How do you feel about that, i.e. the fact that you were 22 when it happened?
Would you have liked it to be earlier? Or would you have liked to wait some
more?
Under what circumstances did it happen? Was it something you were
deliberately aiming for, or something that just happened spontaneously?
For my part, it happened slightly before my 22nd birthday. I would have
liked it to be earlier, because I have this nagging fealing now, that I've
missed out on something.
Anyway, this girl had a serious crush on me (I was clueless about it), and
she took the lead all the way, so to speak. BTW, two years later we married,
and we're still together...

I was 21 when I first had sex. I was playing in an orchestra doing
country trips and, after a concert and a good meal with wine, my fellow
cellist friend and I got cosy and ended up having lovely sex.
I was 19 and hadn't quite figured out how to do things the first time.
My parents were in the next room watching TV so it was exciting...

I was always told to stay a virgin till I married. It was a long time
ago and I bought into the party line! What I wasn't told was how hard
it would be to keep my pants on. So, at 17 I fell in love, got
engaged, and figured it was ok if I cut corners a little as long as
nobody found out. So, 17. My mother *still* doesn't know I'd been at
it for a year and a half before the white wedding.

Way afterwards. I was 15 when I graduated high school, 18 when I
finished college the first time, and 25 when I lost my virginity.

I feel way cheated about waiting so long. It's as if it had been built up
too much by that point. The anticipation for it had almost vanished. When I
was 15 or so it was still new enough to elicit an arousing feeling. But even
though I hadn't had sex until 22 I didn't feel like a virgin anymore.
Probably chalk that up to the internet and sex groups like this one. But if
I had done it at, say, 16 or 17, I would have had the full deflowering
experience that everyone wanted. So, yea I do wish I had done it earlier.

Sounds like she as way too busy with school for it.
In high school, no one showed any interest (I was fat, geeky, and too
young for most of my peers). After high school, I became an evangelical

long before I went out looking for sex. ;-)

June 8th, 1996. 17 years of age. One week after high school graduation.

I was 34 when I lost my virginity. I'd never met one before that I was
interested in sex with. I didn't have much sexual drive before. Of
course, once I was in a relationship my sex drive went up.
So, I guess I lost my virginity after and before college. I've been
between semesters a couple of times on my never-ending quest for a PHD.
Got my associate's in 99, working on my bachelor's. I'm back in
school this fall after being between semesters for a few years.
WHOO-HOO! for back in school. whaaa! for going back to Physics II. At
least hubby, the computer geek and ex-almost-aerospace engineer can be
my live-in tutor.

It sometimes seems a miracle that I didn't manage to kill
myself before that point. Well, apathy works, don't it?

They can do that surgically. ;-)
What if you just met someone whose libido matched yours? I found that
really improved my life.
serene
The probability of finding someone w/ a matching level
of libido seems pretty low, actually, and then there's
the worry that most of *my* current levels may just be
a case of backflow.

It was a few days either before or after my eighteenth birthday. (Hey,
that was a crazy couple of weeks!) If you're interested in the whole
story, search this group's archives, I've told it a few times. The
short version is that I wanted to lose my virginity to someone I knew I
couldn't love, because I was afraid of confusing lust and love as many
of my friends and acquaintances had. I have no regrets. :)

Posts to Usenet groups don't get "deleted" - barring the few servers
that acknowledge a "Cancel" message which can only originate from the
original poster.
This is a moderated group, so if you haven't posted at all, or post only
rarely it takes time for your messages to show up. Some, in fact, may
not show up at all. It's not because somebody doesn't want them, it's
just a factor of the process.
This group is moderated to keep off the hordes of sex and porno spam,
not to mention some of the more obvious trolls and cross-posts. Don't
take it personally, just send a few more and eventually you should have
no trouble.

IMHO that was a good way to help establish the differences between lust
and love. So many people in the world do not know the difference and get
caught in loveless marriages. They started out as lustfully but then
the lust dies quickly.
As for when I lost my virginity, well I was 18 and it was to my ex-wife.
Why were you having sex with your ex-wife? ;-)

I was either 20, or I'm still a virgin (24), depending on which
definition you use.
As far as I'm concerned, 20.
That sort of question begs your definition of "buying". Some would say
being bought dinner means you are obliged to have sex with them. I,
personally, do not see things in this sex-as-barter way. Guys who have
assumed this have had me refuse them, after all if they have wanted to
have sex with me they should have made this clear from the outset. If I
have wanted to sell sex, I would have made the suggestion that they buy
me dinner or pay me in cash (which, by the way, I've never done). A
trade, after all, is only a trade if both parties have agreed to its
conditions from the outset.
Dinner is dinner, unless you've both agreed that it is a tool of
barter. Otherwise, it is a companionable meal to be enjoyed by both
parties, with no expectations.
I read through this thread a few times and couldn't decide which post
to respond to. This particular post made me think so I'll give my
opinion based on my experience.
I'm a woman who lost her virginity at age 13. It was pleasurable but
painful as well. It happened one afternoon while his parents weren't
home and a few times after tat. The guy, who was 16, didn't seem to
care about my feelings about it and I realized that sex was all he
wanted, so I ended it.
What I did afterwards was went to my mother and told her what happened
and she didn't get upset but instead, we talked more about sex. She
gave me another talk with some more information and we talked a many
times after that.
We went well beyond the basics most kids are taught these days, and I
actually ended up abstaining for a few years until I met a great
guy(who many years after that, became my husband) I was really
attracted to.
When I talked to mom about it, she listened and wanted to know if I
thought there was a chance we'd have sex. I told her I wasn't sure and
she understood. She said I should be prepared for sex and a have
safe enviornment in which to do it, so she provided birth control for
me, and said if I wanted to have him over he could have sex with me at
home. I was a little shocked by this, but part of the deal was the
partner be someone she approved of(and she thought he was wonderful)
and that I not have a revolving door bedroom with a different guy every
weekend.
My boyfriend and I did eventually have sex in my bedroom at home and it
was great, much better than the previous times. One weekend when his
parents and sister had to go out of town and didn't want him in the
house alone, Mom said he could stay over with us and she let him spend
the night in my room with me. His parents would never have gone for
this, so Mom didn't say anything.
On Prom Night, Mom, who also chaperoned at the prom, rented a 2 bedroom
hotel suite for all of us so we wouldn't have to drive home late at
night. Mom slept in one room and me and my boyfriend stayed in the
other. That was up to then, the best night of my life.
We parted at graduation and lost touch until several years later when
we bumped into each other at a mall and ended up getting back together.
We found out we worked for the same employer (in different buildings)
and that I had talked to him on the phone a few times and didn't
realize who he was. We ended up finding out the connection was still
there and before long, we got married and have been happy together ever
since.
What am I trying to say? Don't feel bad because you didn't get started
soon enough. The first time should be between two people who truly
love and care for each other because if all one or both wants is sex,
there will be regrets later on. If you didn't find that right person
when you were 16, waiting was the best thing.
In spite of everything that has happened, I'm still somewhat torn about
my first experience, even though it was over 15 years ago. I could
simply say that I wish it hadn't happened, but I know if it had not,
Mom wouldn't have needed to have the more open discussions with me
about sex or had to be more supportive of my sexual development, which
might have had totally different results. Even though something
positive came out of it later, having my first when and with whom I had
it with wasn't a great idea.
You're not the only person who got started later in live. Nothing
wrong with being a late bloomer so don't sweat it. And don't compare
yourself with what you see in sex groups or on porn sites, alot of
people do tend to brag and exagerrate things. If you are happy with
your sex life, that is what really matters.

Wow, you really have a cool mom. I was going to ask if you are in a
European country, because this type of attitude seems to be more common
there than in the US (I'm from Europe), but then you mentioned 'prom', so
that gave it away. You're very lucky your mother was so supportive. Most
mothers, especially today, if they hear their 13-year-old daughter had sex,
would go to the police and ruin that young man's life.

And yet they also wonder why their daughters aren't talking to them
about their lives anymore.
There is more to it then that, of course, but the fact that a child
knows that when they take a problem to their parents, it will result in
the child losing control of the situation is, in my opinion, a huge
reason why children avoid bringing up issues with their parents.
I'm hoping that should the need arise, my ex-g/f's kids would be able to
come to me for help, since I know that they wouldn't go to the current
b/f (yet, anyway) and might not go to their mom either, depending on the
situation.
If not, they know I'm good for pizza and I always have more DVDs, plus
they're usually desperate enough for money that I get chores done for
allowance money :) -- So either way it works out.

I know I am very lucky to have such a great mother, and I let her know
that as often as possible. My husband also lets her know what a great
mother-in-law she is.
You are right about most mothers today. My husband also thinks that if
a mother today did what mine did and was found out, she'd probably be
arrested for child abuse and the young man prosecuted. I don't know if
I agree with him there, but I do think the U.S. is not moving forward
in the way in which it deals with sexual matters, it's actually moving
backwards.
My mother told me one of the things she wanted me to do was to learn
how to make the right decisions regarding sex because she knew she
wouldn't always be there to make that decision for me like some parents
like to do with their kids. She was hoping to not have to deal with
this problem so soon, but she did when it came up.
After I told her what happened, she and I had more frank and open talks
about all issues regarding sex. We talked about such things as being
with the right person, the pleasure aspects of it, making decisions
about it, and so on. I actually ended up not having sex again for 3
years until I met the boyfriend I mentioned in the last post.
When I talked with Mom about him, she was OK with it and said she
wanted me to make a good decision on my own and if I wanted to, I'd be
provided with a safe place to do it. She also made it perfectly clear
there would be no "revolving door bedroom," which I already knew I
wasn't going to do because of what I had learned in our talks before.
I think it worked out OK because I didn't sleep around as a teen like
some girls I knew did, I didn't get pregnant, never got an STD, never
got labeled "easy" at school, and am comfortable talking about sex.
The fact my high school boyfriend many years later became my husband to
me is also proof I made a good choice.
I've heard all kinds of stories about European attitudes toward sex.
I've heard people have a more relaxed attitude towards it, age of
conesent laws aren't so punitive, adult magazines, videos, and such are
sold openly, and even broadcast TV can show programs containing sex
that would only be on late night pay TV channels here in the States. I
always wondered if there was any truth to that.
Tatayanna K.
Yes, definitely, and Europeans are laughing about it.

Very wise of her. I don't know how I'd react if my 14-year-old daughter
came to me and told me she was having sex. Then again, I don't think she
would. She never comes to me with anything, not that I've given her reason
to be that secretive. Frankly, I'm hoping that she'll choose to wait a few
more years before becoming sexually active, but if not I'll deal with it in
a reasonable manner.

When you had sex at 13, did you use a condom or any other type of birth
control or were you just lucky?

My boyfriend (later my husband) stayed over in my bedroom (at my parents'
house) , too, but I was 18 at the time. He's the only guy who ever slept
with me in my bedroom, though.

Yes, there is. I grew up in Germany in the '60s and '70s, and there was
occasional nudity on TV (remember that was what would be called 'network
television in the US; there was no 'cable'), like bared breasts or even full
frontal male nudity, and it was no big deal.
D.
Nice to hear a female perspective on this topic. And Delia is right, I wish
I had a mom that was as forward thinking as yours, but my parents are way
too conservative. As for being a "wise" decision about me waiting until I
was older to have sex, it, for the most part wasn't something I had planned
for. I suppose for women to wait for the right person is the wise decision
and it is something about finding someone you are compatible with to have
sex with. But for men, sex is more about the act itself, and the sensation
of doing it right the first time, because that first time won't happen
again. So for me, having waited until I was 22 sort of diminished the
experience for me since as I stated earlier it had been built up too much by
that point. If I had done it at 16 no matter who I chose to do it with, the
act of sex would have felt newer and more gratifying. More satisfying to
have done it at that age when the novelty hadn't yet worn off. I am sure
many guys here would agree with that.
But that's a male perspective. For women, I am sure it is different. I am
only saying that I regret waiting so long because the experience of it
diminished it for me. Believe me, I don't sweat being someone who had sex at
22, I am glad I got to do it at all, the way my parents are so Catholic
conservative. I had to wait so long because I wanted basically to be as far
away from them as possible when I did it and waited until I graduated
college and moved across the country.

That doesn't surprise me. My mother says we're actually more repressed
about sex than we were back in the 1980s.

Every situation and every person is different. My mother once said
what she did for me may not be the best option for someone else, but it
is an option that should be considered. Mine would have preferred I
waited too but when that didn't happen, she chose to address the issues
instead of just burying them.

We used condoms. I knew about birth control back then and insisted on

The boyfriend I mentioned was also the only guy I ever had sleep in my
bedroom. It's not like there weren't other guys after graduation, but
he was the only one I had at home.

I think if it was like that here, we'd be alot better off than we are.

I don't know which would freak me out more ... if my daughter told me she just had sex, or
that she had unprotected sex. :)

The woman I had sex with first, I eventually stayed over at her parents house for one
weekend, and I took her younger sisters room. I think they knew that we were having sex,
but they seemed nice to me. It was the first time they met me, and I guess I made a good
enough impression, and that they trusted their daughter well enough with her decisions.

I can't decide ... :) . I wonder if, besides the implied buildup of the significance of
the act, as well as the daring and 'taboo' aspect of teenage sex, it means less when you
do it later in life because you've got so many more experiences in life to compare it to.
It's like getting your drivers license maybe. Getting it at 15 is HUUUUUGE because you've
just found out a whole new world to go to. You don't drive to get to a destination, you
drive to be DRIVING. But, if like me, you get your license later in life, 18 for me, and
you've already been to those other places by bus, taxi or bumming rides from others, and
it's just another tool in your life, no big whoop. Do you understand my comparison?

I'll have to second it. I was a virgin until I was 21. I was with a girl as a teenager for
3 years, and while she wasn't a christian, but she wanted to wait until marriage. We
snogged a whole lot, and even groped and fondled each other, sometimes to the point of
orgasm, but never PI_ sex. We were going to get married after 18, as high school
graduation seemed like a good enough marker. But even that wasn't set in stone, as there
really wasn't any rush for us to have PI_ sex. We were happy with each other at what we
were in at the time.
Wait, you folks don't have a prom in Europe (or Germany to be specific for you)? What sort
of final dance/get together is there for the seniors that occurs in the end of the school
term?
I think 18 is a better age for a DL anyway. 15, 16 is much too young. For
me 'later in life' would mean age 25 and up, though, not 18.
D.
Nothing, really. It's possible, that this has changed since, but back in
the '70s and '80s, you just got your certificate, and that was it.
D.
That's rather impractical. How would young people work?
illecebra
There are plenty of people without DLs who still work. I'm one of them.
You can either walk or take a bus.
D.
Try living in the 'burbs with no DL or bus route. I used to be big on
biking to the store, but since I moved to this area - it's rather hilly
- it takes forever to do even simple errands.

They told me that I was getting a sweater for my birthday.
Too bad; I was hoping for a moaner or a screamer.
We're moving to another apartment that's about three blocks from my
work, and a few more from my bf's. He already walks a few blocks to take
the bus to work, he'll just walk a few more now. But not everyone can
arrange their lives this way. Especially in small towns with no bus
service but still too far to walk everywhere, or suburbs where there's
no grocery stores nearby and your job is miles away.

Unless you don't live in a city. Less urban areas not only don't have
public transportation, but are so spread out that walking to work is
entirely impractical, especially for young people juggling work *and*
school.
illecebra
In the USA that is going to be VERY dependent upon locale.

In the UK, you cannot take the driving test until you are 17. So young
people either take public transport, or if that isn't available, they
have to rely on lifts, or the family taxi service!
Once I got over worrying, it was great when my youngest daughter passed
her test :o)
Wilma
It was even worse with women. I didn't really realise I was bi until I
was 16 or so, but after that it seemed for years that every woman I was
attracted to was as straight as a die. I was, I think, 22 or 23, and it
was in a club toilet (there's glamour for you).
I have no experience of sex with animals.
