I have not bought anything - mostly due to me going the beach! The games I saw didn't really speak to me, or they were gone before I could click.
Haha! Likewise.. I found only few titles interesting, and even then I skipped them. Its probably the "rush" that causes dislike, the campaign fills like door marketing without chance to think it over.
I'm too old for this. It's all happening so fast I can barely see anything (actually I didn't see anything at all in the first hours thanks to the embarassing image bug).
Looks like I'll be an insomnia virgin as well, because the games I have wishlisted and were discounted in the sale did not get a high enough discount to motivate me to get all stressed in order to buy them -closest would be Legend of Kay Anniversary which was 75% off but still I'm not sure I should stress over not spending 5 euros, plus I only read about it happening, didn't witness it myself. This, combined with the ridiculously low quantities most items have (case in point -Legend of Kay only 40 copies - it should have at least 500 in order to not have people feel all hurried) make me feel I won't even have the time to pay for anything I might want from future additions, so screw it....

I'm probably younger than you (currently in my 20s -not saying if they're early or late though) but I also felt at 1st overwhelmed by the ridiculously low quantities (at the point I was even intimidated from trying to buy anything -thankfully didn't find much stuff that interested me). That initial feeling soon (after also seeing the comparatively low discounts in comparison with previous sales) gave its place to some sort of indifference -and I now couldn't care less that a sale is going on, and I'd rather have a normal sale over this stuff...

Wouldn't purchasing something from the previous insomnia sales mean that you already lost the "virginity"? :p

And i'm not buying anything from gog due to their forum policy and to be honest, i only wanted 3 games from here, 1 hasn't appeared (and i doubt it will) and the other two were released recently so i doubt that they would get any good discounts.

I'm not of this opinion myself, because imo last year's insomnia was much better -it had more games that interested me, higher discounts, and increased quantities at the later rounds - those quantities may have made some sale items drag on, but that was better than the current situation.
But anyways, according to your definition I'm only halfways-insomnia-virgin then...

edit-though the fact I now own more games than last year might also have something to do with my not finding the current games on offer not interesting enough (and some of those on offer are already owned too)

Uhm... It doesn't matter, it was an insomnia sale as this one, if you bought something from there then you already lost the virginity, same way that you had amazing sex (for the first time) last year with someone hot and now there's this uninteresting person in front of you that you can possibly have sex with.

Anyway it was a joke.

Most probably I won't buy anything. There are a few games from my wishlist but I don't really need them atm so I'll pass

Sorry for not putting the :P smiley at the end of the "half-virginity" part of my answer then (I thought to do so for a bit while writing it, but then thought that if I did so, the whole post might be taken too lightly).
As for the hypothetical sex situation, I haven't had anything like that happen to me, but I can still imagine the situation of course so I get your point, irrelevant of not having experienced anything of the sort myself. So yeah, this year's sale hasn't charmed me/drawn me in as the last one did. Guess my wallet's saved though so it's not too bad...
So tl;dr Just to be clear, a better expression would be that I've abstained from close contact (of any nature) with this current sale.

I thought this would be some friendship group.

I got the Insomnia Sale news by a message by mchack.
Anyway generous mchack gifted me STAR WARS™: X-Wing Alliance™ also I was busy in some real life problem.
Other than that my internet connection was too slow so couldn't buy anything.
I also think that previous Insomnia Promos were better. I also miss critical hit system which gave you a chance to win a free game.

I will be waiting for Summer Sale, till then I will be playing Day of the Tentacle Remastered (Thanks to Doc0075 and Moonshineshadow) and then STAR WARS™: X-Wing Alliance™.

Sorry GOG. :)

... In Denmark?
Nothing bought, even there are a few things that interest me, because:

My payment options: Credit card and Pay Pal.

I do not own a credit card and I hear you need a credit card to put money into a PayPal account...

How about getting those paysafecards or some such working?

So how did I ever manage to buy games here then? When visiting my parents I kindly asked them; they just do not live next door so visiting is not that easy.

I guess I could ask a friend with a GOG account to buy for me and I give them money but I hear gift codes are bought at full price. Is that right?

Didn't bought anything, mainly because my mobo broke down in the weekend and I need to buy some cheap one before I sent it on warranty... but thx to tracker thread I know that there was only one game (so far atleast) that I realy wanted - so that's a relief.
I haven't even paid attention to the sale. I have too many games already :O
I have a full-time job which is quite incompatible with both the concept of an Insomnia Sale and an ever increasing backlog. So no games for me so far.

Unless something insanely cool and obscenely cheap pops up this is going to stay that way.
