We asked Yalies how they lost their virginity
Feels like the first time
“It was Valentine’s Day and we were drunk off of wine… It took way too long for it to be considered enjoyable.”
“I was having a camp reunion with a few people who I hadn’t seen in a long time. We all got really drunk. This was the drunkest I’d ever gotten. It was someone I’d hooked up with at camp like two years ago, and we haven’t spoken since.”
“It was to Bon Iver, her choice. We were both virgins, and after we got started she was uncomfortable so I stopped. Then she was defiant, she was like, ‘No, we started. We’re going to finish this.'”
“I have really small nipples. Can we get those in there?”
“Back of the car. I didn’t know you had to roll down the windows. It was hot, sweaty, sticky – but not in a good way.”
“Mine was really boring, really sappy, cute high school romance. It was Valentine’s Day. We went out for dinner. The dinner was honestly the better part.”
“We were both really drunk and it was right in September, both virgins at the time, so nobody really knew what went where and if it was right. It was done in great haste. I woke up the next morning and was like ‘I think I lost my virginity but I’m not sure.’
“A couple months later we officially re-lost our virginity. We still didn’t know what went where, but at least we weren’t drunk. It wasn’t a super experience. You should probably use lube.”
“Well, I think I’m still a virgin actually. We didn’t really know what was going on, so we just kind of gave up before anything happened.”
“What do you mean how did I lose my virginity? I had sex.”
“It was in a ditch in a forest. That is not a joke. She lived in a trailer in the hilly area of the desert so we went out back behind her trailer. We laid out blankets, so it was ok.”
“I was in Spain and we were staying in this fancy hotel. We had had a nice dinner, went out. I was 19, so I was like ‘We’re gonna do it now.’ He was like ‘ok’. It was not really fun the first time. It hurt a lot. It’s kinda cute that it was in Spain, I guess.”
“It was a Facebook booty call from someone I barely knew. Fun fact, it was the night before screw and she was my suitemate’s screw date. #sorrynotsorry.”
“My family was at the circus and I stayed home with my boyfriend. It was wonderful, romantic, and some of the best sex we had in our three years together.”
“I was on vacation with my boyfriend. The sex itself was fine, but no one had ever told me that you’re supposed to pee afterwards! The resulting UTI was the most painful thing ever… and asking his mom to take me to a doctor was even worse.”
“I lost my virginity on my roommate’s bed because mine was too messy.”
“We were talking, and then all conversation stopped – we knew this was the moment. We got in a cab and got a room at the nearest hotel. We had sex like three times in a row. 45 minutes total – no shame, it was awesome!
She would show me what to do and what I was doing wrong. But of course I was perfect right off the bat… Although I did accidentally put it in her butt at first. No, that’s a joke. Look, it’s not really clear which hole is which.“
