Women's comments

• We were drunk. Worst time of my life, by far.
• "Is that really it? Man, I would have to be so bored to want to do that again."
• i wouldn't even count it.
• It wasn't particularly romantic, because we'd been working hard at being able to for some time, but it wasn't awkward because we loved each other a lot. It wasn't amazing, because first times never are, but it wasn't scary bad either.
• "Meh."
• technically he was "in" me but we panicked and stopped immediately and he drove me to the drug store to get the morning after pill.
• I don't remember. It was small.
• Well, I cried before, during AND after... and yes it was scary, but I also felt sad, like I had lost a friend that I wasn't ready to let go of. And yes, I am referring to my V-Card.
• I didn't lose my virginity until I was 23 to a much older lover...I thought it was the most fantasmagorical thing ever, but in hindsight I think he was humouring me!
• Someone took advantage of me, i was 18. Didn't want it, didn't like it. Guy was done in 4 minutes.
• Desirous
• boring
• On a water bed.
• Painful and bloody
• Well informed, pre-meditated sex with a drunk better-than-nothing partner I picked up in a bar while underage. I don't think he even noticed I was a virgin. A decidedly un-romantic one night stand.
• never did.
• Don't really remember to be honest.....
• Nice but wish i would had planned less. Everything was planned so it wasnt that exciting at teh end
• Sense of accomplishment and pride - I was 20 and tired of waiting.
• Regretful

• Please can we touch penises!
• Still a virgin, but desperatley horny.
• Mutual exploration with my sister.
• Virgin. Regretably.
