I'm a 20 yr old male that has never smoked, consumed any alcohol, never had a girlfriend, and have never even kissed a girl. My slightly younger brother is the same way, except he has never cursed in his life (I rarely do). We both have extremely strong consciences for some reason and there is just no way of shaking that off. It has nothing to do w/ being religious because we are both atheists. I'm thinking it's bad to the point where I need help, but I don't know. Are there any actual benefits to being prude or am I just stuck being a freak?

My, my, my, my! The attributes that you have described are not weird or freaky. You are probably not alone but because of television, rock stars, and the media young people are made to believe that they are different if they are not doing drugs, doing someone, etc.
What is important is to value yourself and not worry about what others think. Be proud that you do not need alcohol or drugs to enjoy life. It could be that you have a solid family life and that has made it possible for you to have not been sucked into the harmful addictions that destroys people.
As far as relationships with girls.........there will be lots of girls out there in the same boat that you are......never been kissed nor had intercourse. A lot of people tend to spout off experience just to sound what they think is cool and not nerdy but if truth be told you would be surprised to discover everyone else is just as ignorant about the opposite sex as you.
Most girls will honestly say that they wish they had waited instead of being sexually active........following the crowd because they were not emotionally or physically ready........let alone maturely.
Focus on getting involved in things that you like and where you are able to meet other people of the opposite sex and relax and enjoy the good things in life.
It is sad that the "Age of Innocence" is so disappearing and children are learning and experiencing things that totally eradicates childhood.
Be proud of who you are and what you are.
I hope this helps you. BFN

Live your life the way you want to, don't worry, you are on the right track to becoming an adult. I wish there were more young men like that, where I live it's all talk and no action. Men, in my personal experience, need to be mature before they can consider themselves grown up.

You will avoid lots of trouble with this lifestyle, but also miss lots of good things.
