Edward Gorey was one of those formative things lying around the house for my sisters and I to discover on our own, and feel like we were getting away with something awesome and intellectual and adult. Also, Anais Nin. I wonder if my parents did this on purpose?

I high fived him because I was so happy to be shed of the darn thing [virginity]. Is that covered in the book?

I can't even remember my first time. Let's just say I'm a complete lightweight and was several tequilas past smashed. It was with my boyfriend, if that redeems me a little.

Hyacinthe Phypps is the pseudonym for Blanche Devereaux, right?

This is what I imagine her memoirs would be.

"I don't know how to drive standard."

What I actually said shortly after giving up the card in the front seat of my boyfriend's parents' Camry. Apparently, the dirt road we had driven down to get our freak on was filled with deep, icy puddles. So naturally I had to get out and try to push.

Ahhh romance.

Well, I'm waiting for marriage, so hopefully the post-"deflowering" (ugh) conversation is natural and all lovey-dovey and on a tropical island somewhere. And uhh, hopefully it happens sometime this decade because I am freakin horny.

ahem.

@thesciencegirl: May I recommend having something between you and the sand on the tropical island? Just a suggestion :)

Also, Maui is fantastic.

I didnt say anything after, though I told him I hadnt had sex before. He stewed for a few days and then freaked out wondering why I didnt feel the need to make sure we were 'together'. I basically didnt give a shit because I figured we probably were (correct) and didnt care if for some reason he didn't want to date me because I didnt feel super invested in the whole thing. Yes, I can be kind of flippant, why do you ask?

@LaFemme: HA. I love that .. I've had many a man not sure yet if he wants to be with me, but highly concerned that I wasn't screaming about wanting titles. Apparently, our flippant attitudes defy the laws of macho nature. Whoops.

Next time my husband and I get it on, I will definitely shrewdly remark to him "I take it there will be no fee" when we are done.

I don't think I said anything. I think I just went and found my friends and had them take me home. No conversation. But then again, it didn't happen exactly the way I would have liked.

Edward Gorey FTW because: His work is so intricate, he loves cats, and he clearly has a sense of humor about sex and death (which, in my opinion, are two topics taken way too seriously sometimes).

Full disclosure: I have some Gorey tattoos and all of his anthologies. LOOOOVE.

My ex was 25, and I didn't know until later that I was his first (he lied about it for a while). I didn't notice.

@Ascendo_tuum: The fact that you couldn't pick out a virgin just goes to show that most men know relatively little about pleasing women. I have a hunch one of mine was a virgin, but I'll never know.

@JerseyGrrrl: Actually, I had sex with another virgin (he was a lot younger) and it was the best sex I've ever had in my life. He was just a natural though, I think. Especially in the oral department. We still talk and I remind him of that quite often ;).

The 25-year old..he really wasn't bad. At least not to the point that I suspected anything. He needed a little direction but not really any more than other guys that I've been with that were far from being virgins. So I guess you do have a point in that regard. Some guys can have tons of sex and never get any better and other guys (as KittenPower points out)are just naturally perceptive.
