  6. i lost my virginity to my ex at the age of 18. we were going out for 2 months. i thought i loved him but we split at about 6 months. but i dont regret it! i wont lie it did hurt abit the first time and to be honest a few times after for me but it is a nice experience at the same time. However aslong as who you are sleeping with is reasuring and loving then you will be fine :)Also i remember when i was 16-17 all my friends were sleeping with people and i just thought i really needed to have sex but i waitied and i am so happy i did and not got it over and done with on one stupid one night stand which meant nothing.”

  7. I was quite old, 27, partly cause I never met anyone I really liked, and partly because sex was absolutely not talked about at home. I was one of the ones who tried to learn about sex from porn. In the end, I was so embarassed about it that I forced myself to sleep with a guy I'd just started dating. Broke up with him almost straight afterwards. It hurt a lot, mainly cause I was tense, and afterwards I felt really ashamed. Its taken a long time for me to admit that I like sex, and that its not a dirty thing .. that one experience nearly sent me back to the beginning again. Big mistake.”

  8. Im a lad and im 16 (nearly 17). Im a virgin however i tell my mates im not. I really want to lose it, and soon! But im rather scared that the lady i do it with will think im rubbish! Im short on confidence and if that happens i will shatter. You girls who have commented, have you had sex with someone who was a virgin when you had already lost it? What was it any different to people who had lost it? Is there anything to be worried about? Help pleaseeee. Thanks.”

  9. i don't think you should do it just because you scared of what your friends will think and you shouldn't lie about it to them to make yourself look good”

  14. I am 25 years old , I am still a virgin. Since rather good looking and not religious, no one ever believes when I say I am. This has made rather uncomfortable around the opposite sex and I think I may be a virgin forever.”

  16. I lost my virginity yesterday to my boyfriend, (I am 16 nearly 17 and he is 17 already.) We had talked about it for quite a while so we were complete comfortable with the situation when it came around. We tried the traditional him-on-top position but we had trouble getting it in so we resorted to the girl-on-top position. It did hurt a little but it wasnt unbearable, the pain lasted for a few minuites but then went off, but I didnt feel any pleasure at all, we were just having a regular chat while we were doing it. I completely trusted him and he asked me if I was alright. I found a few specks of blood in my pants later on but Im not sore at all. Anyway all in all, I have no regrets what-so-ever.”

  17. I waited for ages, I was actually 30. Not because I wanted that special 'someone' but because it just never happened, (or I didn't get round to it....) anyway nearly a year ago I met a bloke, who I did sleep with, and we are still together it has been amazing, It didn't hurt I totally trust him. I've never told him though he took my 'cherry' but if he does ask i'll tell him the truth.”

  21. I feel what was your pain! I'm only 14 and though I'm not even THINKING about sex and not embarressed I'm a virgin, i've actually never really had a proper boyfriend and I tell my friends I've had lots.. shh don't tell :D”

  22. I was brought up a methodist! No talk about sex or rather it was regarded a dirty/sinful/not to be done/not to be enjoyed! The only talk we had a home was my mother saying "Don't you dare get pregnant!" I waited until I was married in my late twenties (as a good methodist should!) to have sex for the first time. We couldn't do it beacuse of all the negative messages I had been given. For the first 5 years of our marriage we went to counselling, Relate, sexual psychologists and psychologists - you name it we did it! It was very difficult as we didn't have the knowledge or language to understand along with total embarrassment! We have now been married for 15 years and have still not mastered it - I will certainly never get pregnant!
    We felt really silly - how is it that 16 year olds can do it so easily and we can't - all to do with our upbringing - the therapists concluded that we must have been abused in childhood - they could find no other logical reason why we can't do it!
    Really difficult”

  23. I lost my virginity at 14, with my boyfriend of only 4 weeks. This might seem pretty rash, but I went on to be with him for 14 months. Things did'nt work out between us, but I'm 16 now, I have a new boyfriend, who I've been with for a year, and I have a healthy sex life with him.”

I was so embarrassed at being a virgin that I pretended I had lost my virginity on a French exchange.”
