Poll: Losing your virginity - Overhyped?

[Prometherion]

Everyone knows that losing your 'v' is one of the most important moment of your lives. Nowhere is this more widespread than your high school years. I remember being told that your first time was a momentous occassion. Yet there was no parade or chorus of angels shouting "you're a manly man now!" after I lost mine. Dont get me wrong I had a great time, yet a part of me thought, "this was sex? Why was I so nervous about it? Where's my bloody chorus of angels?"

My question is simply, is losing your virginity overhyped?

Also, do the effects of peer pressure make you more likely to regret losing it prematurely?

I was hoping for something wonderful. Instead I had an allergic reaction to the condom. Damn you nonoxyl-9!

First time is shit, afterwards it gets much, much better

Plus you can imagine the person naked in the future...

 

[traineesword]

depends on how you lose it really. If you lose it to a girl who, at the time, you really really love (even if the relationship doesn't last) then i would say that no, its not over-hyped. you'll probably have a really good time.
But just having sex with a girl who you think is kinda hot, because "everyone else is having sex"... its just not as good... or at least i can't see it being as good. i speak as if i've actually experienced this, but as of yet i still retain my 'v'.

I wish I had the experience needed to post here...

 

[Anti-gravity]

ehh i don't see what the big deal of it is i mean, when you do other things for the first time do people really care?

I wouldn't know since I am still a virgin... but I will say I sometimes feel that I since I am at university that it should happen soon. Also I am sometimes scared I will have stage fright since it seems that the guy is pretty much in charge of making sure it is pleasurable for both parties. I may be wrong since I don't know much about it.

Well, from a girl's perspective we're always told that our first time isn't going to be fun at all, breaking the hymen and all that... There's blood and it hurts but they tell you it's supposed to get better after that.

So no angels. No nothing really, just a lot of ouch.

 

[Tipsy Giant]

It's no big deal, go out and have some sex and be protected, then all the sex you can get, it's as natural as eating and sleeping

 

[JanatUrlich]

I expected it to be average and my expectations were reached!

I lost my virginity to a boy in someone's bathroom and I lost my virginity to a girl behind a shed. It's not really that much of a big deal to me.

My body is no fucking temple haha.

 

[leviticusd]

Hah, it's memorable, but that's about it. My pride swelled when she told me "It's bigger than I thought.", but I was quickly deflated (about 30 seconds later) when she asked...

"That's it?"

Damn....

It's gotten much better of the years.

 

[Sonicron]

It most certainly is, and I didn't exactly have a great time, too... at least not initially. In fact, I was so nervous about living up to certain self-set (and likely unrealistic) expectations that I couldn't even get it up properly... heh. Luckily my girl understood what was going on and managed to get me to relax, which certainly made for a better experience. But still, yeah, I think it's very much overrated - the really good times start after the first few fumbling romps.

Did it actually hurt for you though? Like, you'd never used tampons and stuff before? Or wanked or anything?

It didn't hurt me in the slightest. I was just wondering if it actually does hurt like people say because no girl I've talked to has admitted it.

Well my best friend did but she's the biggest wimp in the world haha

if you're a dude, and the girl you're with knows you're a virgin she -should- be understanding.

Dont expect to last long, or to enjoy it much beyond, "HOLY CRAP! I'm having s- oh :\ "

it's the second or third go where you'll start to get the hang of it.

Pro tip first time almost, always, always sucks dont buy the "special moment" BS if neither of you have done it before it's going to be akward, uncomfortable and hillarious if anyone has a camera installed in your room *whistles*

If your willing to take the risk and find a solid fire breathing whore however, totaly different story. Also fun fact did you know only 40% of women ever acheive an orgasm? And the average size is 5 inches.

CONFIDENCE BOOST AWAY

 

[riotwraith]

Extremely. Don't get me wrong, sex is great and all that, but your first time isn't this magical, life-changing experience. It's awkward, smelly, and probably over much faster than you were expecting. Though in my case it actually went on for quite some time before we got bored and decided to watch TV. I'm honestly not sure if that's even a little bit better.

And to anyone of the opinion that it's so much better when it's with someone you truly love, that didn't make it any better for me. If it was just some random girl it probably wouldn't have been quite so bad that it didn't live up to my expectations.

 

[EeveeElectro]

I wasn't peer pressured, it was mainly my low self esteem, convinced I'd be a virgin for life otherwise. I was the first of my friends to lose it, so it wasn't really over hyped.
I regret losing it you but shit happens and you can't change it.
