I would define "losing ones virginity" as consenting to sexual intercourse. Feel free to elaborate or suggest otherwise.

Also, I would love to hear about your first experience. How was it? Where was it? Etc.

Er, hopefully there have not been similar posts. I checked. Thanks! (:

Er, addendum: I'm assuming sexual abuse doesn't count.

Right. Which is why I made sure to include "consenting" in there.

Me too, it was horribly painful! Sex was terible for a long time and then I met my current partner who has made love to me rather than treat me as a sex object and sex has never been better! (Although I play his sex object from time to time).

It was horrible. I was way too nervous to have a chance of enjoying it.

I was about 13 1/2, and I remember it was about 11pm at night, on the middle of a baseball diamond. I didn't really know what was going on - a bit naive. It hurt like hell at first!

Mine was very boring. It was more like "oh let's do this" and then "this isn't that great because we don't know what to do so let's stop now."

First time I hated it! I was sure I was not going to that again, ever! Anyway, under better circumstances and some unbelievable help from my mother I had sex again and again...my experiences were not always positive but I was mostly moving forward with new discoveries about myself and my body. To me, moving forward with a sense of adventure and awe sure has helped.

My first was at 17. He got lotion out for lubricant got himself ready and put some on me, than he just went in. i was trying so hard not to cry, but after a while it was feeling good, he started to hit my prostate once in a while.

I was 14 and ended up doing it in a house that was being constructed. It wasn't the best feeling since neither of us knew much about sex, but was special none the less. I am still with this same person, so thankfully we have had plenty of time to explore and improve!

I feel like I should elaborate on mine now that everyone's telling their stories. I was visiting my boyfriend, the one I'm still with, at his college during winter break, and one night he asked me if I wanted to and I said yes. The next day we had his dorm room completely to ourselves and just went at it all day. It felt so perfect with him.

A prior hookup (no sex) with a guy who was WAY to rough got the pain part out of the way.

Well, I've never had "intercourse", as I've only had sex with other women. By my definition though, I was no longer a virgin at 16.

Technically, I'd had sexual intercourse once before, but I really don't count myself as having lost my virginity until my first sexual experience with a girl. We were at a party at a friend's house and as the night grew late, we were flirting and petting and one thing led to another until I was splayed out in the middle of the living room floor with everything hanging out, making enough noise that we ended up inspiring an orgy.

...it was a hell of an introduction to sex.

I was a few weeks short of 19. My boyfriend and I had been together for almost a year. We had been messing around in increasingly sexual ways, to the point of naked heavy petting and what I've recently heard called "outercourse."

One evening, when he was sleeping over at my dorm, it went a little farther than I'd planned, but still without full penetration. I chickened out (and probably gave him the worst blue balls of his life). Later that evening, we were at it again and he was being insanely careful to not spook me, and I finally decided I wanted it, and I wanted it now. It wasn't the most amazing sex ever, but it was incredibly emotional in a wonderful way. Since I'd lost my hymen in sports years before, it didn't hurt, either.

And damn Reesa. Now you've gone and made us all jealous. We can't top a great story like that!

What a way to go all out for your first experience! I am with Lily on the jealousy. I have yet to participate in any sort act remotely close to that scale, and I've been having sex for what, 5 or 6 years.

I was in high school, and it was with my best friend whom I was madly in love with and wanted to spend the rest of my days with her. Her parents pulled her out of school and sent her to another state. I did not see her for another decade. This was the 70's.....

I was 18 and had not wanted to have sex until I had graduated from high school. I knew a guy who was about 8 years older than I was and who was divorced and he had been after me to go out with him. I figured he would be the perfect one since he should be very experienced. Since he hadn't fingered me prior to penetration, he didn't know I was a virgin until he shoved his dick in. He stopped dead in his tracks and looked at me like he didn't know what to say. I just smiled at him to let him know it was okay, even though I was definitely in pain, and he kinda smiled back and then picked up where he left off.

I was 18.5 when I lost my virginity to my then boyfriend, now Husband. Not only did I lose that, but that day I also received my first kiss. I never dated in school because my class was full of losers and I just wasn't interested in sex with someone I didn't love. I had been in a long distance relationship with him for over a year and lost it the first day I went to meet him. We clicked in person that much.

UGH. I was 15, and moving oversees. I was also depressed. We started on his waterbed, and that wasn't working. Moved to his floor.

That was my first experience in essentially no foreplay and no pleasure.

Hmmm, I was a young 15 when I lost my virginity. It's funny now, but my girlfriends mother was in the living room and I was having sex with her daughter in her bedroom. Her mother had taken the bedroom door off the hinges because she didn't trust her, but that didn't stop us. We would have been busted big time if anyone had walked down the hall. But there we were, going to town like we were the only two people in the world. Thinking back, man were we crazy.

Oops, I clicked on 13-15 without really reading. I was 16. He was 18. It was at like 3 in the afternoon, and I had told my mother I would be "at the library". I remember his room was kind of a mess, and though he tried, it wasn't really romantic. He also accused me of not being a virgin because I didn't bleed, and even years later I remember him bringing it up, and me trying to explain AGAIN how I had ridden horses...

Ugh, memories. Lol

It was beautiful - we were both ready. We found a secluded grassy area next to a stream - took our time - fumbled around - and enjoyed every minute of it. But I'd say we weren't to typical. I read up extensively on 'what to do' and we had a lot of back seat experience with mutual masturbation and humping - it was really just a formality - but none the less a wonderful experience. We remained together for 3 years and enjoyed plenty of very fun sex.

It was recently, last May, at 21. (I'll be 22 in a few weeks.) Didn't enjoy it, though, was in a lot of pain and then bled for 2 weeks after. My bf (who's 18 now) stopped immediately when I screamed, and I felt bad he didn't get to enjoy much, so I bought him a sleeve to use because now I'm not there. (Long distance relationship of 2 years, now that I'm back home, might be a few more years or so before i see him again.)

I'm not sure if it's something I really enjoy, though. I was abused all my life so people touching me is not something i enjoy and I get very defensive, plus i have an extremly low drive. (I'm not sensual, either.) I don't mind using toys, however, but alone.

He still wants to marry me, though, despite all my shortcomings.... I keep wondering, who's the crazy one, me or him? Lol.

I had just turned 16. We waited a week more than I wanted to because he didn't have a condom. So the next week I bought some and we went back to his place and I practically pounced him because he was nervous. It was a wham, bam, thank you ma'am kinda deal.

Let's see... I turned 18 Nov. 29, 2005, lost my virginity Feb. 6, 2006 at like 11:36pm. Let's just say we were done by 12:05 and when he got off we realized I had started my period - no it wasn't hymen bleeding. It hurt a little. Before we actually started I laid down the rules, if I said stop then he stopped. If I said pull out he pulled out. When he first initially pushed in it hurt and I said stop, wait let me get adjusted. Then the pain went away and I said okay and he shoved in. For a first time it was great, because I've had some pretty lousy sex since then. He was a virgin also. We had known each other online for about 3 years overall, dating for a year. It was the first night we met in person. That night included my first kiss, first blowjob and first time having sex.

I decided that I shouldn't do any of it because then I'd be more likely to be like 'okay do it!' And when I was younger my mom made me promise to wait until I was 18 to lose my virginity, so that I wasn't in high school and that I'd be able to take care of a baby.

I was around 16 and I too was left wondering what the damn fuss was about. I mean it was ok, over way too fast and God didn't strike me dead afterward. In fact no one could tell! That was the biggest let down for me...oh and my hips didn't "spread" as my Grandmother had insisted they would!

I made him wait one full year and he didn't make it easy....the man is very good at foreplay! I liked it and we did it as often as we could and then when I turned 20 I married him so that no one could tell me I couldn't sleep with him! All in all though it wasn't all fireworks and angelic music playing I have never regretted my decision.

**hoping like heck no one I know reads this** ha! I was 16.

I was always into experimenting. Queen of BJ's and teasing but I could never quite commit to going "all the way". I was really nervous about the entire concept of sex. I masturbated a good bit so I knew I wouldn't have to worry about the hymen issue.

My bf and I were parked in a secluded lot behind a church that was being re-constructed. By bf I mean best friend, who happened to be a guy. I had gone shopping that day and bought tons of cute undies and was talking about them. Jokingly he asked to see a pair on, but I sort of knew he just wanted me naked. I kind of wanted to play around as well; I was comfortable with him, curious about sex, I found him attractive, and I trusted him.

One thing led to another and we wound up having awkward car sex. The kind where you worry someone will drive by and see your white ass shining through a window or something. The condomn came off when he pulled out so we both got extrememly freaked out. That's one way to get a reality check at 16. Thankfully there were no consequences. It wasn't great, or even good really. It was two first timers who had no clue what sex could, or even should be. If I had it to do over again I definitely would have chosen a better location/setting/etc.. . but I was a young and having fun. Thank gawd my ass didn't get struck by lightning!
