25. i was younger too
To be honest, I can't say I regret it. My body was ready. I just wish it was easier for kids to get protection when they need it.

11. My ego would never recover
I'm not the most egotistical of dudes, but if I had to stoop that low, I'd never be able to forgive myself.

I think I just haven't met the right young lady who can appreciate my unique style of existence.

Or so I tell myself

13. I lost mine at 17
but forget that. This summer I found out that my son lost his at 15. (He just turned 17 in September). He was telling me this story about being set up with this 23 year old woman while he was in Greece this summer. Goofing around, I asked him if he'd lost his virginity. He replied that he'd done that a year and a half ago. Shocked the hell out of me. It's not like he's ever had a steady girlfriend.

23. I was 22, about to commit suicide
Thought I'd find out what it was like before I snuffed myself out of existence.

Didn't take long to find a guy, you know the stereotype.

It was okay, but I stopped in the middle out of fear of AIDS. Quaint, huh?

It's the truth. The sad, sad truth. But I'm not embarrassed about it.

A lot of you say liberals have more sex. Well I haven't had sex at ALL, and I'm as liberal as ANYONE of you.:P

34. I lost my virginity before I had any idea what it was.
Edited on Sun Oct-05-03 11:32 AM by annonymous
My first sexual encounter was with a sex predator. This creep took advantage of an awkward 12 year old who had family problems. Most sex predators look for children with troubled backgrounds and I fit the profile. My parents constantly fought, they had financial problems and could be abusive. He listened to me and made me feel special, but in the end he tricked me. This creep drugged me before he had sex with me which in a way was a mercy since my memories of the incident are vague, but I remember feeling degraded. I believe the real reason he drugged me was so I couldn't testify against him if he got caught, but I was too afraid of what my parents would do if they found out.

37. 12, just shy of 13
I was an "early bloomer" as some call it. The twist to this was that is was with a lady named Sally, who lived on the same street. She was 42 at the time.

Jesus H. Christ, was my Ma PISSED...she nearly went postal.

38. 16. On a warm October night, out on the front porch...
of the house where my girlfriend was babysitting (the kid was asleep). We worried about possible pregnancy for about two weeks, but we were lucky.

But for all the inexperience and awkwardness, it was really sweet and memorable for both of us. I clearly remember walking home that evening in a light, muggy drizzle, feeling that I had just learned the secrets of the universe, and that everything was rolling along in greased grooves.

39. Why must you know this, and why am I telling you???

Hey there rezmutt!


(Greased grooves? Very, very cool....) lol

I was 21--WAY late bloomer, and my b/f and I, (college seniors--pre-law and about to graduate) had never 'done it' before! We were somewhere under a pine tree in South Arkansas--it was pleasantly awkward and funny, and not particularly orgasmic (for me anyway), but it was nice and I remember it well! (never have sex under a pine tree, btw.... ;) ..)

45. Welcome to DU, DixieNurse! Glad some of us had nice "firsts"...
So often you hear about first-time traumas, etc., but I feel grateful, hence the bit poetic waxing in the above post.

Hmm...under a pine tree? Not for me, that's *almost* cactus! :hi:

Nice to have you here -- :toast:

47. A nice first indeed.....but I'm SO glad it wasn't in the cactus!

Hi there rezmutt! :hi:


(Almost cactus? OUCH!)

Not so good on tender bottoms...and waxing poetic is a very good thing! :)
(beats waxing your eyebrows, I'm thinking..:cry:..)

Thanks for the welcome!

42. Still here
Still hanging on to it, not always sure if that's by choice or simply by lack of ability to rid myself of it! And I'm twenty, so I suppose I'm already abnormal by comparison to the majority of DUers...

And yeah, there was a time that I had an opportunity to have lost it, but I didn't feel right about it at the time. I thought my girlfriend was going to be "the one" and I wanted to wait for marriage so things would be special. After I got dumped, I suppose I kicked myself a few times wondering what might have been. Now I'm not even sure how I feel about waiting, while at the same time I'm not really certain I have any choice but to wait considering my lack of success at even getting a date these days. Isn't life strange?

Anyway, sorry if I told anyone way more than they wanted to know.

43. Got lucky at 16...
...then waited for two years before it happened again. Went to University in the UK, met a load of people, became a decadent hedonist. You know how it works :D
(note: As anyone following my blog will have noticed a long time ago, Norwegians are the people in Europe that have the most sex. So for all you virgins out there, irrespective of sexual orientation, gender or anything, get yourself on a plane to Norway and get laid! :D)

48. I was 17. At the time, I thought I was a late bloomer.
Now, having read the replies of so many others, I can see that I wasn't. Still, at the time, (Mid-eighties)it seemed the thing to do. I was such a shy, awkward kid, that I thought I was the only one my age who hadn't. I was scared to death and the girl I was with wasn't. She was much more experienced than I was. I wonder what she thought of my fumbling and fiddling. We saw each other a few more times and then she called it off. I'm not surprised.
