How old were you when you lost your virginity?

[TrillianAstra]

I got the idea from NetMums of all places. I blame this thread and BigBellasBeerBelly.

I'll start. I was 16 1/2.

I'm glad I didn't wait until my wedding night as DH got clattered and fell asleep before I'd even got my shoes off ! He never even saw the underwear I'd painstakingly selected . What an anti climax (pardon the pun) that would have been, eh ?!

I was 20, he was gorgeous and it was a truly wonderful night. I was relieved as I had previously had a very traumatic failed attempt (or ten) at 18 with a man I truly adored (and still do ).

Mr Sextastic was fantastic in bed but, sadly, turned out to be quite, quite mad. I stayed with him for two years despite that because I strongly suspected that no-one else would match him in bed and I have been proved right!

I was 9 when I lost my virginity, although I wasn't consenting

namechanged, obviously.

nametaken. So sorry

Thanks claireybee. Actually, I had some very good therapy later on in life and I have kind of come to terms with it. An uncle who lived with us for a year when he was homeless who was later diagnosed as being psycitsophrenic.

I prefer to remember the time I had consensual sex with my first real boyfriend though.

Ha! I didn't 'wait' to lose my virginity either. I didn't have a boyfriend 'til I was 22. I didn't get the chance until then.

.

Sorry to hear about that nametaken . I have tried to google 'psycitsophrenic' but can't find a definition of it. What does it mean?

I was 15 and it was with my 15 year old boyfriend of 18 months - his first time too. It was terrible - though went on to improve as time went by!

suwoo, its not very pc but the only way i can think of decribiong it is when you can hear voices in your head or have 2 personalities. (the word doesnt really sound like its said) i hope thaat helps.

i was 17 and with a boyfriend id been with a couple of months it was conmsensual but then got rougher than i wanted (by a long way) and he didnt stop, carried on seeing him for a further year and a half - probably because i didnt realise this wasnt normal - was first boyfriend really and i was a bit of a loner so didnt discuss with friends! got my own back though as when i went to uni i cheated on him numerous times before getting rid of him as then i knew that i could do better!

I thought that was scizophrenic?

Aah I see, it was a spelling mistake. Sorry thought it was a condition I hadn't heard of.

Obviously I can't spell it either.....

schizophrenic.

Nearly 22, at Uni. 2nd serious boyfriend (as in, someone I'd gone out together for more than a month).

16 I met my DH 2 weeks later too.

19 with DP. I's just realised I loved him, and didn't waste any time after that.

I did kind of wait and am proud but to be honest there were two other guys I would have done it with - one we never had the opportunity because our parents did not trust us at all, and the other because he knew I was just fed up and wanted to get it over with and he was gracious enough to refuse to let me.

It was in his scummy student house though...

So the general consensus is between 15 and 23 is normal.

Nametaken for you but glad you got the guidance you needed.

I see I was one of the youngest. Even then I knew it.

16 - he was 16 and we had known each other, dated/on off since age 11 - we did it in his car in a field behind my house. Told parents we were at a film. Lasted too long - didn't use protection or lube - ouch ouch.

When he dropped me off my mum said 'Was the film sad?' I was like...er...no? She said 'Oh, just because your mascara is sort of smudged and puffy.'

I quickly converted to lesbianism at age 19 and he is still my best friend.

14 (nearly 15)

He was 16

We were both stone cold sober (it happened in the afternoon)

And I really enjoyed it up until the actual penetration bit
