Lauren Harkins, a 35-year-old content creator, has never had a boyfriend or been intimate with someone, yet she has never been on a date. Despite being labelled a "late bloomer" and "late-night," she maintains that adult virginity is more common than people think. She also acknowledges that society still holds outdated assumptions about virginity, as if it indicates something fragile, sheltered, or socially stunted. Harkin believes that she is not saving herself for marriage or religious reasons but for a relationship that feels genuinely meant for her. She credits singer Lizzo's admission to losing her virginity in 2020 to validate her decision.
