Are you ready?

Frankly, I just wanted to get it over with.

Didn't hurt that the guy was good looking, and understanding that I was nervous.

You don't have to have sex only with people you think you'd have a future with you know.

Some of the best sex I've had were with people I would have no desire to even have a relationship with.

I don't go for the brainwashing that you have to only have sex with "the one".

If you are under the age of 24, it doesnt make sense to think about a future with anyone. You have to decide what you want for yourself. But if you are in a relationship with someone who is fun to be with and treats you with respect, there is nothing wrong with sex.

I agree with Chai, our culture attaches far too much baggage to sex. As you get older you realize how little it matters. If you want to have sex, then have sex. Just make sure your partner treats you with respect and use protection.
