29, on another continent than my home continent. She was 22 and fairly experienced. Enjoyable, but not at all like I expected; not to say that I had particularly fixed expectations about it, but still it was different. ---

I guess I’ll chime in for the left-ish side of the bell curve. Lost it at 13 with another 13-year-old. “Angel” by Aerosmith was playing on her boom box. It was magical, in a completely mortifying, white trash sorta way. Male, 31. ---

If hiring a prostitute is considered losing the virginity, then my answer is 18. ---

40 and still a virgin, provided sex with zombies doesn’t count. ---

Male. I was a junior in high school, she was a sophmore in college. We lived together for 6 years. I never boasted to my high school chums because I was raised to believe that a gentleman doesn’t talk about that sort of thing. ---

> [@echo7tango](#): > > Zombie poll. > > Male here. 19. I’m just your average Joe, I guess. I lost the edit window. Wanted to add… It was my freshman year at UCSB, University of California Santa Barbara (or Sandy Beaches, or more accurately, Sweet Blondes). In my dorm room, Anacapa 1435. I remember that vividly. She was a brunette from NY state, very hot, a great set of tits, and quite skilled. She was visiting from a small engineering school in upstate NY known for engineering geeks and hockey. The timing wasn’t quite right for her, so a few days before The Night, she quite skillfully entertained me with my first BJ in that dorm room. I remember it as an amazing experience. A few days later, when the timing was right for her, she tore my virginity from me with a vengeance. Dan Fogelberg’s song, _Longer_, was playing on my boom box, from his album, The Innocent Age. It was late in the winter quarter, 1980, shortly after final exams. **Memorable**. ---

1. I was very shy, and then reeked of desperation for most of my 20s. All caught up now, though. 😃 ---
