Waited until marriage for religious reasons. I was 24 and I’m female. ---

I was 19. Probably would have done it earlier given the chance. Probably should’ve waited 'til later with someone who was emotionally stable. ---

Female, lost it the day before I turned 20. I couldn’t wait the extra day, though that was our plan. Lesson: do not plan to lose your virginity on a birthday or other “special” day. You will either become too impatient or lose your nerve entirely. Looking back, I find it silly. It was a good experience, better, I’m sure, than it would have been with the high school boyfriends who tried their hardest to convince me. I have several younger friends who are virgins and I do my best to sympathize or cheer on, depending on how they feel about their state. ---

17 for me. Some girl I was dating in high school (I’m a guy). My GF and I haven’t done it in awhile so I think it might be growing back. > [@Charger](#): > > Relationships for me last for two years. The first year is great, the second starts good, then goes sour, we try to salvage it, and then it fails. So I now have the “two year test.” If she lasts that long, she’s “The One.” I’m curious. How do you maintain a relationship for 2 years w/o sex? ---

23 in a few hours, and still counting. I’m weird. I’m a nerd. An introverted nerd. I spent saturday night testing the flight controls of a simulated space shuttle. That was a good evening. I’m wavering between “grim acceptance” and “grieving over doubtless eternal loneliness.” I’ll settle on one or the other, sooner or later. ---

With me and with other gay boys it probably depends on how you define “lost” as well. Oral? Penetration- top? Penetration- bottom? etc… Whatever the case, for me it was when I was 12 with a lady who later went on to star in _The Golden Girls_. It was special and romantic, and I absolutely insisted my parents drop the charges and keep it out of the media. I won’t say which one, but let’s just say that to this day I hear the themesong to _Maude_ and have an embarassing reaction. ---

I’ve never watched _Maude_, but according to its IMDB entry, that narrows it down to two out of four possible Golden Girls. That is kind of awesome! ---

Gal here, I was 16. Looking back, I kind of regret it because I was quite ready to have sex, but the guy I was with really wasn’t. He wasn’t that great either. :rolleyes: ---

> [@msmith537](#): > > I’m curious. How do you maintain a relationship for 2 years w/o sex? Well, for me, waiting is more romantic. And sex isn’t that big of a deal to me, I only look at a dating relationship as a testing stage for preparing to live the rest of your life with someone. So, sex is something that happens later on, like a diamond ring and babies. If I were to have sex with a woman minus the lifelong commitment, I would see it as objectifying her, pursuing self-gratification, reducing her to a sex toy\* which would ruin the romance and probably ruin the relationship. When I find someone who is like-minded on the issue, it’s really not that difficult. I also rarely think about sex. I think about a woman (or women), but I don’t really fantasize about sex with them, I just think about the female body not necessarily doing anything specific. \*Bear in mind, I’m not making a judgment here regarding others. I am fully aware that my perspective on this is in the minority. While it would be disrespectful _for me_ to have sex with a woman I’m not married to, I am aware that others don’t share that perspective, so you may see it as a necessary display of mutual affection in a dating relationship. ---
