A WOMAN who dated more than 100 men had remained a virgin until she was 41-years-old – and now she’s married and pregnant.
After decades of dating, Amanda McCracken, 42, found a man who connected with her and was worthy of taking her virginity.
She met her dream man – Dave, a drummer from Long Island – in the summer of 2018 at a rooftop with friends.
Two months into the relationship, Dave told Amanda she was “worthy” of his love, prompting her to exchange her “virginity for a commitment to positive change,” she told Huff Post.
The pair had sex for the first time, 10 months after their first date, in French Polynesia – and married two mother later.
Amanda – a Colorado resident who refers to herself as a writer, runner, traveler, and book author – posted to Instagram last week on her birthday to share pregnancy news.
She wrote: “Grandma’s prophecy has come true. We are expecting a baby end of July/early August!
“As of now, we are waiting until the birth to learn the sex, but we are in awe of our little one already.”
Amanda, now four months pregnant, published an article on Valentines Day, entitled: “I Waited Until I Was 41 To Lose My Virginity. But Was It Worth it?”
Huff Post’s guest writer wrote: “It was never about the sex.
“It was never about waiting for the perfect guy to show up. It was about waiting on a healthy me to show up.
“The one who realized she deserved more than breadcrumbs. The one who finally felt the emptiness in longing.
“The one who turned toward love rather than chasing rejection. The one who was capable of accepting that love.
“And that was worth the wait.”
Amanda opened up about dating more than 100 men by the time she was 40-year-old.
She wrote: “My romances, which lasted from one night to one year, were with men from 15 years younger to 15 years older.
“I dated a physicist, army captain, stripclub bouncer, philosopher, professional country singer, peace-treaty negotiator, yacht captain, waste management baron, professional athlete, farming landscape painter, firefighter, ER doctor, retired CIA spy, minister, a handful of lawyers and enough engineers to start a firm.”
She revealed that although she was intimate with more than 50 of the men, she still refrained from having sexual intercourse.
“I knew in my gut that I wanted to experience sexual intercourse within a mutually loving and committed relationship. That relationship just never came along,” she wrote.
Amanda first opened up about her decision in 2013, in a New York Times essay she wrote, titled “Does my Virginity Have a Shelf Life?”
It led her to speak on the Katie Couric show – which she claims on a commercial break the show host said she was suffering from “fairytale princess syndrome.”
At one point, Amanda questioned if her expectations for love and commitment were too high – but ultimately she decided that wasn’t true.
In a recent interview with BBC World News, she is happy with her decision to wait for sex.
She said: “I wanted to be in a relationship where there is that mutual love and commitment. And I believed it existed.

“It was worth the wait but not in the way people would think. The sex was great, but the journey was never about the sex.
“I’m now with in a loving and committed relationship with a man who can offer me love.”
