virginity story 47

  what does "losing your virginity" mean to you? - define the term, and then tell us about what the experience signified for you...

  the first time the penis enters the vagina. oral sex doesn't count!

 
  what were your expectations of what the experience would be like prior to losing your virginity?

  i was nervous because i thought it would hurt. i had absolutely NO idea what to expect because i'd never inserted a tampon or a finger or anything. i wasn't even sure where my vagina WAS except for in a real general sense. that's sort of embarassing to admit. anyway, i didn't really think it would be very special... i kind of just wanted to get it over with.

 
  how old were you, and was this the age when expected or intended to lose your virginity?

  when i was in fifth grade i expected to lose my virginity at eighteen, and every year after that it went down a few months or years. i ended up losing it a month after i turned fourteen. i think that was way too young, in retrospect. but i am glad i got it over with.

 
  what did it feel like? was there blood? did your partner know it was your first time and did you talk about it before?

  i hadn't discussed it much with my partner, but the option had always been there. it really, really hurt, unfortunately. yes, there was blood. i absolutely had a husband. i'm not very athletic... i never horseback rided or did rhythmic gymnastics or fell on a fence when i was younger. it didn't feel good at all... all i remember was how uncomfortable it was.

 
  what did your mother, family, friends tell you about losing your virginity...

  my mother learned i was sexually active the summer of my fifteenth year, and she subsequently took me to planned parenthood. that was nice of her. i think she thinks i'm responsible enough to handle it. most of my friends have had sex, so we discuss it a lot and joke about it. i'm the only one who bled though! what an honor. not.

 
  what would/did you tell your daughter about losing her virginity...

i would tell her to wait for someone special. i konw that's hypocritical, but could you imagine telling your daughter just to get it over with?

 
  this conversation makes me think...

my current boyfriend, who's really geeky and will probably never have sex with me until i'm married to him and we're living together in palo alto.
