Peer pressure is very difficult to combat and as we all grow we make decisions in life, to buy a car, buy a cat, remain a virgin... but at what age do you think others might think it really not a wise move to admit this and more importantly why??????????

Be proud! Be different! Remain a virgin until you are ready.

I know peer pressure can be difficult, but you obviously have you're reasons for remaining a virgin. I think you should never be afraid or reluctant to admit that you're a virgin. I was peer pressured, questioned, and teased for a long time for being a virgin, but the truth is a lot of people admire it no matter what age you are or sex you are. So I would definately not hide that from people that I feel are my friends.

It doesn't matter when you lose your virginity, it's your choice when you do it. Choosing to remain a virgin is a good thing, it shows you are waiting for someone special to have sex with for the first time. That ts a good thing, and also a rare thing to do, it shows you have discipline and respect for yourself.
It's just not advisable to sleep with someone you don't care about.
What's the point in that? So many people have slept with just any person because of their friends, and have regreted it, sometimes we have to do what our friends aren't doing. They are human and make terrible mistakes. We need to use our own minds and stand on our own two feet, and more importanty not worry about the opinions of our peers so much. True freinds will understand if you choose not to do things for a personal reason. If they don't then too bad, and they are not as true as you may think. Friends can get you into the worst situations and they don't always care enough to get you out of them, or they can't even get you out of them even if they tried.
Take care, all the best. And don't worry so much about such things, live life the way you want to live it.

Unless the person you are talking with is the person you plan on being your first, I would never mention it in casual conversation because it would be no one else's business.
I think that is true no matter what age you are.
As to peer pressure, if someone asks either make a joke or just smile and shake your head, whichever makes you more comfortable.
And having made this very personal and private decision why would you care what other people thought?

Personally, I don't see why anyone of any age should feel a need to "admit" to being a virgin. One thing I might also add is that young teenagers often claim they are no longer virgins to appear more "grown up" to their peers. Some lie about it just so they fit in with those claiming to have 'done the deed'.

When I went to uni everyone was asking just that and if you still are at an age like that I dont think people treat you badly but most respect you for it and advise you not to rush into things now as you have waited so long you might as well wait for the right person - Alot of people wish they would have waited and if they are decent then they would not make you feel silly for not having done it yet they should be supportive

We all make choices and have to live with them. We all like to be reassured that we have made the right choices, this is very important. Although it really changes nothing about our own situation, finding something to look down on about another persons choices or situation can make us feel better.
Sadly there are no absolutes. There is no one right way to live. There is perhaps what is right for you, at a certain time.
On the one hand your friends may be doing what we all do: a bit of gentle piss taking usually goes both ways.
On the other hand, maybe you want them to push you in this area as your celibacy may no longer be what you need.
Finally, it has to be said that some of my friends can be relied on to actually want to know how I feel about something and to support me whatever it is.

Well, if they're friends they shouldn't really care if you're still a virgin, but I guess about 20? Just because most people in this country at least (being the precocious things that we are) lost their virginity when they were about 14. I was 18, if that's any help.

Why would you announce to a group of friends that you are or are not a virgin in the first place. It's noone's business but your own!
A teacher I worked with announced it to us once in the playground. The teachers were standing around freezing and saying nothing and she just told everyone she was as pure as the day God made her. She was just about to retire and noone knew what to say, so they started talking about the weather instead!!!

If you admit it at any age you will prob find out that others are too. It is acceptable to wait. Rather that than be the 15 year old who gave birth in class on Monday - disgusting!!
