At what age did you lose your virginity?

With the sex and abstinence thread, I thought it might be insightful to do a little anonymous polling and see what the TTers experiences were.

Come on it is anonymous...and Friday

9 people have answer in 4 mins - thats a pretty quick response so far!!

I clicked "yes" to STD but I didn't get it from having sex. I let some girl stay at my apartment and was even nice enough to let her have the bed while I took the couch. A week later I had scabies. That sucked.

woof.

BD I wouldn't consider scabies an STD. It is simply a contagious skin bug. You could have gotten it just as easily by shaking her hand, which is how I got it. Now pubic lice I would put in the STD category.

Scabies was one of the most miserable experiences of my life. My family kept spreading it back and forth to eachother, as you can't see the little buggers. We all spread it to our significant others too.

O.K. who is the American who took the abstinence vow...fess up . As we have no admitted virgins here in TT, that either means you got married and the vow worked, or the vow failed miserably. Or lastly Parnell is just F++ing with us to make a point

Can't be Parnell, I knew him before he was a virgin.

Nope wasn't me , I'm in the 19-20/no/no bracket. I DO howeva wanna kno who de hoors in the 13-14 brakket are. way to go u loons.

Coincidence ...

or is it...?

No distinction was made between consentual or non-consentual, not that I'm implying such a thing but that might explain some results (in a sad way).
Jesus man, has the ironing killed your ability to spell?

I wouldn't personally consider non-consexual sexual assault the time one loses their viginity, though technically it would be.

Now regretting it, is a different matter. Once the deed is done it is done...unless for the ladies one pays a plastic surgeon to revirginate them

@ Katrina
Jebus sorry bout that , I do realise that I was sufficiently ugly to escape that particular pitfall...
As to spulink , everywan nose that ironing ability is inversely proportionall to both dirving and spelun abilityat.

Someone PM'd me and was all like 19 ???
Hey what can I say , I was at this party when I was 14 and this girl (I think) scared the shit out of me by wanting to go all the way , I guess it was kind of a shock or something , predictably enough the girl who I did end up surrendering my fruit too I never told - she ripped my heart out tho.

"revirginate" is another of those marvellous words, makes me think of "undeath" or something.
Should I see a doctor? I can spell and iron and drive. Hmmm.

I'm not an American but I took one. If anyone remembers Martin Hallett's 'True Freedom Trust" in the UK, I was a subscriber in the 1980s and abstained as a celibate gay man during that time. Although it was a particularly unpleasant period in my life it may inadvertently have saved my life at the time.

Remembering it now, I didn't lose my virginty, I misplaced it.

Now if we take out Bad Doggies case of scabies, it looks like TT is hovering around a 10% STD rate, so this incestious dating pool is looking pretty safe.

If it was over in like 3 seconds does it count

@ BTC
uh props dood , we mite clash now and again but i think that's a really selfless thing to do gay or otherwise.

Some folk might want to change their vote due to persistent revirginalization then.

It's a long story, the ending was inevitable, but the plot and the character development could have done with some work. The movie rights never materialised.

However by the time I got around to making the sequel things had changed for the better. God forbid that they could have worsened.

My virginity aint lost, I know who took it so does it still count as lost

@Arshoo

Depends what they are using it for at the moment.

so can i vote as technically I lost it but know where to find it. In fact tried to retrieve it several times too but someone told me it cant be done

HA Thank God we get to move on and try again.

Actually I think virginity is highly overrated and know few people who thought it was this great experience.

This is sad but I will mention it. I was at this art opening and somehow got talking to this guy from NY and his girlfriend. This subject turned to number of partners one had had. Then out of the blue the girl asked quite seriously if bestiality counted, I had to refrain from spitting up my beer because I wanted to laugh.

@ perdido
uh isnt bestiality sex with animals ? why is that sad unless she's an animal rapist or something ? think it's freaking hilarious myself.

My closest encounter with bestiality was having a black labrador sink his teeth into my groin during my teenage years.

Very pavlovian in a way. I was picking up my sister at friends house.
I rang the doorbell, the door opened, the dog shot out and bit the first thing that it encountered, namely me, or at least my groin. I was so shocked I kicked out which did persuade the canine that I just wasn't that much into him.

That was the one and only time that I was glad that my mother had purchased untrendy but bulletproof department store jeans.

I know them! they're the ones with built in ink pads that stain legs blue! the luminous orange stitching comes in useful when out at night. I beleive that's how they made the ReadyBrek adverts in the days before CGI.

@Moonboot

They were so loaded with chemicals that if you went out n the rain with them foam would appear at your knees ?

yerano! radioactive blue foam!
could you bend your legs in yours?

Yeti - based on those jean descriptions and its inherent uncoolness, I am assuming you are the one in the who fell into the "over 25" category.

Not only did they have th built in ink pads, but they had the built in knee pads on the inside of the jeans. So when you are walking it looks like you some deformed knee caps that are as wide as your thighs.

and they never faded, ever, ever. I'm sure Nasa was involved in the development phase.

@Gemini
Close but no cigar. I lost the jeans long before that other thing, what's it called again ?

Well on the virginity note, I went into the event armed and utilizing 3 different forms of contraception - contraceptive foam, contraceptive suppository and condoms...that was an awful lot of effort for the 3 seconds I got

Which actually got me thinking, how did I learn so much about contraception and safe sex, as I fall into the 15/16 category. My parents taught me nothing...oh well this was my mothers sex lecture "all boys want to do is put their penis inside you". Yes we were Catholic. My Dad of course said nothing. I think the only thing I learned about in sex ed class was condoms. So the rest I learned from working at a drug store and checking out the contraception stuff.

We too were prepared, saw to many of our friends with pregnancy scares, so he came with me to my doc to get the Pill, and then we waited the month, til we knew it was effective. For both of us it was very special, and although we broke up about a year later, we remained very good friends til the day he died of Leukemia.
ps- wasn't over in 3 seconds either.

Really? In that case make it two STDs for me. Mind you that was back in the Dark Ages when personal hygiene was a foreign concept. And having lice was a great excuse for scratching me balls.

I've always wanted to write a song about loosing my virginity in Derby, Connecticut aged 15... but I really have forgotten her name (still remember what she looked like thoughohohohoho-oo!). The American girls (at that time) were just a touch more progressive than the English girls back home.

I also caught chlamydia from my ex-wife, which is a disease and was sexually transmitted, so I guess it counts. Went to the quack and the bastard sent us both to the clap clinic. Have you any idea of the torture those evil swine put you through? They hold on to yer man and poke this needle thing down the eye, then they depress a little button on the top, spikes flay out inside, and then they RIP the thing out. I cried for hours. 5 days later a letter arrived to tell us that we didn't have the clap. I was fuckin' furious.

Yes Sin I do know what it is like for the guys, as I am one of the docs who come in and have to get the sample.

They REALLY hate it when it is me. Makes the embarassment far worse.

Now our cultures don't have any spikes on it...must be an English thing.

I can see I have led a very sheltered life although a girl once gave me a very bad cold...

I didnt have an STD but took this test to see if I did. I didnt cry I just passed out. I remember saying " I dont feel so good " then woke up in the doctors arms ( doc was a she) with my head between her buxoms. Nice recovery in my book.

uh this reminds me of that Chris Rock sketch about the "tossin' salad man" ... sooooo happy not to have to go thru dis shtuff

who'S the "proud" virgin tho ?

I've only ever been to the clap clinic once & that was years ago to escort my gf. She came out and burst into tears cos the clamps were soooo cold & the whole thing was just so upsetting for her. Driving her back to her fathers house I sypathetically told her to grow up & explained that my sister goes there all the time so deal with it. She's now the mother of my oldest child
Oh yeah, & coming from an Island where everybody knows each other, it was a funny to see who was there.

Jeeves you are jacking up the TT STD rate. May have to remove you from the TT single persons dating pool circle of trust.

I used to see good looking guys in the waiting room at the office, and think, turn the flirt on, but then, I would read their med history, and see previous STD's, and I just didn't want to go there. Mind you then I was in my early 20's and had high morals.

Would this be a good time to admit to having had a summer job at an STD clinic? As a receptionist (Orsett Hospital - biggest clinic of that type for South Essex and East London)?
That there is a stigma which leads to people not getting tested staggers me. Particularly in Germany where STD checks are available at any dermatology office (STDs are classed as skin conditions in Germany). If people are in any doubt, get checked.

only if you were getting treated there or had some juicy story

You sister?

What made you think you had something in the first place?

@the rest

What is a clap? Please excuse my ignorance.

Nice edit there...

I was a whore then.
