Poll: Losing your virginity - Overhyped?

[TyrantGanado]

To be honest from my perspective, losing your virginity is overrated. The first time kinda sucks. Scratch that, it's pretty fucking terrible. As others have said, you begin to get the hang of it after a while then sex becomes pretty enjoyable. I see it as a pleasure, sure, "making love" is better because there's more feeling, but plain old sex is still pretty good.
The only problem with me is that sex has become a hedonistic pleasure for me, so I've gotten quite bored with my previous two relationships because there was no excitement in the bedroom. Trying to not let it become a permanent issue though, since that would condemn me to a life of one night stands with women picked up in kinky places. And I suck at wooing women past the "get-talking-to-them" stage.

My Autobiography, out now folks! xD

Nah i still think its somethin special like. And yea for anyone who aint done it i would really reccomend doin it with someone when your in a lovin relationship, or at the very least someone you care about deeply. really makes all the difference. think that if you just lose it to some randomer it would just take away from the whole thing.

It's easy to say it's just about "losing the 'v'" but it's about the first time with someone you love.

Overhyped? Not really, unless you do it (wait for it).. willy nilly

 

[AceAngel]

I remember mine:

Inside Voice: "Yes, yes, YES! This is what...everyone...talking about?"
Inside Voice: "This is it? Grinding of meat and body fluids? Why...why...what..."

Second Voice: "Well, no kidding mate, not what your expected, aye?"

Inside Voice: "Holy crap, where did you come from?!"

 

[RobCoxxy]

I wouldn't know!

 

[Sennz0r]

Nah, nothing gloriously momentous about the first time, physically speaking. If you're more in touch with the person you're with it might be emotionally wonderful. But that's not always a guarantee now is it.

So, on the physical aspect: It gets far better after the first time.

 

[ShadowKatt]

I've never had sex, and I don't expect to in my life. I don't keep friends, much less relations, so it's never going to happen. I'm actually thinking of taking a vow of chastity so I'll have something to brag about that no one else can.

 

[Jack_Uzi]

The first time my thoughts went to all kinds of different places than the sex itself. That kind of sucked for me.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

I wish I knew. But I'm 16 right now, and not even close to losing it. I do hope that it won't take too long. I'm very curious on what the fuzz is all about. But it's not something I prioritize. Finding someone you love is more important.

 

[DarkHourPrince]

Yeah, it is. I've been dating my girlfriend for two years and just moved in with her (i'm a girl as well, btw) and we're both still fine with things the way they are for now. Media overhypes it so much it makes girls think it's some huge momentous thing and.. it's really not?

 

[Ishadus]

I feel it's all subjective to what kind of person you are. Therefore everyone is different on it, and factors like peer pressure, sexual desire, religion, and social standing can definitely influence when people lose it. Me? I lost it to someone I cared about, someone I still care about and therefore I have no regrets. I also lost it at a reasonable age, 18 years old.

This.

The question can't be answered generally because different people will have different views and expectations of what sex means to them. Just the differentiation between "sex" and "making love" is something that many would debate.

I lost my virginity at 20 to the first woman who ever loved me, and that relationship in general pulled me out of a very dark portion of my life, changing who I am. Making love to her that first time, and the hundreds of times after that, definitely meant something to me. And no, the first time was not overhyped.

However, that's because it wasn't just sex to me, but was one of the most emotional experiences of my life. If you're just looking for an experience where you put it in someone for the first time, I'd imagine it won't be anything special.

Now that I've said all that, I suppose I'll need to go drink some beer and watch football and other manly things to make up for it

 

[Wadders]

I dunno, for me it was pretty awesome!

Aside from that, it was also something I could cross off the list, so to speak, and not have to worry about. Overall, it probably is overhyped, it's not the life changing moment some seem to think it will be.

There was never much peer pressure for me though. I was probably one of the later ones out of my group of friends and and acquaintances, but I never felt pressurized or particularly panicked about wanting to loose my virginity.

It's just a nice thing to happen, and thats about it. I wouldn't say sex itself is over rated though. It's great

 

[Uncreation]

I lost it at 24, and i had to pay for it (as in i went to a prostitute). Because i didn't want to be a virgin forever, and there was no way i could have done it otherwise. It was meh. So... meh.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

People hold sex (and drugs and alcohol) up as pure excellence, and things to be worshiped and sought after. Nothing is worth the importance attached to them.

Yeah, manly things!

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

And I thought the swelling was normal *ba-dum tish*

OT: I wished I had my GameBoy. 'nuff said I suppose.

 

[Yureina]

Halfway to 23 and 3 days away from graduating college, and still nothing. Does that disturb me to some extent? A little bit, but I sort of console myself with the fact that I have not really even bothered to try to lose it, since I am still caught up in my own personal chaos and insanity. Volatile upheavals and a chronic need to look internally rather than at other people has been the major cause as to why I am not in this business. But, regarding the topic? Coming from my perspective, it is totally overrated. Some people have called me a prude in the past for my attitudes, but I don't really understand the interest in this sort of stuff that so many seem to possess.

Edit: The one thing I am worried about most of all is the classic stereotype about people who "don't get any". Namely that they take that part of their nature and transfer it to aggressive activities such as conflict. Considering my past behavior, I probably am going down that road already. Destruction is more interesting to me than creation.

*snicker*

It's not all that great. I mean it doesnt really change you physically. And isn't the irst time you do anything sort of special?

 

[jono793]

I lost my virginity about four years ago.


I want it back.

 

[Selef]

i know plenty of people who hated their first time, mainly because of the people they had their first time with. If your still a virgin save it for someone you care for.
