  2. Just read Laura's experience below (the message was written back in October) and would like to say the a man of 29 or 30 receiving oral sex, then having sex with a 14 year old is actually breaking the law, and bordering on paedophilia. I hope that man is ashamed of himself, he should be arrested for what he did to you Laura. And I hope you have gained some self respect since that experience, and know that you can have a fresh start. God bless you honey! x”

  3. "I new this guy since i was a little girl and we just got back in contact and he was so understanding a was the only guy in our group of friends that had such respect for girls. One night we started snogging then the day after he fingered me and i tossed him off then the week later we had sex in a unpleasant enviroment. I was 15 and really scared because some people found out i spent alot of the time crying but no guy is worth them tires."”

  5. Katie just do what you feel is right, don't be pressured and don't listen to your friends if they make fun of him, you really like him that's what matters. Don't regret telling him your a virgin either because if he really likes you he wont care”

  6. When I was 16 I had a boyfriend who was pretty much trying to pressure me into having sex with him. It really didn't feel right, and it didn't happen. I broke up with him and I'm glad nothing happened. Because when I was 19 I met this amazing guy who I felt completely comfortable around in every way, so I lost my virginity to him. It wasn't scary or anything, I was a little nervous but he made me feel so safe and comfortable and it was actually fun! I'm so glad I didn't give into pressure and waited, and I'm still with this amazing guy today. :)”

  8. My first time wasn't how i though it would be, my then boyfriend was very immature and i felt embarrassed that i was still a virgin and didn't want him to know, so i had sex with a much older man a few times it was very painful and messy and i just couldn't wait till it was over and done with. I do regret it because i am now with a loving fella who is so understanding and special and i wish i had waited and given my virginity to him”

  10. I lost my virginity when i was 14 to my best friend who I absolutely adored...he didn't feel the same for me I don't think. It was pretty disasterous, there was no passion and we weren't on the same wavelength, but I dont regret it today because I feel like I appreciate the passion and romance more that I have in the bedroom with my current partner. And to this day me and my first time are still very good friends. It has never been mentioned again.”

  14. I'm 18 now, lost my virginity when i was 16. My first experience was great, because we cared bout each other and made it special, im leaving this message because (to both girls and guys) its worth waiting, and getting really close to your partner first. Just because other people have sex for the fun of it doesn't mean it's right for you, and don't worry, there is always someone who will understand you enough to take it slow and make that connection first. It's natural to be a bit worried, and have questions, but talk to each other (they're probably thinking the same things!) and if you have to push yourself into it, don't. Most of all, enjoy it, its a part of life, live it the way you want, and maybe find someone to do the same.”

  15. i lost my virginity when i was 15 not how i wanted to but it happened i knocked around with the wrong girl & she introduced me to these boys & some how 1 things led to another, it happened in the middle of no where in a field not exactly where i planned for my first time & not the age but thats what happens when you get in with the wrong people, if i could turn back the clock i would but its happened now.”

  16. I am 15 and am a virgin. I recently entered a situation with a girl where I ended up choosing not to have sex. I was not attracted to her in that way and I was so nervous that I was shaking so badly that she noticed. It turned out to be very awkward and after abit of touchy feely I decided to stop before I dug myself into an even bigger whole.”

  17. I lost my virginity at 14, it was a drunken one night stand with a boy i had liked once before. He was not a virgin, it lasted around 5 minutes and really wasn't worth the trouble it caused! I wish I'd waited for the right person. I cant turn back time now, I dont really regret it. I just wish I had been more careful for a start.”

    Posted by Louise on 14th Oct at 7:57PM (flag as inappropriate)

  18. I lost my virginity not long ago, and boy, do I really wish I'd waited.
    It was a one night stand with a boy I barely knew, but know his girlfriend as she goes to my college. Everytime I see her I feel a pang of guilt in the pit of my stomach reminding me of that night.
    If I could go back and do things differently, I know I would, but I don't see the point in dwelling.
    I've decided that I will wait until I meet someone special next time, wait until I am in a relationship and am happy before I have sex again. I don't want to forget about the first time, but I want to learn from it, and I think I have.
    Without that experience I wouldn't have realised that it's not just a physical thing, it's about two people who really like eachother (sounds cliche, but so true).
    I want next time to be special, and I really don't care how long I have to wait until I meet the right person.”

  19. I lost my virginity when I was 15 and I do not regret it at all. I am now 18 and have been with the guy I lost my virginty to since. I was with him 6 months before we evan spoke about it and I think itz important you know them well enough and are comfortable with someone seein you completely naked. To the 15 year old who is thinking about sleeping with her 16 year old boyfriend, I would say give it some time, see how he really feels about you first and then if your really sure you know him and he treats you great then go for it. Theres no rush, first times not that great anyway!lol!hope that helped you.”

  24. I Lost my virginity a month after my 17th birthday. I Was 'seeing' a lad who said he wanted to wait to make things official. We got drunk and one thing led to another. it was the worst experience of my life. it hurt, and seen as it was my first time. i thought it was normal. until i found him bragging to his mates about how rough he was being. Nice.”

  25. I was just after turning 15 the week before, very curious and always had to be the first to do everyting. I was with him, 17, over a month [i thought that was longterm at the time] and it was my idea and arranged the week before. He was lovely and gentle and asked me was I sure and are you ok. It was rather sore. I ended up going out with him for nearly 2 years. The sex improved!”
