At what age did you lose your virginity?

[English Kate]

I liked the Shirriff's recount, it sounds like you were with the right person and in the right place at the right time. Things can only get better from that.

I know my spelling can be 'iffy' But who's the Shirriff? LOL!

And more seriously, it was 'interesting' but not the best thing in the world!

Believe me, it beat my version lol.

Oooo, do tell???

You'll wish you had never asked lol.

I had been dating my bf for around 9 months, although he had joined the Army so we didn't see that much of each other, even though he wrote often. On one of his visits we were up in my bedroom and he was getting a bit frisky (as usual) and he wanted to go all the way, but I wasn't sure. If I'm honest I didn't think I was ready, so I popped downstairs where my Mum was with her friend having a chat. I asked her how old she was when she lost her virginity. My Mum's not too bright and said she was 17. I was a month off my 18th, so ran back upstairs and did the deed as my plan of my Mum disapproving and telling me I was too young had backfired.

It was crap, he had no idea and there was no foreplay other than a bit of kissing and it lasted no time at all. The only plus was that we did use a condom.

Just to make it even more depressing when I went to the local pub the next day he was there with a girl I couldn't stand and laughing. He dumped me telling me it had been a bet with his brother to see if he could get my virginity, as I had a rep for being a prude.

Sigh!

A month later he started dating my best friend.
