Real-life 40-year-old virgin explains real reasons behind why he has never had sex

He took to Reddit to share his experience

The average age to lose your virginity in the UK is 17 years old, but at the ripe old age of 40, one Reddit user is yet to do the deed.

Now, the anonymous man has opened up about his experience of being a real-life '40-year-old virgin,' the real reasons why he's never had sex and that he 'doesn't care' if it never happens.

In Reddit's 'Ask Me Anything' thread, he wrote: "I'm the real 40-year-old virgin, ask me anything. I turned 40 two weeks ago, ask away."

And unsurprisingly, the thread was flooded with comments.

One user asked if the man saw any similarities between himself and The 40-Year-Old Virgin's Andy Stitzer (played by Steve Carell).

In the 2005 film, Andy is an employee at an electronics store whose co-workers set out to help him lose his virginity.

The semi-retired man, who spends a lot of his time travelling, responded: "I really like the movie, plenty of scenes make me crack up. I am absolutely a nerd, I've been retired for several years now so I've jumped into many hobbies.

"My most Andy-like one would probably be Legos, kind of became obsessed for about a year and a half and have since dispersed the collection to my nieces and nephews. It's nice being the cool uncle."

He says that while he's 'open' to having sex, he has no real interest in it.

He also said that his lack of interest in sex dates back to puberty, explaining: "[Around puberty] my friends would talk about girls and I always thought of it from a probability stand point.

"Chances are you aren't going to marry this middle school girl, so why the relationship? Why the dedication to something with such a limited return.

"This mentality went to about college, when I started dating, tried it and didn't really want a partnership with any of the girls so never pushed it further. It's just a switch, I like them then suddenly I don't."

Another user asked: "Asexuality is a thing, do you think you are?"

To which he responded: "Maybe after everyone asking me. I have found many people to be very attractive and have dated quite a few, but it rarely leads to long term interest, so the relationship quickly breaks down."

And, while the man said he is 'open' to having sex, he has 'as much interest in it as learning to ride a unicycle'.

He admitted he simply 'enjoys his own company' and isn't looking for anything more. Honestly, fair enough.
