The first time we made love…
MAYBE you weren’t quite ready; maybe there was peer pressure; maybe you just couldn’t wait; maybe it was your greatest yet; or maybe it’s an episode you regret, but that first time, that first encounter with the opposite sex is something most people remember, good or bad.
Below a few people share their memories of that experience.
Francis D, 35. First experience — 13:
It felt like heaven. I was waiting to do it so that I could fit in.
Karen C, 24. First experience — 18:
One word to describe it: awkward. At that point everything felt odd. I wondered if I was making the right decision and out of fear I got up and ran under my dining table.
Anastacia T, 23. First experience — 20:
It wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be, but it was still bad. I had pain worse than any other.
Nicola W, 39. First experience — 28:
It happened on my wedding night. Let’s say there was pain, then pleasure.
Anthony D, 24. First experience — 13:
She was older and I grew up in an environment where older women gave you a ‘buss’. To cut a long story short, I felt scared and horrified. I was ‘handled’.
Alex H, 42. First experience — 20:
I’m from a Christian home that instilled principles of purity and waiting until marriage. But when I went to university and got exposed to the real world, I decided to explore and the first act of rebellion was to have sex. I felt thrilled, relieved and macho.
Romario R, 36. First experience — 17:
I had no idea what I should have done, so based on what I saw in certain movies and read from certain magazines, I tried to imitate them. I felt embarrassed when I saw that the girl had a poker face throughout the whole six minutes.
Andrew S, 27. First experience — 14:
I felt sick as I was drunk through illegal means. I eventually became embarrassed when I vomited after peaking.
Natalie F, 30. First experience — 21:
It felt like hell. It wasn’t nice at all.
Sharon S, 27. First experience — 16:
I felt like I was running a marathon and trying to get to the finish line as quickly as possible.
