At what age did you lose your virginity?

Inspired by another thread. I think I was quite late losing mine, I was 25. What about you?

@Wotapolava

This thread has spoken a lot for natural human emotion and attraction. Those who started off together while young are still together and in their own words ( still in love with a healthy sex life) probably stand testament to the ingredients of a good relationship.

Porn is something else and while I don't agree with ridding of it completely, I do cringe at some of the stuff on the websites.
Because a right of choice should always be an important factor - as with prostitutes.

Sadly, these arguments appear not to be in mainstream.
I fear some of those who shout the loudest on being heard are denying the same for others.

who are the people who are still together?

I have seen very few posters still with the person they lost their virginity too but a lot of posters that had good experiances (about 50/50 with those who had bad experiances).

WTF porn got to do with anything here? the question wasnt 'when did you become a porn star' as that would be fairly small group I imagine.

Yet again the point was missed.
Was virginity mentioned?

Stop expecting people to respond to comments they didn't make.

You look foolish!

Well, I read your post several times and still have no idea what you were actually attempting to say.

It doesn't help that you're missing vital punctuation (eg "those who started off together while young are still together" doesn't fit with the thread so I'm assuming there should be a comma in there).

Your second paragraph is so unclear that the person who first commented took from it totally the opposite message from the one I did.

And while your post may not have explicitly mentioned virginity (though "started off together" hints at it) that was the whole premise of the thread (the clue's in the title).

@merryhouse

Don't waste my time and I won't waste yours.

WombatChocolate · 05/02/2021 13:12

WOtopalava, I also cannot see how your comments relate to the thread title either.

Can't you?

Well, I'm not receiving notifications for any replies on here so that's how interesting the system finds you too!

I was 11 not consensual he was around 19 and I believe has been in and out prison for multiple counts of rapes on little girls. I then started having consensual sex at around 12-13 but remember when I had the lightbulb moment at around 16 that sex was meant to be enjoyable it was just something that I endured until that moment. Sad

Mischance · 05/02/2021 14:04

Sad indeed Hm2020 - I am sorry that your first experiences of sex were so dreadful and dispiriting. I hope that things have improved for you now.

2 months before my 15th birthday and I'd been with him for 2yrs. It was planned, safe and enjoyable.

sheslittlebutfierce · 05/02/2021 14:28

13
please no sympathy. Far from my best decision but all my own and married to him 35 years later

tinglymint · 05/02/2021 14:46

18

sheslittlebutfierce · 05/02/2021 14:58

and I should add, I was his fist too and we are together now but have had marriages in between.

@Lessstressedhemum

About 6, but I don't count that. Consensually, 15.
SadThanks

13 or 14, raped by family member.

joystir59 · 05/02/2021 15:51

Consensually, 17

needadvice54321 · 05/02/2021 15:52

16 - boyfriend I was then will for 3 years

It's weird because DS1 is now 17 and I just can't imagine him being old enough for that kind of stuff, he just seems so young to me ( btw - I'm not being naive , he may well have been up to alsorts without me knowing!)

wsbts · 05/02/2021 16:40

18 and she was more experienced than poor me

Serena1977 · 05/02/2021 17:06

33 and regretted it.

LizFlowers · 13/02/2021 04:58

@Serena1977

33 and regretted it.
I hope you have learned to enjoy since, Serena. Many people's first experiences are not pleasant, no matter how old you are.
