OK I know I am here for completely selfish and shallow reasons, but I know I am not the only person on this site for these reasons. Maybe I could get some ideas on how to make my profile seem more appealing?

Your profile is what it is. Don't think you need to make it any clearer, lol. In fact, please don't.

To be honest, I'm not sure what the point of you getting a profile review is. If you're only looking for sex then you're hardly looking to sell yourself to a woman with an eye to the future.

But I'll work with what you have...

You have one picture and you look completely miserable. I'm assuming any woman who is here for sex is looking for a man to have a good time with. You look like you won't be much fun at all. Get those teeth out and smile! Get a few pics, not just the one, preferably in more than one situation.

I'm not 100% on the etiquette for intimate encounters but I suppose if you fill out more detail in the interests section, ie. with things like oral sex, virginity etc etc, I guess you'll turn up in more searches.

You're a virgin - I can guess that most women aren't going to be interested in that. To counteract this you really need better photos and a lot of enthusiasm in your profile to make a woman believe you might be worth hooking up with. Try and write a little more about yourself.

Other than that, there's not much advice I can offer. I would assume trying to get sex here is basically about selling your looks and experience - since you have no experience you really need to get some decent pictures.

Hi Okstate….Kitten gave you some good advice. It’s nice that you’re honest. As I’m sure you know, some ladies don’t mind/enjoy/seek out guys who are virgins. On the other hand, many of the same ladies know that guys lie about their sexual experience (or lack thereof).
A few suggestions…
1) Ladies like intelligent men….even for sex. They often learn faster, try harder, know AND practice safe sex, yada yada yada.
2) Right now your profile is pretty devoid of intelligence….it’s I want sex, oral would be fine and more is okay, too. That isn’t appealing to most women….even women who want sex.
3) Most ladies want classy guys attached to the other end of the plumbing.
4) Smart ladies are careful. She doesn’t know if you’re a flake, a perv, or what she’d be getting into by answering an email from you.
5) So talk about yourself as you would in a “conventional” profile,
6) Talk about what you’re studying in school, what your interests are, what are your OTHER goals besides having sex?
7) Maybe you can advertise VIRGIN4U as your name or headline. You'd have to see if POF allows it. While it would turn off a lot of women, the lady you’re hoping to attract might be attracted to it. Right now she has no clue of your sexual status until she reads your profile.
8) Alternatively….you can expand your horizons and try Dating. You might find the emotional connection adds to the sexual connection….or not…..it’s your profile and your choice.
9) Whatever direction you go….ADD PHOTOS including at least 1 full body shot. The single photo of your sad face doesn’t work.
Best to you…and be careful what you wish for….you might get it and then some. Six months from now you don’t want to find yourself itching and saying to a former “date” .....”Gee, thanks for sharing”. DenverSky5280

p.s. – BEEEEEP! We interrupt this broadcast for a SPECIAL PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Herpes can be spread EVEN WHEN the other person is NOT having an outbreak. Many people are not aware of this. Many people are CARRIERS and don’t know they are carriers. Start reading up on STD’s. There are many gifts that keep on giving and are wonderful to receive….Herpes isn’t one of them. End of Pubic ...uh... Public Service Announcement.

p.p.s. -- 2nd ANNOUNCEMENT...estimates are (per Google search 1 second ago)...1 out of 4 women in the U.S. are affected and 1 out of 5 men.

Well, you are sure up front with it. I don’t think that things have changed a lot in this regard since I was your age. As I remember, a young girl could get sex just about anytime she felt like it so my gut is telling me that not many are coming on this site searching for it. Better bet would be those bars around campus. Last time I was there those places were full of young chicks.

Other than those comments, follow the advice already given.

ALSO KNOW THAT CONDOMS ARE NOT 100% PREVENTION!!!!

THIS WOULD SEEM TO SAY THAT THE LADIES ARE MORE PROMISCUOUS

@Ron….GREAT point about the condoms!

My fave saying...Correlation does not mean Causation:
Not more promiscuous…different equipment (but you knew that! ;-).

Soft, moist tissues are apparently less resistant to the virus than firm, hard tissues.
In other words…ladies are MORE at risk.

OP--Also GENITAL Herpes likes oral as well as non-oral. Just thought you’d wanna know. Google is your friend...use it and get edumicated so you don't get what you're not looking for when you're looking to get what you are looking for.

Go to sex personals or intimate encounters. Doesn't really belong here.

Yep Denver I knew that, but had to throw it in! Just for kicks.
I so agree with your statement “My fave saying...Correlation does not mean Causation:”

I have read so many studies that give false conclusions. It would always be nice to have all the facts, conditions and assumptions but those are seldom presented.

My main point related to your p.s. was that you can get herpes even if you are using what you think is protection. Many people do not know that or so it seems. Much better to know and trust your partner!!

PlentyOfFish has links to a couple sex personals sites. The names are filtered on the forums for some reason. If you view your own profile, there should be a link "View Other US Dating Sites"

Denver/Ron, God bless you guys. I just can't do the intimate encounter profiles without going ballistic.

Damn Majic, I know that you have had at least 2 intimate encounters. You have two girls right? Besides at the OPs age that is pretty much what life is about. I can still remember back that far.

The thing is that most people can pick that up at the local bar.

There was a physician on the radio talking about a little known fact--that skin on skin contact is all you need for many stds, including herpes but there are many other stds. Condoms are necessary for everything, but, aren't guaranteed to protect you from stds.
The point is, don't take these risks with someone you don't care about. You don't need to keep up with your peers.
It will happen after you form a relationship. If you aren't capable of that, it might be better to wait, if you value your health, and try to form friendships as a start.
