A female reader, QuartzKitty United States +, writes (27 November 2010):

I was 13 at the time. The guy was a 25 year old I was majorly in lust with. I came on to him over several weeks, giving him oral sex a number of times, and we eventually had sex on his couch and bed. I wanted the guy, and was determined that he would be my first. NO regrets about it at all.

I did tell my mother about it, but not until years later. She was upset at first, but once I made it clear that I wasn't taken advantage of, that I wanted to have sex and was ready, she accepted it. Didn't LIKE it, but dealt with it.

I was 15 when I lost my virginity to my brothers best friend who is eight years older than I am. He is also my neighbor and my family just loves him to pieces so there was/is never any question or concern or even thought about it. We still continue to have a sexual relations from time to time. I was recently in a relationship where my mom suggested birth control and I flat out told her no. That relationship didn't last long and I'm currently in a new one and it's going great. It hasn't been a month yet so my parent's aren't really talking yet. I still don't know if I should tell them or not. I've been thinking about it lately. I think I will just talk to my mom about birth control anyways. I hate the thought of it but I know it's the best thing...considering i've had mulitiple pregnancy scares.

A male reader, stephenf United States +, writes (7 April 2009):

It all depends on what you think sex is, and what it's for, doesn't it? If it's basically just another fun physical activity in which you can engage with this person or that one, as long as everybody's consenting and nobody gets hurt, well then, why not get after it as early as you think you're "ready" for it? I mean, in that construction, "virgin" is a term of derision--and you probably know exactly what I mean.

On the other hand, if you think it ought to be something as special and exclusive as possible--with the best scenario being that it's for only that one person you'll spend the rest of your life with--then I guess there's a different answer to what this whole "virginity" thing is.

Mushgirl agony auntI lost mine at 17 in the back of my (at the time) boyfriend's van. We are still great friends and mean to get back together when the timing's better, and I don't regret it at all. I don't see virginity as a huge issue - if you lose it to someone you love, that's great, but if I hadn't, I don't think I'd be hugely gutted. Just vaguely pissed off.

13 years old to my 2nd cousin. We had sex about 10 more times after that but we do not have sex anymore.

At times I regret having sex with her and other times, I enjoy thinking about how close we were that we could experiment with each other (kinda like playing doctors for teens).

Fiona xxx agony auntI was 18, which I think is a good age.

I had been with this guy for 2 months, so to wait is important, to be sure he is not just after sex only. Needs to be a nice relationship. We went out for 6 months.

No way, I couldn't tell my parents LOL. Although she knew! She suspected on the first date and I said "God NO, Mum, it's far to soon for anything like that!!" LOL

Parents just know, they know you have the opportunities, but no, I didn't feel able so say "Mum, I ...... last night"

I was 14 yars old, about to be 15. I tried to make it like a movie scene and he noticed. He didnt pressure me. He said if it was supposed to happen it would happen on its own. and it did. No regrets. I loved him and he loved me. Funny thing is we're just friends...My mom doesn't know and even though she says when I'm ready to have sex tell her, I'm too scared. I have to find the right time.

My wife and I were both 23 when we exchanged virginity (I gave her mine and received hers in return) on our wedding night. It was some of the worst sex I ever had - and extraordinarily meaningful, and special, to both of us.

I don't know if our parents suspected us of having sex before then or not. They certainly knew we had the opportunities to do so. I guess she was the right person - we're still together after 33 years.

Make him perform oral first. This is not like old times, be sexually liberal and enjoy!

vodka-tearz agony auntI was 14, my parents aren't aware. What's the point in worrying about this babe? Go for it, be spontaneous, I don't see why people regret it. I definately didn't. Be aware that if he's not a virgin, it might not be such a good idea. Also if you know he's slept around, it might not be the right person to have sex with. You may find yourself heartbroken, no matter how much he convinces you that you won't.

A male reader, NewMod United States +, writes (29 November 2007):

I lost my virginity at the ripe old age of 21. I was straight-edge through high school and college, meaning I didn't drink, I didn't smoke, I didn't do drugs and I didn't have sex. I didn't really miss not doing any of those things at the time, but I regret being so uptight as a young-person now. Still, it's surprising to hear that people were drinking and having sex at 14 and 15 (that's not judgement, that's me being sheltered)!

Despite my old age, my first-time wasn't the right person. Go figure.

My overly suspicious parents probably assumed I was having sex from the time I was 15 or 16 onwards. Regardless, I didn't tell them, nor do I discuss any sexual or relationship issues with them.

I don't really regret it though, I really didn't think, and still don' that virginity is some special gift or any of that, sex wasn't the life changing expreience I thought it would be.

It was a nightmare!, we split the condom and I was convinced I was pregnant, lukily for me I wasn't. LUCKY ESCAPE!!. thats what happens when your not ready.

Just make sure that if your considering doing it young, that you listen to all the advice offered on here!!.

A female reader, TasteofIndia United States +, writes (29 November 2007):

TasteofIndia agony auntI was 19 when I lost mine. I had waited for a long time because I finally figured out that none of the dipwads in high school were worth my virginity. then it became kind of my "thing". I was the elusive virgin. Being a virgin made me more popular than any of the trampy girls in my school...

Anyhow, I moved across the country and met a great guy. It felt right... he didn't push me, he was great, he made me comfortable and I never pushed myself into anything. Things sort of just happened naturally. I'm still with him, two and a half years later and I don't regret my decision for a second. I'm so glad I didn't sleep with those idiots from high school. They weren't worthy.

My Mom, well, she probably assumed I was having sex when I wasn't. But she officially found out when I made her come to the doctor with me (I had a bad fever) and then the doctor asked "are you on any kind of medication... birth control?".

I was busted. So then my Mom knew, but she was just happy that I was being safe about it (and when I told her I had only been with one fella, she was extra pleased).

There you go, that's my story. Hope you have a happy one too, sweetness.

girlwhoneedshelp agony auntI was 17 when I lost my virginity. I'm 18 now and I'm still with the boy I lost mine too. Luckily enough for me he was a virgin too which made the experience much better for the both of us as we learned together. I didn't tell my mum that I was going to lose my virginity, she sort of sensed it and made a point of taking my dad out for the night so that I had the place to myself. I was on the pill anyway for heavy periods so I was safe enough and responsible enough to go ahead with it. To be honest when people say "you just know when it's right" it's exactly like that. I had known of my boyfriend for a year before I even started speaking to him and we dated for 2 months then started going out properly. Four weeks into our relationship we took the next step and I don't regret it at all. I'm still with him a year and a half later and I love him more than I did then so there's a big possibility he is the right person for me :)
