Given the subject of the QOTW
I was wondering how old people were when they lost their cherry?

I always thought that 16 was OK but people tend to look at me like some kind of tart.

How about you guys?

which is the age of consent in Norn Irn. In a very non-CHCB way I waited 10 or so months into the relationship because back then it was a huge deal. Once I did the deed it somehow became inconsequential and very repeatable. This is why I have never murdered.

I was 18
which may be a little old for a male. There were extenuating circumstances... but anyway, not long after that I started making up for it.

In fact, the story of losing mine can be found here.

The only disappointment (for me, I'm sure the whole experience was disappointing for her) was discovering that she wasn't as pure as she claimed.

And to think that I loved* her.

just! my other half (now) was 19 when he finally popped his cherry, and said he used to be really ashamed of it, as all his school friends went on about the mad sex they were having from about 13 onwards. he is still friends with a few of them though, and turns out they were all lying to seem cool.

17, I think.
I wasn't particularly with it, drugs/mental health issues.

Might have been 18.

It's always quite funny when I'm asked the story because 5 words in I get interrupted, every, time.

Well, I was in Amsterdam (here's the interruption where everyone assumes the rest of the story) on my first holiday without parents.

I'd been there 4 days having fun drinking & smoking too much. The evening of that 4th day most of the lads I was with were off to the Satellite Sports Cafe to watch a football match, not caring for football or overpriced beer I left them to it and ended up wandering into a little bar called Tapvreugd with Scott Adams' The Dilbert Principle for a quiet pint on my own.

Not long after I arrived a local girl took a seat at the bar next to me, asking what I was laughing at I proceeded to show her the Dilbert strip that made me laugh. We got chatting & one thing led to another...

[Fade to black for decency]

...Before I left in the morning she wrote on the inside of the book cover:

Dear Will,

It was lovely to meet you, It is a shame you are leaving today.

Love,

Ilka

I still have the book & occasionally dig it out just to re-read that inscription, it always makes me smile no matter how bad a day I've had.

So, what everyone expects to be a hooker story is actually the story of probably the only time Dilbert ever got anyone laid.

bill, that's ace!
I was eighteen, as was she. After a year of preliminary investigation (read: rampant fumbling) we lay in a field of golden wheat and had very awkward and unfulfilling sex. That was, until we were interrupted by a tractor spraying solid fertiliser pellets.

Unfortunately, a true story. I wouldn't have had it any other way tho :)

it was a bit messy, and the deed was done behind a bowling green in the warm twilight, classy me

and she wasn't bad, either.

And yes, there were people boasting from the age of 13 at school, but guess what folks, they were lying.

but I put that down to the fact that I was tubby metaller who was also a geek

not a winning combination

contrary to most people's experience though, my first time was great. I put it down to the heroic quantity of gin I had consumed.

I hesitate to reveal this information... it's not as bad as it sounds.

Ah crap. Yes it is.

Well I'd done "stuff" from a pretty early age, some of it involving other people... but the age I properly lost my virginity was 14.

It was for all the wrong reasons, and it wasn't much fun, and it does have an embarrassing story to it which I have been trying to pluck up the courage to post in the qotw.

After I had been through all this, this happened.

Dunno what most people get for their 14th birthday but I got sex of my brothers mate (she's a she!) who was 18 at the time.

I think it lasted all of about 2 minutes and she replied after..."well at least you lasted longer than your brother"


Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

She was 18, we'd been going out for about 9 months before we did it for various reasons.
It was lovely and I wouldn't have done it any other way :-)

I'm frankly astonished to admit, considering no girl at school had really given me a second glance (or so I thought at the time - according to a mate of mine that was't the case at all, I was just too fucking shy to notice).

it was disappointing.

my sister was 13 when she lost hers.
she was 12 when she gave her first bj.

i used this information to get revenge on her when she scratched my fools gold 12 inch vinyl with a compass.

Seeing all of these 17s and up is making me feel like a bit of a slapper. Then I have to remember that I did develop very early (was wearing a real bra by the time I was 10....not a training bra, a B-cup) so people always thought I was much older than I really was.

Oh hell, that is no excuse. As my best friend of the last 20+ years says, I was just a big ol' slut.

But nerves got the better of me at 16, 17 and 18 before finally 'putting it to bed' as it were...

Seems silly looking back now, but I was genuinely terrified about pretty much everything that could possibly go wrong!
