Men losing their virginity

Be that their most memorable experience, their favourite position, or their go-to sex toy. This article comes as the first of our new series, We Asked Guys. After months of dating, kissing and heavy petting we decided that the time was right. We decided to do it at my house as her mother was at home as she was a teacher and it was the summer holidays.

Ah, the first time—be it good, bad, or somewhere in between, there's only ever one. You probably know a lot of your besties' first time stories, but ever wonder how the other half fares? We asked guys to share their first-time experiences—and you might be surprised by a few of them. My roommate was out for a little while, so we took advantage of the open space. I shook the entire time, and she was super sweet and kind of coached me through how everything was supposed to work.

Losing your virginity is a unique experience. It can be hard to know just what to expect. What will it feel like, when should you do it, and how can you stay safe during your first time?

In order to help debunk some of the harmful and confusing myths around the subject, we spoke to a variety of sex experts, psychologists and regular people about what losing your virginity means, and how to go about getting it done the right way. The concept of losing your virginity is not as simple as many people make it out to be. Traditionally, losing your virginity has meant engaging in penetrative sexual intercourse, whether penis-in-vagina or penis-in-anus. However, not everyone sees it as that. But there is great variation and it seems young folks are more open to seeing sex as an experience that can involve a range of acts — not simply a singular one.
