I grew up with the mentality that I wouldn’t have sex until after I was married. I had several relationships throughout high school and college, and saw every one of them fail. It was always the case that the girl I was dating was ready, but I was not—I was set in my ways and still held my virgin status at 20.
I had sex the day I graduated college, with someone who I’ve slept with (literally slept) countless times throughout our 5+ year friendship. It was expectedly awful, poorly executed sex due to inexperience—but I didn’t care. It was with someone I trusted I could be comfortable with, and once I gave myself to her the thought of “choosing the wrong person” for my first time went away.
I have been able to explore sex comfortably with girls ever since. Here’s to hoping that everyone who chooses to do this is happy with their decision.
