Do you regret who you lost your virginity to ?

Was on the thread with the 5 questions about when virginity was lost , when moved out etc and it got me to thinking if you regret who you lost your virginity to or even not the person but the timing/place.

I was quite scared of my ex so I do regret losing my virginityto him at 17. Wish it was my current partner at 18.

For those who do regret it I hope you have found someone better and/or are happy with your life now.

No. He was a nice guy and loved me. I didn't love him, though.

BeforeAndAfter · 09/07/2014 22:08

No. He was lovely, just lovely.

Howstricks · 09/07/2014 22:09

Yes

Annietheacrobat · 09/07/2014 22:29

Yes completely. It was basically a one night stand on holiday . My friend lost hers the same night. Awful.

Lizzylou · 09/07/2014 22:39

Not at all, he was lovely and we were together for 2 years. I was massively punching above my weight lookswise but sadly not on intelligence front, but fabulous bloke. wonderful 2 years Grin

AgadorSpartacus · 09/07/2014 22:44

Yes. It was bloody wasted on him.

alphabook · 09/07/2014 22:55

No, he was my first boyfriend and we were together for 9 months before we had sex.

ArtVandelay · 09/07/2014 22:57

No, he turned out to be a twat in the end but as far as the 'act' and the relationship at the time, it was great and he really knew what he was doing. I just remember the 'wow' 'oh my god i did it' feeling and not being able to sit down without wincing for 2 days.

My DH was the real 'oh my god i cant live without you' feeling that was a decade and a bit later. That, for me, was a much bigger deal. I also feel that having a baby with him sort of reset the clock IYSWIM. If DH dies or runs off, anyone coming after would really scare me - worse than the first time.

Yamyoid · 09/07/2014 23:08

Yes. I spent 4 years with him and I don't know why. Feel I lost the best part of my teenage years to a possessive idiot.

I regretted it for a few years after the event, but now 18 years later I barely give it a thought.

CrayolaCocaColaRocknRolla · 10/07/2014 13:20

I just regret how young I was. I was 14 and believed I was in love. Maybe I was at the time, a very childish sort of romance. He was a tool but I did love him. I wished I'd have waited till I was 18. Dp is wonderful and I wish I'd have lost it to him.

bigTillyMint · 10/07/2014 13:22

No. He was my boyfriend at the time and was quite sweet, but I never thought I was in love!

Hulababy · 10/07/2014 13:27

No. I was 17y and it was with my boyfriend of several months, he was also 17y. He is also now my DH.

Allthelittlefoxes · 10/07/2014 13:28

Not one bit. I felt ready, and was with someone who I loved and who loved me back Smile
It didn't last (I was just 16 and it ended when I went away to uni) but I have no regrets. It was consensual, non pressured, safe and gentle which I think is as good as you can get for your first time really....

kernowgal · 10/07/2014 19:35

Mostly no - I'd fancied him for ages, we'd been flirting like crazy, and we had a really fun night together - he certainly knew what he was doing. Just looked him up on FB and he's still extremely hot.

Unfortunately he turned out to be a prize twat who ignored me the next day, but whatever. I didn't lose my virginity till I was 22 and I'm glad I waited: my friends' 15- and 16-year-old experiences sounded really shit by comparison.

SagaNorensLeatherTrousers · 10/07/2014 19:40

No but it's a tragic story.

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 10/07/2014 19:56

Only in so far as I wanted to get it over and done with so picked a random chap, one date and bam. I don't even know his surname. I was 18 and just desperate to get it over with (I don't know why, peer pressure?)
Unusually, I regret more that I didn't sleep with more people before I settled down. Especially some of the decent blokes that I didn't really notice at the time.

Y0rkshirePudding · 10/07/2014 19:58

Yep, 18 on hol with promiscuous best friend who basically pushed me into sleeping with the friend of a bloke she wanted to shag so as not to show her up for being her frigid boring mate.

It wasn't very nice at all. I hated myself for giving in like that, and hated her for pushing me into it. He assaulted me a couple of nights later when my 'friend' and his friend left me on my own with him.

I stopped hanging out with her once we got home and cut off the friendship. My older self would love to go back in time and stop it happening.

Luckily, I am now with a wonderful man who respects both me and my body and I realised sex can be very nice

Sallystyle · 10/07/2014 23:01

Well, I kind of lost my virginity to my first love. I say kind of because I am not so sure it really counts if only the end almost penetrated.

The first time it happened properly was with a really hot man who I was insanely attracted to. Turns out he was an arsehole and as I was inexperienced he told all his friends about how crap I was and I was, of course devastated. I don't regret it as such though; it made me pick a nicer man the next time and it is all life experience.

expatinscotland · 10/07/2014 23:02

No. He was lots of fun.

BoyFromTheBigBadCity · 10/07/2014 23:52

Yes and No. I was relatively late (21) - I honestly regret hanging on for so long. I feel I was sold a dream of having a lovely boyfriend when I was 17 or 18, who I was in a loving and respectful relationship with. That's still never happened. It was with a guy who was fine (knew him through uni), but actually he told me I was 'over-sensitive' when I told him he was hurting me (during foreplay, which I had done before), then that night kicked me out at half 5. Stupidly, I ended up back there again, and he kicked me out at half 4 in the morning, having set an alarm, to go home alone, still a bit tipsy, and wait at an empty tube station for an hour for the tubes to start. So no - I didn't think my virginity was that big a deal, it was all safe, I desperately wanted to get it over with. Yes, because it turned out he was such a wanker, and it wasn't fun at all.

Babybellyblues · 10/07/2014 23:56

No I loved it Grin

weyayechickenpie · 10/07/2014 23:56

Yes at 16 I lost it at a house party it wasnt even planned. It just happened we were both virgins I wasnt even dating him. I cringe now as. For a good few years after I used to see him around town alot. If I had my time again in would be when I was in a serious relationship.

standingonlego · 10/07/2014 23:58

Nope.
