Is being a virgin a turnoff for girls in college

Bolded mine.

Well...I mean if that's literally the only way you've experienced it yourself, that's a pretty bold statement.

True. But we don't necessarily have to experience something first hand to make a reasonable conclusion about it. It seems pretty obvious that sex under the pressure of trying to perform well and not letting it be obvious that it's your first time, lest your partner ditches you, doesn't sound all too great. At least not as great as the non awkward sex you have with someone who knows you and cares about you, and vice versa.

Sure...but plenty of people can feel the pressure to perform even with someone they've been close with for a while.  Some might say they feel even more pressure because it's someone they care about deeply and want to perform for.  

My first time was with a girlfriend of a year and a half, both of us were virgins, both of us were nervous and awkward - and to be honest neither of us could tell if we 'performed' because it was literally both our first times.

But hey, different strokes for different folks.  I just find that guaranteeing one method over another (when you only really get one 'first time') is a little wonky.

If people want to wait until they're married after years and years of being in a relationship, more power to them. If they want to go to vegas and hire an escort, go nuts (just use protection).
