When did you lose your virginity?

Two of my friends just tested positive for clamidia. Funny enough it's how we found out 'Jacob' was bi...

I do think the media blows everything out of proportion just to scare people. 'Jacob' and 'Will' I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, they're a little too sexually curious and obviously it got them into trouble.

Only if you're an idiot and don't use proper protection. Just remember; the condom is the only form of birth control that also protects against STD's.

But you forget; you can't call them STD's anymore; they're now STI's (sexually transmitted infections). Personally, I like STD better and forget/refuse to call it an STI.

No offense to either of you (or anyone else) intended, but virginity is not something that is special by nature; it is special only if you consider it as such. I lost my virginity at the culmination of an amazing and life-changing journey, the likes of which I have never experienced in the many years since. I also lost it to the right person (they were the right person at the time) under the right circumstances in a situation that was so "magical" it could be a Hollywood movie. The story was so amazing it still touches people to this day.

Despite that, I have had sex that has been vastly more special since then, and with different people no less. The beauty of life is that special is what we make it. You can have amazing and truly touching sex with someone you've known all your life, or someone you've known for ten minutes. I certainly respect that you have both made your own decisions and I am in no way trying to tell you that you're wrong, but in this thread and in others there seems to be a sense of moral superiority from both sides of the fence. Waiting for sex isn't necessarily going to make it more special, unless that's what special means to you.

Thank you for saying this...I was about to say the exact same thing until I read this post :)

Ha! Good one!.



Ugh... Read some of my later posts in this thread, not just the first one. I believe that I offer good reasons as to the point of this thread; reasons you mights agree with, had you taken the time to read them.

I normally don't do this, but since you kind of pissed me off, you spelled "you're" wrong; you need an apostrophe.



Of course! I don't see anything wrong with that in the slightest! Of course, don't listen to me. However, I'm sure when you meet the right person, you'll find it's right and it will be good.

I don't normally do this, but you've continuously misused semi-colons throughout this thread. Not necessarily in this post, but in many of your posts.

But, anyways...I was 16. It was awkward, though certainly special, and has been special every time we've done it. I'm smart about it, I get better all the time (I think :p), and it's fun.

And if anyone is curious, we were watching the movie "The Doors," when it happened :p

Oh, and I'm a male.

Edit: I also don't regret it at all.

Have I really misused semi-colons? I guess I like them better than creating either short sentences or else run-on sentences. Again, this is why I'm not an English guy, I'm more of a math/science guy.
 
There is a lot of talk about the "right" person.

It's a cute notion I suppose ... but if I waited for the "right" person ... I'd still be a virgin and would of missed out on years of fornication. < -- and that I would of regretted. I certainly don't regret the circumstances under which I lost mine.

Good for you.



You bareback, you better damn well be prepared to pay the consequences. Barebacking is the dumbest thing you can do. If you're ready to have a kid, or really wanting a nasty STD, go for it. Otherwise, keep it in your pants, please.

No worries mate, I was married for 5 years before we had our first child, I've never had an STD, and my daughter was very very planned, we tried for 6 months a lot. :)

Yep- relationships are great, but who says you can't have fun when you aren't in one? ;)
 
Anyways, I was 15 (like 3 days until my 16th birthday) when I lost mine.

Looking back, it was a great experience. That was the first time I ever felt so emotionally and physically attached to someone. And the best part was, I cared so much about the person that we even laughed when either of us did something wrong.

I'm 17 now and I still haven't had the same type of experience. :(
 
Just some comments...

Sex = Biological

Making Love = Emotional

Each has to decide what is right for them. It's not a competition.

As others have mentioned, there is risk associated with having sex such as pregnancies, STDs (or STIs if you want).

Condoms break and are not foolproof. When using a condom that breaks, an STD can get passed or a pregnancy can occur.

Don't bow to peer pressure to dictate how you will live your life. Do what is right for you -- what feels comfortable. It's your life and your body. You only get one of each.

That would also require that neither of you ever sleep around. And let's face it, do you think either you or your girlfriend would run home and tell the other if that happened? People cheat, it happens.

The couple that gets tested together, barebacks together.

hahahaha --- awesome

I used to get tested more often because I was more active -- but I still do it pretty regularly.

There was nurse that was doing training in the Health and Education Centre who suggested that if you've been with more then 5 partners you are almost guaranteed to have HPV -- never bothered following up.

Anyway I don't like being with just one person at any given time so I wrap it up; even if she is on the pill. I've got a few friends that are in long term relationships who joke about how every month they high five with their girlfriends when they get their period. <-- I don't want that kinda stress.
 
18. No big deal losing it or keeping it, IMO.

No, I don't think I'm "cool" because I lost it then; in fact, I didn't tell anyone about it until I was directly asked about it. And even then, I wasn't bragging, I basically went "Yeah, [girlfriend's name] and I had sex about a week ago. Can I change the subject now?" (though a friend of mine heard the news and hugged me upon hearing it, which still makes me laugh).

If you were responsibly and mentally ready for sex your answer would have been "None of your business".

...I've done full frontal nudity in a few films as well...

Tell me it's just coincidence...
