Poor Sexual Relationship

The truth is, it doesn't matter. Virginity is a big, socially-constructed idea that makes us virgins think there's something wrong with us because we haven't had a sexual experience yet. In reality, sex is not everything in life. Sex does not define your career, your education or your relationships with other people.
Virginity is also quite common among adults 18 to 24 in the US, at 53%. After age 25, fewer global adults are virgins (18% of adults 25 to 29, 9% of adults in their thirties, 6% of adults in their forties). For young adults, sex is hard to come by – at least in part because many live with their parents.
Throughout Christian doctrines, the virginity of men and women is paramount for religious observance. For some, maintaining one's virginity is a way of honoring their relationship to God. One needn't look much further than the prevalence of Purity Balls to see how highly we still value a women's virginity.
For early Christians, the virginal ideal was a special way of life in which one dedicates oneself wholly and permanently to God and His kingdom, which was believed to be at hand.

So scientifically speaking, being a virgin once you hit 20 is pretty damn normal for the men and women of my generation. In fact, I surprisingly know 11 women* -- all very normal, functioning, exceptional members of society -- who survived well into their 20s without sex. VIRGINS! In their 20s!
It sucks that you're feeling like an outcast, because the truth is not everybody your age is having sex (even though it may seem like they are). Lots of people haven't had sex by 17, and many more wait until even later. There's nothing weird, unusual, or immature about being abstinent at any age.
According to Healthline, One of the most common physical side effects of being a virgin for too long is decreased sèxual arousal. This is primarily because abstaining from sèxual activity does not allow for a buildup of sèxual anticipation or excitement, which is needed to become aroused.

Welp, you probably shouldn't blurt it out on the first or second date. Some experts say the third date may be the best time to let the person you're dating know you're a virgin because by this time they've gotten a chance to get to know you and they may be thinking of trying to go all the way.
Increased focus.
While abstaining from sex doesn't directly clear your mind, some people feel more able to concentrate on school or work if they're not thinking about sex. Choosing to be celibate frees them from thinking about or planning sexual encounters.
CELIBACY CAN PROMOTE POSITIVE SELF-ESTEEM AND SELF-CARE
