Alright, so I (39, m) am a virgin. I've never even been in a sexless romantic relationship before. Naturally, I don't want things to stay that way, but it puts me in a bind.

I've heard lots of women say they don't want to have sex with a virgin, especially an older virgin like me. So what should I do? Naturally, I don't want to volunteer that information, but what do I do when they ask about past number of sexual partners? Should I lie or try to dodge the question? How do I do that without seeming cagey?

If I do manage to sleep with a woman, should I just assume that the first five or so women I have sex with will never want to talk to me again?

What should I do in general? Hire a prostitute? Give up on ever finding someone? What?
