I’M 25 and still a virgin because I’m too scared to get naked and have sex.

What if a woman laughs at me? I go to the gym every other day. I maintain a decent six-pack and think my penis is an OK size, but how do I know what a potential lover may want or need?

Also, what if I don’t know all the latest moves and tricks? Will I get laughed out of bed?

I hang around with a group of blokes who are really successful with the opposite sex. Two are married and the other three never have any problem finding lovers.

I pretend that I’ve got a secret, married lover at work. I’ve invented this woman called “Samantha” and claim to go round to her place to bonk when her husband is away, but it’s a fairy story.

I’m terrified that I’m going to be found out and shamed.

JANE SAYS: For a start, don’t listen to, or believe, everything your mates tell you because so many people in this world lie and exaggerate.

You must chuck Samantha and focus on finding someone real.

Can female friends or relatives introduce you to anyone suitable?

Have you considered a dating agency or app?

Be proactive and keep telling yourself that you’re just as good as the next guy – if not better.

The fact is there are plenty of girls out there who are looking for someone as thoughtful and sensitive as you.

There’s no rush to lose your virginity and lovemaking will be far more satisfying and exciting in a committed relationship.

Take a deep breath, work out what it is that you want – and then make it happen.
