A woman who proudly voices the fact that she is a virgin at 34 years old has revealed the best thing about abstaining from sex.
Now, a lot of people take pride in enjoying life for all of its pleasures, including sex. But having intimate relationships with people can come with obstacles and – more often than not – some unnecessary drama.
That’s why some people, like Lauren Harkins, have decided to stay away from it altogether.
The content creator from Portland, Maine, has taken to social media on multiple occasions to reveal the best thing about being a virgin at 34.

“Something fun about being a virgin in your thirties is that I literally have no baggage,” she said in a video posted back in October.
In her Instagram bio, Harkins describes herself as having “no boyfriend since birth” and has since used the fact she still has her “V card” to grow her social channels.
“I have no baggage,” she re-emphasized. “I have no drama in my life… like I literally… I’m good.”
She went on to state that she’s an “uncomplicated person with an uncomplicated past.”
“And it’s great so thank you,” she added.
She also added that she does not have any “mental or developmental issues” due to trauma from sexual or intimate relationships.
In another video, which showed her dancing, she also doubled down on the message with a text overlay that read: “Thinking about all the messes I’ve avoided by staying single and celibate my whole life.”

Harkins also revealed that her decision to remain celibate is not influenced by religion as she views it more as a moral standing.
People couldn’t help but comment about Harkins’ views, with one user pointing out: “Everybody has ‘baggage’ you just may not have relationship baggage. But no one’s life is perfect – there’s something you carry around with you.”
“You can still have baggage and be a virgin…” added another.
Another asked: “How does that even happen? Weren’t ever curious about sex?”
However, others commended Lauren, with some even speaking of their own situations.
“You are glowing! And you inspire me to be like you when my 30s come,” one user stated while another added: “I will be 30 in a few days and yesss same with me!”
A third also commented: “34 here and 35 soon and no drama… good or bad.”
And this person also chimed in writing: “Completely understand! The peace I have knowing I don’t have no soul or intimacy ties to someone is great because when I look at the other girls I know who is going through hell, Naw I am really good! Chips and Netflix by myself please.”

Everyone is entitled to their own ways of living life and if Harkins is happy doing this, then we’re cheering her on from the sidelines!
