    I was just wondering if anyone would like to share how old they were when they lost their virginity.

    To make it less shy, I'll begin ... I was 14.

    How old were you?

        Does rape qualify as losing your virginity ... ? I thought that was supposed to be with someone you care about..

          It still technically counts unfortunately. Other than that I guess I lost it when I was almost 18 to the guy I'm still with 7 years on.

              It doesnt have to count if you dont want it to. My 1st time I was 20 I didnt count it cause I didnt mean to lose it at that time so I just put it in my head that wasnt true and i still believed i was a virgin but now I admit I lost it at that time cause now I love that guy I didnt mean to lose it with.

              That's the thing - losing your virginity must be your choice. Noone has the right to use force, on any occasion.
              I hope that idiot got what he deserved.

                It should be your choice. Many times it isnt, and if it isnt, it can casue life long issues with sex, how you view it, how you feel about it, it can damage your self esteem and how you view your body, it can make it so you dont enjoy it....all kinds of stuff.
                I cant abide the thought of men/boys/males thinking they can just take that from someone. I really wish there was mroe punshiment for this crime, especially "date rape" or "spousal rape". (I realize it does happen to men by women as well, I just dont personally knwo any who have had that ahppen, so cant speak for what it does to them. I am sure it is just as awful.)
                sorry guys..off topic agian...oops

      I was 15, approaching 16.  We had a sexual relationship for quite a while after this too. I must add though, that even though the boy/man was a older than me he never once pushed for us to do it before that night.  The next was my husband of 10years now.

As you can tell , I'm female . Most guys out there will hit it and run . I stuck to my vows with this man until his last day on earth . I've proven myself as a faithfull woman .

      Well truth be told it s better to wait for mr/ms right, but in today's world it's far from realistic. And 14 is a bit young to be exploring that side of life. But my first time was at 20 and it was not all that joyous for me. BrandenA, i am more than impressed with you and proud of you,that is a very smart thing to hold out at such a young age, you hav somuch ahead of you and thinking out sex should'ntbe one of them. Get your life on track and know who you are and where your going before deciding on such things.

    I became an adult in the 70's the best decade ever, drugs sex and rock and roll. Oddly enough I waited until I was 20 and then was so disgusted by the whole thing I broke up with my boyfriend of 8 months. My girlfriends had all lost their virginity and were hounding me about it and so I finally gave in. It was a big mistake on my part.

    I was a 13 yr old boyscout.
    I had a picture of a naked girl in my pocket.
    That nite, in my sleeping bag, I had sex with my right hand and had my first, unforgettable ORGASM!
    I had been introduced to Heaven!
    From that nite forward, My right hand became obsessed with sex and before long "it" became a sex addict.
    The years passed and I found that there is no cure for my right hand. It will have to spend the rest of it's life "walking-the-dog!"
    Thank "god" I haven't grown that telltale hair in the palm of that hand.
    I am not "blind" so the boyscout manual was wrong!
    My G/f understands this powerful addiction. I love her so much. At times, she takes the situation in hand. She handles my problem like a real pro.
    Bless her!

    So, what you're asking, is if I want to tell a bunch of strangers how old I was when I lost my virginity?  You are kidding, right?  Why would anyone want to know?  Its a slow news day, must be.  Nor do I really want to hear about their ages! I thought I was rhe frivolous one, but now I'm realizing how deep I actually am!

    I was 14 and it happened during a game of strip poker with two older girls. They took turns. I am grateful for their experience because I sure as hell didn't have a clue.  big_smile

      Yeah and you were so much better than her since it takes two to have sex smile.  This and the chicken comment early in the thread, well at least people are not attacking anyone, but this thread is just weird.

    I was 18 - with a guy I barely knew.  Just wanted to get it over with, didn't think it was such a big deal.  Now I think I was wrong to feel that way.

    I was 15 with a girl I barely knew... I was really freaked out because I knew she had done it before and I didnt want her to think I didnt know what I was doing..

    It's safe to say it didn't last too long and she definitely knew I had no idea what I was doing.. lol

    it was fun but I would have liked to have done it with someone I actually cared about..

    I was 19. We had to be really quiet. We were at her dad's house for spring break and his room was right below hers. He was a district court judge and I was scared of him.

    I was 16, the night I lost my virginity was after the first basketball game at my school, after I had my liscense, and it was in my first car. The next night I had my second and much better experience with another gal in the back seat of my buddies car while he and his girlfriend did it in the front seat.
    The second time was... the second gal...I should have hung on to. I was her first.
