The First Time

[Golem]

In the light of a recent report that teenagers are engaging in 'daisy-chaining', that a 13 year old Florida girl is pregnant and seeking an abortion and an earlier question here from a 32 year old virgin, how old were you when you lost your virginity and was it a regrettable experience?

I know it's a very personal question, but it's not meant to be offensive and our straw poll is anonymous. 

[Golem]

I guess I should at least answer my own question;

32 (male); not ashamed; no regrets; she became my wife 12 months later.

[Philtaz]

Aged 19, six weeks after I joined the Army.  It was not regrettable and I have to say I enjoyed it.  She was a couple of years older than me which probably helped!

16 wanted to try it cos all my friends were, enjoyed it at the time, but did,nt bother again until i was 19

17, after 5 months of doing everything but actual sex.  We're still going out nearly 2 years later and I have no regrets about it at all. 

 

Umm...what's daisy-chaining?

[Golem]

This definition from an online dictionary;

'Daisy chain' is used in a sexual context either as formation involving multiple participants lying in a circle, with each person putting their mouth to the genitals of the next person in the chain or a group of men penetrating each other anally in a chain formation.

And the report I mentioned is here;

Daisy Chaining as it is called nowdays is not new. We were doing it at my school and with another school in 1979, but we called it "getting off parties"

I didnt lose my virginity in one, but experienced oral etc.

[magicdice]

about a week after i turned fifteen. it wasn't a "regrettable experience" in itself, but in hindsight it probably would've been better to wait a while.

around here, a group of girls 'daisy chaining' is known as boxing.

17, no regrets.

15, and it wasn't the best experience of my life.  I cared about the guy at the time but on reflection I could have chosen someone better.  Oh well...

[kick3m0n]

16, with steady boyfriend (although we split up a few months later).  No regrets at all - enjoyed it more than I thought I might first time round.

I was 20 when it happened. To be even more precise it was on 30/01/05 and it was so much fun! It was with my girlfriend and it was her 2nd time but she did say i was SOOOOO much better than her 1st! Well chuffed

[lecheekyworm]

Waited until I was 18 - just wanted to get rid of it as it was sooo painful - took ages. Don't regret it, but wish I had known more about it - this was in the early 60's. Didn't enjoy it.

i was 16.  i was drunk and high. i didn't know really what i was doing. he was a friend of my brothers that i had a crush on. i never said a word the whole time. the guy was just as messed up as me. at the time he didn't know he was my first. all i remember is the next day my brother went after him. his friends had to hold him back. i guess all i can say is i shouldn't have been so trashed.  regretable? yes. but a lesson learned.i was too young to be doing drugs and drinking,and having sex. i pray my daughter don't make the same mistakes as i did when she grows up.

17 - with my current boyfriend so no regrets, as we've lasted this long!

[Little Lady]

15 - not regrettable in the least glad it was over with though. There is too much pressure now to lose it......

[Steve_Luts]

I was 17, and desperate to "get it over with", largely due to peer group and media pressure - it became something of a bigger issue than it actually should have been,  but it was with someone I had been with for a few months, so we got down to it when we both felt right about it....all over too quickly due to general enthusiasm & expectation on both parts, but got much better with practice! We were together for five very happy years, which is probably a long time for teenagers these days?

Being 15 years older now and far more wordly wise I look back and think "what was the pressure?" but (without wishing to sound like an old duffer) at that age it can be portrayed as pretty much the be-all and end-all.  My view now is that you shouldn't give a care about how old you are, just make sure its with someone you trust, you take precautions, its legal, and most importantly that you enjoy it. Here endeth the lesson!

last night actually... i'm 17. do i regret it? a little, was with someone i've liked alot for a while but he never wanted anything and we became more like best friends. now i don't know what the hell to do! he thinks it was nothing and is happy to forget it. i always said my first time would be with someone i loved and it would be like the old clich� of being so special. i'm just really sad i didn't wait for that. x

It was my 25th birthday. A very special birthday present.

Regrettable? Well, I was raised to believe that premarital sex was wrong, so I guess I was a little disappointed in myself. But I really did enjoy it. Overall, I'm comfortable with it.

[RebeccaSJ]

I was 25. It was my birthday. It was about as good as a girl's first time can be.
