I was very interested in sex in high school and college, but I was in my mid 20s before I finally succeeded. The problem was simply a lack of confidence and underdeveloped social skills. I suspect that men and women have very different experiences regarding shyness and sex.

I’d recommend not even worrying about sex and just learn how to talk to women. The relevant two words are happy hour. Just find happy hours sponsored by singles groups and practice. At happy hour, the background noise is usually low enough to talk, but the bar environment makes hitting on women socially acceptable. A guy needs to confident when talking to women before he has a chance at sex.
