Was your first experience of romantic intimacy a positive one?

[siseñor]

If so/not, then how did it change who you were as a person?

[TheorionMage]

No. :( I was the first born son. Parents were highschool sweethearts. He fixated on being the ideal breadwinner, she the arctypical home ec. HS homemaker... both dutiful naive Roman Catholics guilt-ridden and living in her parent's blue collar home. He worked his way upwardly mobile & hard-working. NEVER got the pragmatic 'facts-o-life' talk, cept for 'don't touch yerself'. First intimacies were a awkward mix of covert ''ineptitude and head-filled-with-bullshit 'romanticism'. Had to 'school' myself from public library's Masters & Johnson studies and similar Alex Comfort's texts. 'Harmful to Minors' had yet to be published.

My friends, girlfriend & I were going to see the movie Hook. Before we left all of us were lounging watching tv. I ended up trying to finger my girlfriend something I never did before. She was sitting on my lap with a blanket over us.

Afterwards I detected a smell. It was my fingers so I went to the toilet & washed my hands with soap & dried it on the towel.

My friend later went to the toilet then yelled out “Wtf is that smell this towel stinks!” My girlfriend was embarrassed but they didn’t know what it actually was.

It was enjoyable, but it wasn't romantic.

[AviatorTom]

Yes, I was very fortunate that my first time was a romantic one, and enjoyable. I still think about it... occasionally, although it was a long time ago.

I guess that'd be my first kiss. It was at a school dance when I was about 13 I guess. The girl I'd liked for a long time came up and asked if I wanted to kiss her. I never told her I liked her so it was strange but we did it and it was fun and I was stunned.

Then she went away and a while later I saw her kissing another boy and my heart was broken lol. Guess she was just having fun.

[siseñor]

Brutal TT

[Tyrael]

Right? I never loved again lol.

Anyway she's got like 4 kids with two baby daddies these days so I dodged a bullet really.

[GreekLorrd]

The first one was really bad, I couldn't come to my senses for 3 months.

[siseñor]

If you don't mind me asking - how so, and do you think it still affects you in some ways today? Thank u

[GreekLorrd]

It still affects me.. My trust in women has been damaged.

[AliSulayman]

Not really. I stayed virgin till 26 by choice, cause I believed in the connection between love and sex.
Ended up losing my virginity to a prostitute after my first heart break.

[siseñor]

That's the saddest thing I've ever read on Gag. I'm sorry man.

[exitseven]

no, it was very forgettable. I never met her before and never saw her again afterwards.

[siseñor]

Damn that's cold haha

[exitseven]

yes, it was just something that happened and was not planned. It was her idea and I went along with it.

Not romantic for me. I’m convinced women don’t know how to be romantic they expect us to be, but they have no idea how to show it back. I have always followed mainstream romantic overplayed sequence of events. And no woman has been able to tell the difference.

[LiamJHayden]

Still trying to decide, but I think so. I was 14, she was 18 and she went back to Spain at the end of August. Since then I have nearly always dated older women. So much less drama than my friends who date younger seem to get.

[NathanDavis]

my first girlfriend was a true blessing in many different ways, a relationship as it is

[DaddyDiablo]

My first time was a one night stand so I don't know how I truly felt lol

[Andres77]

positive, yes, but it was short lived. lets call it bittersweet

[AimeeKyle]

Yes. My high school girlfriend and I went out for two years.

[EaterPeter]

First heart break was very negative so was second third and fourth

[Jennz6]

My first time was not Romantic

[Paige90]

It was romantic but it was very positive!

[Pterodon]

No my first real kiss was a disaster

[Joker_]

never had an experience like that

[siseñor]

Don't lie, u have so many hoes

[Joker_]

actually true, but I gotta keep with my character

[siseñor]

gotta stay undercover, attracting all the hoes probably gets far too taxing otherwise

[Joker_]

sure does

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Negative one. I regret it.

[Xtendable]

I think it was. I loved it

[LavLavLuv]

yes 😊
