything, I’m grateful because I know I’ve escaped a lot of problems and chaos along the way.”

In fact, Hackens finds casual sex “disgusting” and is “proud” that she never gave in to “ending it all.”

She’s waiting for the perfect one, explaining that she needs a “strong emotional and mental connection” with a man to achieve a physical connection – something she has yet to find.

“I believe casual sex is more emotionally damaging than people think, and that lifestyle just didn’t appeal to me in any way,” she said.

“I would like to experience the intimacy of a relationship when the time is right, but it’s not something I’m rushing into. I feel very happy and content with myself at the moment.”

Hudgens, who has more than 11,000 followers on Instagram, declares that she has “been without a boyfriend since birth” and regularly shares her experiences as a chronically single woman traveling the world without restraint.

“It’s always been something that I’ve been very open and willing to share, and I’m proud that I’ve never done anything with anyone just to do it or end it,” she said.

While her lifestyle may be unorthodox to some, she says there are benefits to being single: She has “no baggage.”

She also doesn’t “experience attraction” very often, and while she’s open to the prospect of having a long-term partner, she’s not interested in getting married or having children.

“My intention in life was not to be a 34-year-old virgin, but dating has never been a priority for me,” she explains.

“I knew I wasn’t ready in my teens and twenties, and it wasn’t until my thirties that I began to accept the possibility of not being single.”

She added: “Everyone moves to the beat of their own drum and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.”
