This week will mark one year since my SO and I first had sex. Being that it was both our first time it was very special for both of us. Question here is…Has anyone ever “celebrated” it? Not like a huge party or anything like that but something small like flowers or something. Maybe I’m just corny but it seems like something two people in a loving relationship might do. What do you think?? Any thoughts on the subject, ideas, or stories please! Thanks in advance!
Unless you had sex on the first date and thus would also be celebrating the one year anniversary of the day you met, this seems an odd thing to celebrate. But then, I’m planning a party to commemorate Cyndi Lauper’s 50th birthday and the anniversary of the death of Judy Garland (same day, different years) so who am I to judge what people celebrate?
Unfortunetly most of us celebrating the day we first got ‘together’ i.e our first date, and it is also the first time we had sex!!!
But I think it’s great that you are celebrating you first time in the sack! Making love is a beautiful thing, and I commend you for remembering it.
Perhaps you could reinact it, right down to wearing the same clothes, playing the same music, eating the same dinner. That would be cool.
I wish I could remember the exact date me and my love first did it.
I think I would find it unbelieveably crass to celebrate the first sexual encounter of a relationship.
I mean, feel free, but however ‘special’ it might have been there has to be SOMEthing more important for you to commemorate.
, you are so gay.
Well, I completely fucked THAT up! Let’s try it once more, with feeling!
Otto, you are so gay!
I don’t think it is crass at all. It sounds like an important moment for you. That said, I don’t know that this is an anniversary I would publicize, either. A card that says how much you love your SO and a small gift would be nice, IMHO,
Crass? I don’t agree. It was the first time for both of them and they still love each other. I think it’s sweet. Give her some flowers and write a nice love letter.
Haj
I’ll have you know that just because I’m planning the party that doesn’t mean it was my idea. My straight girl best friend came up with the plan, so chew on that one for a while.
Back to the OP – I think it’s sweet. In the profound hope that Hallmark doesn’t have a card for the occasion, I’d say flowers and a love note would be perfect.
AWW SWEET!
Make her dinner (a good take out if you can’t cook), candles, nice wine (or grape juice, depending on circumstances) their favourite dessert, romantic music and a single red rose.
Whatever happens after dinner is up to you, but massages are always a good way to start.
All this, of course, is appropriate at anytime, but you have an excuse.
Pull out all the stops and let them know how special they are to you.
I don’t see how this is crass either. Maybe you guys could recreate that magical night?

Hello Superstar. First time I’ve run into you, so I thought I’d welcome you to the board 
I guess I’m not the only Central Coaster here anymore!
Feel free to visit G’Dope, where some of the Aussie and Kiwi Straight Dopers also hang out for a more local flavour.
See you around

As for the OP, my husband and I don’t celebrate the anniversary of losing our virginity to each other, even though it was special to us.
If you want to celebrate it, I’d do something that was very personal and meaningful for the two of you, since you are celebrating something personal and meaningful. IOW, if something doesn’t ‘naturally’ leap up at you as the perfect way to commemorate the occasion, it may be best to do nothing, rather than just give a bunch of flowers. Perhaps you could both start a tradition of trying something ‘new’ on that particular anniversary ? A different position or act, for example ? This doesn’t mean you can’t try new things other times, but it does keep the celebration relevant and meaningful.
Just a thought
