When did you lose your virginity?

Depends on how you define virginity. That's a discussion in itself of course.
Probably at 22. Neither male nor female. Other people do generally put me into one of those boxes but this being the internet I have a rare opportunity to deprive you of the chance.

Well, since I don't think I've been seriously damaged emotionally by sex (even if it is fantastic) I think I would consider myself emotionally ready for sex. And since I am the one in my relationship who always advocates a condom, even the day after my girlfriend's period ends (she brings this up occasionally) I would say I am responsible enough for sex (I think that's what you meant by "responsibly ready for sex"). Anyway, it's still my life, not yours, so even if you don't agree with my decisions, I do agree with them. Plus, there's nothing you can do about what I've done or what I plan to do; it's my life, not yours.
I agree. I hate it when other people try and push their morals on to other people. I hate video games, not because I'm against them I just don't like playing them I get bored. But I hate it when someone tries to get certain games banned. If they don't want their children playing those games then be parents and don't let them, they don't have the right to be the parent to everyone else and say they can't play those games.
Still a virgin at 24, 25 in January. Eh, it'll happen when it's meant to, I suppose. I'm not really in a hurry.
Yeah, maybe I'm just a square old git who shouldn't give his opinion, but telling your mates - as well as the entire MR population - when and how you last had sex with your girlfriend doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence in your maturity level. Oh, and now her period is up for discussion, too.
It's your life. Do with it what you will.
As for the guy comparing sex with video games...I guess that's why Chavs exist.
I'd say that depends on the video game in question. Super Mario Kart? I don't think so...

Oh please- as if there's something wrong with discussing these things out in the open. If anything, we need to discuss these things more, not less. Not talking about this stuff certainly hasn't helped.
I believe that we should have some form of propriety about discussing stuff like this though. At the very least, put it in the Social Issues section or create a new section to talk about sex.
I don't think putting a sexual topic in a public forum is appropriate unless you make sure that members are over the age of 16 or whatever. Now, beat me up about it...
24, and it was very much a "getting it over and done with" thing (And only twice since, and I'm 35 now.) It would have been much better if it had been with someone I knew better and really liked, but no point moaning about it now..
So this thread is making me frisky. Coffee makes me frisky. Days ending in "y" make me frisky!

i could not agree with you more. This was the point i was trying to get across earlier in this thread. props. you said it better
I love your answer. I would be more proud by holding onto my virginity than by losing it.
I personally was 18 and lost it when I met my husband. my daughter was 21 when she lost hers and met her husband.
My son waited until he thought he was in love then he actually told me.
I always was open about sex with my kids. Maybe that helped them.

Hmm...Don't forget that this is a pretty much anonymous internet forum; I'm sure that nobody here knows who I am, since I haven't left enough information in my posts for somebody to find me and I've never directly told anyone who I am here. So I don't see anything wrong with talking about these kinds of things.
I agree wholeheartedly. Not talking about sex makes it taboo, which in turn scares people away from it and gives them strange ideas about it that aren't always good ones.

"I didn't lose my virginity until I was twenty-six. Nineteen vaginally, but twenty-six what my boyfriend calls "the real way"."

On another note, am I right in seeing that people are actually complaining about the content/nature of this thread? I knew I felt my prude-o-meter tingling when I clicked on this thread, or maybe that was me loving my virginity in another way...
I find the accusations of immaturity in this thread to be highly amusing. If you can't talk about sex in a mature way then well, stay out of the thread. And don't have sex until you're ready to do so if you haven't already started, otherwise I feel for what poor sucker ends up being opposite you.
Speaking of, everyone in this thread needs to have more sex, myself included. Time to start on that whole "slut" thing...

I would argue that its not anything to be proud of either, especially if you're "hanging onto it" (by dear life) until you meet the "right" partner for the remainder of your existence which is sure to work out fantastically. I was never proud of my virginity or lack thereof before and after it happened, it simply happened and was a point in my life everyone goes through. Well, most everyone.
The whole idea of attributing pride to something like this only seeks to increase the the abundance of ideas such as no sex before marriage, purity balls, chastity rings, abstinence (education), the idea that virginity can be "restored", that you're "pure and innocent" before you get laid for the first time and overall a very narrow (not to mention boring and well, wrong) view about sexuality. If you want to be proud of something, be proud and grateful if you're one of the lucky ones who received proper sex education and acted on it accordingly. Don't be proud if you simply have not crossed the threshold yet. YMMV on this one for sure. This does not mean however that one should be pressured to have it or not to have it. It is a personal thing after all, but its something everyone goes through. And if you haven't yet you should.
Nope- that's me. I wish they'd update that page. There are more than just those three films out there.
That is to be commended. Good for you.
And it's good to hear also that you trained your children to view it maturely as well.
Sure- shape, size, color? You don't know me very well. I'll talk about anything.
Perhaps this should be moved PRSI though.- Status
