A 33-year-old virgin has branded herself 'your fave late bloomer', after she claims to normalise having 'high standards'.

Lauren Harkins, 33, from Maine in the US, is very open with her audience about her lack of bedroom action.

Lauren, who has never been in a relationship, shares her celibate lifestyle on social media, claiming to encourage people to have 'high standards'.

She admitted in a recent Instagram post that she had made her virginity her 'entire personality' in order to gain a following online.

One video on her account shows her dancing to Enigma's song 'Return to Innocence', with the caption reading: "No one has higher standards and thicker skin than a 33-year-old virgin."

Other posts from Lauren read: "Just out here making virginity and high standards cool again in 2024," and "Normalize doing life at your own pace. You are on no one else’s timeline."

Celibacy is becoming an increasingly popular choice, with celebrities such as Julia Fox and Lenny Kravitz being open about their decision not to have sex.

Back in May, Fox said she had been celibate for more than two years and 'never been better'.

Kravitz meanwhile said that his celibacy is a 'spiritual thing'.

More recently Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones opened up about the backlash she'd received after revealing she was a 40-year-old virgin, saying it 'killed all her dates'.

She has said her choice to stay a virgin until she's married had been 'harder than training for the Olympics'.

People have flooded to support Lauren in the comments to her Instagram post, including others who have stayed a virgin until later in life.

One fan wrote: "Me too, 29 and still a virgin. It's great to see women who aren't ashamed of this."

Another said: "I’m 32, single, never been in a relationship and a virgin also girl. Personally, I live by the motto 'I am mine, before I am ever anyone else’s' and won’t lower my standards for anyone. There’s nothing wrong with waiting on the right person."

A third added: "Good for you doing what you want with your body."

A fourth added: "Ugh yes no pregnancy scares, no worries about stds."

While a final user said: "The older I get the more I realize how common this is. I think more young people should know."

Other have hit back at those criticizing Lauren, pointing out it's her choice what she does with her body.
