Something I've been thinking about recently, and had a discussion with friends. Were you in love with the first person you had PIV with?

I was not. Had a BF, I did like him, everyone else was at it, so we did it.

Not looking for any details, just a yes/no vote is OK

YES: I was in love
NO: I was not in love

I thought so, but like a PP, I was 15, I definitely didn't. I was comfortable with him though, I don't regret it being him.

LozzaChops101 · 02/08/2021 22:05

Yes but I was a late starter and I'd known her for quite a while.

chocolateoranges33 · 02/08/2021 22:10

Yes

RaginaPhalange · 02/08/2021 22:14

Yes, I was 16 and getting married in a few months.

ConsuelaHammock · 02/08/2021 22:18

No but he adored me. I was head over heels in love with the next bloke. He broke my heart.

Peace43 · 02/08/2021 22:21

Nope but he was nice.

thelastgoldeneagle · 02/08/2021 22:22

Yes. I was 16, we'd been together a year. We loved each other and we were together for 5 years.

NerrSnerr · 02/08/2021 22:24

I only knew him for about 6 hours or so, probably not. He seemed a nice bloke. He was called James and was a pharmacy student (so if anyone knows a pharmacist called James in his 40s it may have been him).

saveyourbreath · 02/08/2021 22:24

Yes.

I think we loved each other. We were 17 and went out from 16 to about 22/23. We’re 37 now.

He had a lot of problems at home and I know it put him off commitment.

I am now married with two kids but I met him one day randomly in a coffee shop about a year ago and he sat with me. He was very open that he felt like he lost me and it took him years to get over it 😥 The closeness still existed and I felt very very sad after it. He is a nice guy but ruined by his chaotic upbringing.

We’re still in touch now and again and he knows he can chat to me if he ever needs to.

samwitwicky · 02/08/2021 22:24

No

StrongCoffeeAvalanche · 02/08/2021 22:25

Yes. Turned out thought that he didn't love me back Sad

ToykotoLosAngeles · 02/08/2021 22:33

No, as we'd been together a week, but 17 years later we are married with a son so it was a Good Idea anyway.

In honesty he was so lovely that I knew I wouldn't regret it, especially as I'd been in a ballgown all night so there was a fairytale element.

Wincarnis · 02/08/2021 22:37

Nope, I was too young, lonely, and In love with the idea of being loved. He was a nasty bastard but I didn’t think so at the time.

Allthebubbles · 02/08/2021 22:41

No

MuchTooTired · 02/08/2021 22:46

Nope, it was a one night stand. I fancied him but never thought I was in love with him.

MirandaMarple · 02/08/2021 22:49

Hahahahaha!

irresistibleoverwhelm · 02/08/2021 22:54

Yes, I had been in love for a while beforehand. The desperately-in-love feeling actually lifted as soon as we’d slept together, and was replaced by something much calmer. We did stay together for years afterwards though!

Ticklemycarpets · 02/08/2021 22:57

No

BluebellsareBlue · 02/08/2021 23:12

I was 15, it wasn't love but after 30 years we are back together and very much in love

Stopyourhavering64 · 02/08/2021 23:18

Yes, been together 39 years and married 34!

MrsToothyBitch · 02/08/2021 23:37

No. I was 16, he was 18. He was my first boyfriend. Nice guy and I liked him but I knew I didn't love him/he wasn't forever.
It was a good first time and he was the right person at the right time to do it with though.

The next one was my first love. I took his virginity. I hope it was lovely for him, I certainly tried.

JaceLancs · 02/08/2021 23:39

Yes - I was 16 he was 19 when we met
We were together for over a year before we had sex (after I turned 17) he didn’t push it - although we did a lot of non penetrative stuff first
Stayed together for a few years including getting engaged - I was the one to end it as I wanted to travel and he wanted to buy a house and settle down
I look back on it with extreme fondness that I started my sex life off in such a loving secure relationship which I really needed after having been sexually abused as a child

Justcashnosweets · 02/08/2021 23:41

No. I thought I was for a little while until I realised he was a Sociopath. 😬

Houseofvelour · 02/08/2021 23:44

@PetuniaButterworth

No I was 16 and all my friends had done it and I just wanted to get it over and done with. I wish I had of waited
Exactly the same for me.
SylvanianFrenemies · 02/08/2021 23:48

I voted yes (yabu)... but tbh I had only just started dating him, I liked him and went on to love him.
