I'm ashamed to admit that I'm still a virgin at 40

DEAR DEIDRE: I’M ashamed to admit that I’m still a virgin at 40.

Nobody knows because I lived with my ex-partner for 15 years, from when I was in my mid-20s.

But although I loved her, she was weird about sex, and had no sex drive, so in the end I gave up trying.

Since we split up, I haven’t had another relationship. The main reason is I’m too embarrassed to tell a woman I’m a virgin.

And the older I get, the more humiliating it becomes.

But I really want to experience sex and to find love again before it’s too late. I know I have a lot to offer.

How can I find a woman who will be understanding and who won’t laugh at my lack of experience?
