In a hard-to-believe fit of modesty, sexy funny lady Tina Fey revealed to David Letterman last night that she was 24 before she lost her
virginity and "couldn't give it away." (I'm incredulous about the latter claim — not that she was 24.)
I don't think I know anyone who waited that long, but everyone has her reasons for delaying sex. Honestly, I think being ready to have sex is better than "getting it out of the way" as I hear some people describe their motivations for having sex for the first time.

15....wayyyyyy too young
1I was 14. It was with a girl too. I was really eager to explore my sexuality.
I'm glad I lost it so early. I was raised in a really conservative, sexually repressed household - and this let me escape a lot of that indoctrination. I had a really healthy attitude about it from the beginning.
2god i was probably 19...yah i had just turned 19...i had just graduated highschool...i guess that seems late now but in terms of my highschool we were all kinda the same...no one did much until the last year of highschool....i know times have changed though
but 24 is pretty late...i only know one person older than that...at 26 she hadn't, and she's almost 28 now and i bet she still hasn't...at that point, you just gotta lie about "saving yourself"
322 - and I was one of those who wanted to get it out of the way. People made fun of me for still having it, saying I thought nobody was good enough to give it up. Guys used to go on dates with me hoping they could be the ones to say they took my virginity. I hated it - it became such an impediment (at least to me back then) because guys either wouldn't date me because they didn't want to be my first or they dated me strictly because they wanted to be my first. UGH...looking back, I wish I had not given it up to the guy that I did, but I can't change that.
418, I was in love, we were together for 7 months after that. it was basically a really loving, caring, trustworthy situation which honestly I couldn't have asked for anything better
5I lost it at 26. Yea yea, whatever. LOL. But its really no one's business why someone is a virgin and when they lose it.
6I'm not telling.
7I was 20.
8Wow, go Tina. I was also a late bloomer (also someone outwardly funny/popular/otherwise well adjusted, as I suspect Tina was) and it caused me baggage that took me longer than you might think to shed. I think that there's more than a few people who had experiences similar to Tina's but since nobody ever admits to it, it's considered that much more freakish/taboo. I lost my virginity around the same age as Tina (and didn't repeat the experience very frequently in the immediate months and years thereafter) and if I could have just been confident enough to be honest with earlier boyfriends/dates about it my life (and romantic life) might have been a lot more positive. It can kind of cause a self-fulfilling prophesy. I think the "40 Year Old Virgin", while a verrry extreme example, was on the nose with that - after a while, the longer you wait, the harder it is to overcome the hurdles of your fear - of rejection or doing something "wrong". My (lack of) sex life in my mid-twenties was characterized by a fear of intimacy (unless drunk enough) and the defense mechanism of humor.
(In a happy, very passionate LTR now, though.)

a
lovely
lady.
Also, the video is blocked from my work computer, so I don't have the full context, but assuming that her admission was in response to a question by Dave...just wow. Pretty distasteful in light of his current predicament.
12You know, Sloane. I lot of girls talk about how their first time was painful, but it wasn't like that at all for me. If you are of the lesbian/bisexual persuasion, I'd highly recommend it.
I really loved that girl too. We had every class together, and spent a lot of our first two years of college together too. It was a wonderful learning experience.
13I was 22 or 23. Late bloomer by some people's standards I suppose but it was really irrelevant to me. I was focused on school. Most everyone I knew were in a similar situation. I think it sometimes depends on the people you hand around with growing up.
14Not that anyone cares but I was 19.
1519 and I don't see what the big deal is.

1723 on my wedding night. It's a very personal choice and I'd never expect anyone else to make the same decision. Old fashioned and it was the right choice for my husband and I. We've been together since high school and we made that choice early on. I don't regret it one bit.
1826, soon to be 27, and still a virgin. Whether or not I'm saving myself is moot since I've never had a boyfriend or even been on a date. Also never been kissed...
1921
20Haha.. "or, being homely." She's hilarious =D
2115 and I honestly thought I was going to marry the guy. I didn't... BUT I have no regrets about losing my virginity to him or being so young when I did.
22I was 19, and I lost it to my first boyfriend. We were in a committed (though ultimately doomed) relationship, but I was one of those who just wanted to get it over with.
23I was 21, all my friends teased me about it in highschool but I didn't care. I wasn't going to risk getting pregnant and my mom's sex talk with me answered all my questions and I wasn't curious about it (which i think is the reason most teens have sex young). What's really funny is after I lost it all my friends took me out to celebrate ha-ha. It still gets brought up as a joke every now and then.
24I was 18, and it was awesome! I didn't choose to wait that long, there was just no one available to do it with me
but now I'm glad it happened then. I had a lot of time to think about everything. Also, it happened with the guy I ended up marrying,
so... everything went perfectly fine, I'd say.
25I don't understand why it's such a big deal if someone is a virgin into their twenties.
Me? I'm 21 and still haven't lost it. I'll do it when I'm ready. Right now though I'd rather focus on finishing college and getting my life together.
26I was 18 and I'm still dating the guy I lost it to (I'm 22). It worked out the best way possible, guess I'm lucky
2717, Prom night
With a wonderful guy that I had been dating for 2 years. It was the
first time for both of us. ahhhh memories....
28I am 19 and still a virgin. When I was 14/15 I was dating a guy that I was positive I wanted to lose my virginity too but looking back I am glad I didn't.
29I had just turned 18 and it was to a guy much older to me that wasn't really my boyfriend while watching knocked up. I'm happy to say we've been together for 2 years now.
3017, a couple months away from being 18.
31I lost my virginity at 25 on my wedding night. Couldn't have been a better decision for me. It was for both religious reasons and my own personal convictions. I have an extremely healthy attitude/passion about sex which I think is essential when choosing to wait. I hate when the people that choose to wait view sex as a bad thing versus something worth waiting for.
32Tina is hilarious, I thought her comments were funny. And to your question who really cares when other people lost their virginity?
3315, I was just barely 15 too. Do I regret it? Not one bit. Even though I was young I loved (and love) with such a strong conviction that I knew that it was the right choice. We continued to date for the next four years and I got married at 19 and we're still married now.
3422 and still a virgin. I'm not hurried at all.
35I was 17- I was a freshman in college and lost it to my best guy friend, and now 7 years later, we're still in a wonderful relationship
3619..still virgin, never had a voydriend since i am not outgoing(problms) i havent got any boyfriend...i am not in a hurry toloose my virginity, but i would like to get the first kiss soon
3713, and no regrets. I'm glad I got rid of it early.
38I was either 18 or 19 - I'm not entirely sure which, which sounds TERRIBLE but isn't as bad as it sounds, I promise! My birthday was Saturday and my party was Friday night, and it was very late Friday night that I lost it .. we aren't sure if it was before or after midnight. I go with my 19th birthday to be fair. :]
We're still together and plan to get married when we finish school.
39Well, except the guy maybe. He could have been way cuter
40Just turned 20, still a virgin. Sometimes part of me feels like I should "just get it over with," but I know that deep down it's been ingrained in me that sex is something "special" (even though I've had many boyfriends and friends who have tried to convince me otherwise)
4118. : /
4218 and I lost it to a wonderful guy who is now my finance : )
4314 too young too soon but hey what happens happens
44It was my 15th birthday! And that was over 15 years ago so don't knock it now. It was right for me and he was a few months older. I don't like the expression loosing virginity; if you loose things you can find them again! I prefer to say first had sex.
Sex should be is a shared thing not a given thing.
45I'm 20 and still a virgin. But a lot of my friends are still virgins too, so we're all on the same boat pretty much. While sometimes I just wish I could do it and get the awkward first time out of the way, I know I'd regret it if I did that, so I'm kind of just hoping the right guy comes along sooner rather than later.
4618, in a bathroom at a Halloween party with a complete stranger. It was my first experience with marijuana too. Ppl kept knocking on the door and I felt rather uncomfortable. I also, lost my car that night. Man, the stupid things I did when I was young....
47I was 24 and am sooooooooooo glad I waited. I come from a very oppressive family culture when it comes to women being educated so I had to deal with no emotional support whatsoever just constantly being put down about working my way through college and having goals other than being a SAHM. I didn't want to ruin my dreams by having even the slightest possibility of something going wrong with birth control (it's not 100%) and getting pregnant, so I waited to have sex. Now I'm a college graduate and am currently in medical school . None of this would be possible if a condom breaking or missed pill had resulted in pregnancy. I know I could have chosen to abort if I had had an accidental pregnancy but I have a much clearer conscience not having had to make that decision. Sometimes the stakes are just to high to risk getting pregnant or getting your partner pregnant if you are a man, and it's better to wait to have sex until you are in a life situation where you are better equipped to deal with its consequences.
48I'm 22 and still a virgin. I'm in no hurry. I want my first time to be meaningful.
4915 and no regrets. We ended up dating for almost 3 years. And to be honest I think there is a lot more hype about "the first time" than it really should be. Guess what, yes you always remember your first time, but all the bajillion times after, whether it be with the same person or others, will be a million times better. First time is just awkward!!
