Throughout the life of our website under the previous name of Virgin2Virgin.com, we approved many profiles of virgin people who stated that they were shy. The type of "shyness" that they were referring to was the one expressed when they were meeting a new acquaintance. Some of them also mentioned that once they had established a comfort level with the new acquaintances, then they could interact with the other person(s) with ease.

Our experience based on personal observation has been that the type of "shyness" described by our shy virgins is exhibited more by virgin people than non-virgin persons. We ourselves can identify with our shy virgins prior to our marriage. We were both virgins when we got married. Here is an account of some experiences that stand out as a result of being a shy virgin (this is the husband talking). Even though it felt pleasant to be near women around my age, I would get nervous especially with those women who knew I was virgin. By the way, some of these women invited me to go through my "first experience" with them and I kindly objected. Also, when I was asked by my male acquaintances about my intimate experiences with girls, I recall that some of them tried to pursue me to go through my "first experience" when they learned I was virgin. Again, the sole idea got me nervous but I managed to avoid the "first experience" through the years thanks to my "shyness". To avoid pressure in similar circumstances, I told future male acquaintances (who did not know I was a virgin), that I was not a virgin. This time, they did not volunteer to help me go through the "first experience". 

Another impact of my "shyness" was that I was giving the impression that I was not attracted to women when in fact I was really attracted to them. I learned of that impression, after overhearing in several occasions from some men and women that I knew, say that I did not like women or that I was attracted to men. At some point I felt that I needed to prove that indeed I was attracted to women, but the proper time did not come. The years went by and in my early thirties the moment came, but then I was not seriously looking to share my intimate life. It just came. I did not expect to find the woman of my life who happened to be virgin herself. I remember very vividly the moment when I held hands with her for the first time. I did not even dare to look at her when our hands were joined. I was very nervous. I felt for moments that my "shyness" was so overwhelming, but I managed to overcome it thanks in a way that I was sharing that precious moment with somebody else who was also a virgin. Eventually, we got married and then we exchanged the most precious gift in the physical and emotional forms namely, our intimate innocence.

We see nothing wrong with the "shyness" expressed by many virgin people. We see it rather as one of those beautiful assets that is most likely related to virginity.
