I just realised that “like it’s your first time” has a positive connotation I guess, but like… motherfucker? Do most people have non-awful first-time experiences of sex? Between garbage sex ed and cisheteronormativity I just can’t imagine. I doubt it was even momentous for most people tbh? Idk.

    My first time having penetrative sex was on my honeymoon, and I think we both realized we’d been mislead by our upbringing and pop culture. You go your entire life thinking things will snap into place like magnets and biology will just take over, but our experience was kind of awful. We were both nervous and stressed, and nobody had really taught us that things simply don’t work when you’re psychologically insecure.

    We can laugh at it in retrospect, but it was really an eye-opening moment for us.

        The sex-ed in the midwest is god-awful. I like to think I had a fortunate experience but there are clearly holes in my education lol

        There are also quite a few people i know who are surprised to have trouble conceiving because they were made to believe they’d get pregnant as soon as they took their clothes off.
