I'm going to go ahead and go there...

I wouldn't have thought to post this here initially, but then there was the whole sex toy post, and now I'm thinking "what the heck?!?"

I realized mid day today that 10 years ago, on this date, I lost my virginity. I posted about my anniversary here, but the best part about the story is that the guy is still a very big part of my life.

I realize this sets me apart from a lot of women who lost their V-Cards in high school, so now I'm curious.... Is that person still in your life?

You don't have to share the details (unless you want to - details are always fun!) I'm just curious about that first experience and whether or not you regret it.

And for those of you who don't believe in sex before marriage, please don't take offense. One of my best friends is actually a 27 year old virgin, and I am forever impressed by her - just wasn't ever really for me!

I would still love to hear your story though. Is your first the man who you go to bed with every night today? Because if so, I think that's pretty incredible...

NO, my 1st was in H.S. I was a sophomore he was a senior...do I regret it...no I don't but there were a few (or more) between then and now that I would take back or at least DENY!

My first is the man I get into bed with every night.  I am so incredibly blessed by him, and our relationship!  It wasn't really a religious reason why he was my first (and only!), but more of a timing thing.  It just worked ;o).

It was my HS boyfriend and I was a good way into 16. We dated for 4 years and were even "engaged". Ahhhh, young love. My only only partner has been my husband and if I would have known then what I know now, there might have been a few more. Oh, well, maybe in my next life....

Just the hubs. I wanted to wait, and frankly the high school and college boys could not handle me anyway.

The only person I've ever had sex with is my husband. I used to hold myself in pretty high esteem over that, as I was pretty proud that I'd saved my virginity for him.

And while, of course, I'm thrilled that I did and have no regrets about never sleeping with any of my former boyfriends, it's no longer such a big deal for me. I've made plenty of mistakes in my life and have let myself and others down by my decisions. Having premarital sex just wasn't one of those times.

I do feel very strongly about not having sex before you're married, for a litany of reasons, but thank the good Lord that He loves and forgives us no matter what kinds of mistakes we make. And He doesn't love us any more or any less based on our behavior. Amazing.

I do of course realize that not everyone thinks that premarital sex is a "mistake." I'm interested to see where this discussion heads and if other people feel regret or not about their first sexual experiences.

Funny story...

My first time was with my husband-but not on our wedding night. It was actually 2 weeks after we were married!  We were SUCH virgins that we really didn't know what we were supposed to do with each other! We knew how it was supposed to work out, but getting there was a different story! Looking back now it's funny and we can laugh over it, but back then it was pretty frustrating...not to mention embarrassing! Never though I'd be sharing this with anyone! :)

We did perfect our kissing during that 2 weeks though. We decided to save our first kiss for our wedding, so that was a lot of  fun.

 Oh yes, and I think that we have gotten very good in the love making department!

Kendra~ You just cracked me up! I'm pretty sure most guys I meet to this day still can't handle me! Maybe that's the man I should be waiting for: The one who isn't completely taken aback by the absurd things that come out of my mouth on any given day!

Andrea~ I'm with you; there have definitely been a few since the first I wouldn't mind erasing. That said, even the worst of the bunch taught me something. No regrets here, but I have noticed that as I've gotten older I have gotten more and more picky with who I allow into my bed. The standards have definitely changed, and as a result I wouldn't be surprised if the next man I slept with actually wound up being the one.

MckMama! Yay for your insight! I think saving yourself until marriage is something to be proud of. It's just not really something I was ever really taught or exposed to, and even if I had been I can pretty honestly say that I'm not sure it would have made much of a difference. I have always been a pretty curious person, and I don't like feeling like other people know something I don't know! What is it they say about curiosity killing the cat? :) Seriously though, I know I am lucky in that most of my experiences have ended fairly well and I've grown from most of them. I don't regret my past at all, but I am impressed by yours (and all you ladies who waited!)

I'm just pretty sure that had I waited I probably would have married someone by now solely to see what it was all about! That's just my personality; I don't like feeling left in the dark, and with 27 fastly approaching and no man in my life, I can't imagine if I had never taken that plunge by now!

Lauren~ I love that story! My first time was very awkward too... I'm pretty sure it is supposed to be. At least you were with someone you loved and you were learning together!

I actually got a comment on my blog from a girl in Pakistan and she said that pre-marital sex is practically non-existent over there. It had me thinking how different life would be if that was the norm here. I honestly didn't know any virgins until a few years ago when a new (and now very close) friend of mine confessed she had never had sex. I was shocked! I was almost positive that everyone I knew had to be having sex by that point. It was a choice, and lifestyle, I literally couldn't even imagine.

There were A LOT of questions that followed!

I've had sex with two people...the father of my oldest child and my husband.
 
I can't say that I regret having sex before marriage, because I feel like that is saying that I regret having my son...and he is soooooo amazing and such a blessing!
 
But, what I do regret, is not having him (my son) with my husband.  Now, I know that this doesn't make sense.  He wouldn't be who he is if he had been born to my husband and I...but, "idealistically" speaking, if I could have my druthers, I'd keep him just the way he is, but make him my hubby's!
 
It stinks...knowing for the rest of my life that I'll have to share him...and, just for the record, my son's dad and I have a good relationship (and, for anyone that remembers...it sounds as if his marriage is okay right now...).
 
I just don't like to share my boy.
 
I remember talking with another woman in a similar situation as mine, and we were discussing that all other reasons aside...one big reason to wait to have sex until you are married, is because if you don't, you may be stuck with having that person in your life forever.
 
And ever. Amen.
 
Can't ever get competely away from someone if you share a child together!
 
Wow...I really rambled.
 
Done now!  Sorry...
