Deflower Arrangement

I'm almost 30 and still a virgin, but not because of religious beliefs. I have strong sexual urges, but I was a really late bloomer (mid-20s), traveled constantly for work and never had a relationship take off. (I'm not into casual sex.) How do I reveal my virginity to guys I date? Won't they think I'm a freak?

Some guys will be weirded out that you're still a virgin, but for many, it's preferable to starting to have sex with a girl and having balloons and confetti fly around and a loudspeaker crackle: "Congratulations, son! There's been quite a bit of traffic in and out of this particular garage, but you're lucky number 100!" Don't announce your virginity on the first date, like it's the most relevant thing about you. Wait till a guy's a little attached, and when the making out gets heavy, explain, "Oh, by the way...late bloomer, blah, blah, blah. Also, I've been saving myself for a virgin sacrifice on the edge of an active volcano." Coolly offering an explanation and even poking fun at yourself suggests that your virginity is just a fluke, not a sign that you have psychological problems or low sexual desire -- or that your pa came out with his shotgun and offed all the other guys before they could, uh, pull into your garage.
