We all know that nowadays the media is almost only speaking about sex, being in love and cheating: teenagers and their first kiss, teenagers and their first petting, teenagers and their first time… But unfortunately, reality seems to be different, because the number of people over 30 who are still a virgin is incredibly high. A life without sex, kisses and cuddling is the bitter truth for most of the lonesome hearts of today’s society. But how can it be that so many people, even in an adult age, have such issues with love matters?

For most of the people, excluding all the clergymen of course, a life without sex and tenderness is unimaginable. Almost every one has already had one or more partners and normally we start with those little first love affairs at an early age. And then, there are the “others”, those who often sit in a corner and are so nice and good-hearted, but act completely insecurely. Of course, shyness is nothing bad, because there are loads of hyperactive people, who always have to be in the centre of attention. However, this special kind of person has problems to connect with other people. And here, we are not talking about finding friends, but about finding the right boyfriend or girlfriend.

There are no representative studies or surveys to provide us with more facts about this phenomenon, because the affected persons are too ashamed of telling others that they are 35 and still a virgin. This is completely understandable. But what we can say is that it doesn’t only concern a certain social class: lawyers, pilots, professors, musicians, students, unemployed…Psychologists think that certain happenings and behaviours during childhood can be the reason why we have people over 40 who are still virgins.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with adults who haven’t had sex yet. If the right moment hasn’t already occurred, there is no point in forcing it either. But the majority of the affected persons suffer from not having sexual experiences. They are unhappy and even depressive. Very often they only need to be encouraged a little bit. This is exactly why there are a lot of social groups which try to help them out. Mutual help and support is the alpha and omega for discovering sexuality step by step.

Whether single, married or virgin, some relaxing holidays are a good idea for everyone. What about a trip to the enchanting Italian capital? Not without reason, the eternal city is also called the open air museum. Rent the comfortable and economic Apartments in Rome and let yourself be guided by the impressive charm of the city.

The Italian capital can be called a past, present and future city. When you stroll through the streets of Rome, you’ll realize the magnificence and historic richness of the city. In fact, it is a mixture of the old Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, Christianity, Baroque, Mussolini’s fascist era and the contemporary Rome we know today. But it has always preserved it eternal beauty and magic!

Rome is a suitable city for all kinds of people: for adults, for children, for teenagers, for straight people, for gays, for single people, for married people, for Italians and foreigners… Rome enjoys a perfect climate; therefore, it is the perfect city for walking around and for eating outdoors. You can enjoy a delicious pizza, pasta or some delicious cheeses and exquisite wines.

When you see for the first time the Flavian amphitheatre, better known as the Coliseum, you will be left speechless. The amphitheatre was built by Vespasian, on top of the remains of the palace of Nero. The building was not completed until 80AD, under the rule of Emperor Domitian, the last emperor of the Flavian Dynasty. The amphitheatre was used to entertain people and therefore, it was one of the most remarkable monuments of the time. You wouldn’t need too much imagination to remember the fights between gladiators and the exalted screams of the Roman public!

Going on a few steps you’ll find the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, where Romans used to go about their daily lives: trade, business, prostitution, justice, philosophy… From a distance you can see the Campidoglio and the Circus Maximus.

Then get ready to enjoy the spirituality and the greatness of the Holy See in the State of the Vatican City. In front of Piazza San Pietro, designed by Bernini, there is a huge dome by Michelangelo. It has a few arches and statues that will leave you impressed. The Basilica is a must: inside it, you feel like you were immersed in another world. Do not forget to visit the Vatican museums: Raphael’s rooms, The Sistine Chapel or the maps gallery.

In Rome there are plenty of tourist and non-tourist trips to join. The historic centre is the most beautiful part: from the Piazza Spagna to the Piazza Navona or the Agrippa Panthenon. The Jewish Quarter is interesting too, and it is considered a very alternative neighbourhood.

The Via del Corso is the most important street in Rome; there you can buy anything you want in the most famous stores of Italy: Prada, Versace, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Armani, Roberto Cavalli and Christian Dior to name but a few. Of course, there are shops with lower prices! Via di Ripetta is also a highly regarded street by the Romans. If you still have time, have a long walk through Villa Borghese, one of the most beautiful parks in Italy.

As you see, Rome is still a wonderful city. Its greatest charm is that you will always find something new and amazing to see. Rent Rome Apartments to have a rest and enjoy your stay there!
