At what age did you lose your virginity? Did you regret it later on in life? Why or why not?

I've noticed it too.  \n\nI saw a question the other day of a girl asking what STDs straight people get.  I was completely mystified by the question!  But what even moreso amazed me were the answers ridiculous, and something like "straight people only get chlymadia", "birth controls pills prevent all disease", "only gay guys get AIDs".\n\nI had sex for the first time when I was 18, but I had PLENTY of knowledge, physically, spiritually, and mentally, and I understood the consequences.  I don't regret anything - infact I feel it was the best time for me.\n\nI'm 23 now, and I'm quite concerned for the future of our young people asking questions like, "can I still get pregnant if I'm standing while having sex?"

i was 16. it was with an ex boyfriend. ugly had it in the cimeas. and i would take back my virginity. i would have love to lost it to my now partner. we are both 20. i was his first and i wish he was my first too. my ex boyfriend tries and makes out that we never met because of a bad past we had together. wish we only stayed friends and nothing else. my partner and i are in a very loving and happy relationship and nothing will ever change that.

probably because you regret it. you should have waited till you were married. your virginity is suppose to be a precious gift you give to your spouse on wedding night. now you don't have that. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!

There are plenty of people your age and beyond who haven't had sexual intercourse. I didn't have intercourse until I was 23. It's nothing to feel bad about just because society might say it's 'different.'\n\nYes, it can be a very beautiful thing between 2 people who love one another, but only if you're ready for it. The worst thing would be to do something you're not ready for just because someone else says you should.\n\nBe true to your own needs, and you won't have to worry about it. I think the fact that I waited instead of giving in to peer pressure, enabled me to enjoy it, where if I hadn't waited, it might've turned out to be something traumatizing that I wouldn't have wanted to do again.\n\nAs far as a therapist, I wouldn't suggest it now unless it's something you can't stop thinking about. After you're not a virgin anymore, see what happens. If you've been doing it for a while and if you still feel really bad, then I'd think about talking with a therapist.\n\nSo my advice is not to worry about it. You've got plenty of time, and when you're ready for it, it'll happen the right way.\n\n________

No. I'm not a virgin. I lost my virginity at 15. It was not a good experience. I was with someone I loved, someone I'm still with to this day (over a year later). But I wasn't ready. In truth, I didn't really know what was happening until it was too late. Don't get me wrong, I knew what sex was. I just didn't know we were going to have it. Lol. I felt pressured. He was 18 and extremely experienced. And when I say extremely, I mean he'd been with 33 girls before me. I also didn't like the WAY it happened. There were no candles, no soft music. Just a movie playing. And it was rushed and tense because my grandparents were in the other room. So if you're thinking about having sex for the first time, loving the person's not the only thing you have to worry about. Make sure you're completely comfortable with the idea. Make sure you're alone and you use protection. (Which I didn't.) Plan ahead of time. And make it special. Remember, you only get one first time.

Bravo! You have done something that is very very difficult to do at a time when peer pressure, media and other factors would have made you loose your virginity earlier. \n\nTo my knowledge, there aren't any medical side-effects of maintaining your virginity. In fact, think of all the diseases you remain unexposed to? Read a book once (I forget which one in particular) that had a statement to the effect that being on the net (even with all the software to protect yourself from viruses and things like that) is like having protected sex. No matter how careful you are, eventually you catch something - that made me laugh. \n\nSecondly, you have to realise that people's standards (moral) are different. While in the modern society, it has been accepted that the younger unmarried society are indeed sexually active, parents will still try to instill to their children the importance of remaining pure before marriage (at least my parents tried - and failed miserably).\n\nMy third point, once it happens, it's a bit difficult to go back. Not only because of the hymen breaking - I also understand that can be fixed by surgery. But something in you will be awakened, and you WILL desire it. (hoping that the first experience will be good). \n\nDon't loose your virginity because you think you have to. I lost mine because I thought it was a burden at the time. You have the maturity at least to judge when would be the right time, you're not a teenager and hopefully not easily fooled. I admire you, really, there is nothing wrong with you.

I could not keep track. I however could keep track of how many partners.I had one sexual partner and that would be my wife.I was a virgin until the age of 28.I waited upon being married to the person I love first.

i was 15 yrs old and i lost it willingly then but like someone else it was taken from me at 13 but still i have recoverd from most of the aspects of it just that i have a problem with giving head still to this day because they made me swallow and now i will give my man oral but it is under my terms and only then, and there is absolutely nothign wrong with still being a virgin in fact if my life hadnt went the way it did i wished i wouldve waited, because to many people in this day in age think that sex all a bunch of fun and games and it wasnt meant to be that way, it was meant for procreation not recreational purposes, be responsible when u are going to have sex because there are just to many disease out there these days because people dont look at sex the way that they should.

i am 21 also and i am a virgin.  I just broke up with my boyfriend who thought he could change my mind about sex, when i made it clear to him that i wasnt looking for a sexual relationship.  i am a strong independant woman, that is my personality

I was a few months into 16.\n\nand know that i think about it,\nloosing it so early made me grow up quicker than i was ready for.\n\nReally, make sure you are 100% ready.\nloosing your virginity is something so special,\nand should not be taken for granted

No your not dumb. It takes a woman to stand up to her friends and say YES I'M A VIRGIN and DAMN PROUD OF IT TOO.. It also takes a MAN TO RESPECT YOUR DECISION. I applaud the 2 of you for your decision. Just ignore what your friends are saying to you because they don't need to know if you had sex or not. If you promised your dad and yourself why break that promise now. I was 24 when I lost my virginity, not because I made any promises or had a religious beliefs and just never found that right guy. And besides most of the time many would say that they wish they would have never lost there virginity and still would keep it that way. Good Luck!

Fear not, there are others like you, not me though I lost mine at 15. But if you are looking for love, then what does sex have to do with it until you have found the right person. Many people regret losing their virginity to the people they lost it to. Some wish they had waited, it would have made the moment special and more intimate. \nThe main problem is that most people today treat sex like entertainment instead of the complex emotional event that it once was. Sad but true, Best of luck. And keep looking for love, it is looking for you too.
