First Time Sex!

This is it people. The moment you’ve all been waiting for. A tale that has everything.  Intrigue, romance and just a little action. This is the story of how I lost my virginity.

We all have a story of how it came to transpire that someone actually had sex with us. I’m sure I am not the only one whose first time wasn’t the earth shattering revelation that we’d built it up to be.

Please don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed myself, for about 45 seconds… before my seemingly inbuilt sexual selfishness took over and caused me to come.

But I’m skipping the foreplay that led to this climactic ending so let me go back…

For those of you that read my introductory blog you’ll know that in terms of blooming is was a little late to the game. But better late than never right?

The year is 2006 and I have just started my HSC at a brand new school. Not a huge group of friends but not a social pariah either. It was through this small group that I met Leia* a gorgeous and talented musician that was staying in the boarding house of my school, the boarding house was for international students and students that lived too far away to commute every day, she was the latter, her parents living in Wentworth Falls, deep in the blue mountains.

We hit it of immediately, becoming good friends. She was dating a boy in the year below us at the time but it didn’t work out unfortunately. Shortly afterwards we started dating.

It was unlike anything I’d ever experienced. The coffee dates, constant texting and cute smiles, it was a whole new world.

After a few weeks of pg13+ makeout sessions and some very heavy petting, the sex conversation was becoming inevitable. After some underage drinking at a location that will remain undisclosed to protect those involved, it was time to share my hidden shameful secret. I was a 17 year old virgin…

She was great about it and very understanding. Apparently it’s not as uncommon as I’d built it up to be. So that was it, my secret was out and she was still around. In hindsight, having a good looking boy that you can mould and shape to suit your sexual needs isn’t a bad thing. Besides it was all amazing to me.

So we laid the plans, pun intended, and decided that her house would be best as my dad and step mum were always around. I called my friends to organise my alibi and she did the same. Then the date was set…

We had two weeks until I was destined to lose my V plates and two weeks has never taken so long to pass in the history of measured time. But after what felt like a sexless eternity, today was the day.

I was ready, I was pumped, I was suddenly realising I had no idea what I was doing…

Sure I went to sex ed. Like everyone else but there’s a subtle difference between putting a condom on a banana and putting one on yourself. Not to mention the fact that 2d drawn pictures with bullet points really don’t do the complexity of the vagina justice.

I then spent 3 hours on a train plaguing myself with every “what if” my anxious teenage brain could comprehend. Which was probably the worst thing I could do.

But I realised that like everything, Practise makes perfect. So, if I didn’t fuck like a Pornstar my first time that’s okay. That thought comforted me on the walk to her house.

But then I got there and the reality sunk in and the “what ifs” came back with a violent intensity and I nearly ran screaming back to the station. But I manned up and knocked on her door.

She invited me in and told me to make myself at home. So I sat down in her lounge room while some action movie played in the background. We started making out and as things got a little hotter she suggested that we move into her room.

I attempted to be as confident as I could but everything I knew about sex in real life came from porn, which isn’t skewed towards realism at all. So after taking charge and failing spectacularly she took over.

She told me to get naked and lay on the bed. Being unsure of myself I quickly stripped and got under the blankets. When she stripped down and joined me, I started shaking I was so anxious. But with an almost patient gentleness she coaxed me to full arousal with my headjob first experience.

Sensing my readiness she told me to put a condom on, and once id finally figured it out (3 attempts later I think…) she guided me inside her… I’d love to tell you that the stars exploded in my eyes and the whole universe shifted. But truthfully, it felt good but didn’t live up to the hype everyone was telling me about.

I’ve since had many sexual partners and experiences.

But I’ll always remember my first time.
