11 People Shared Stories About Their First Time Having Sex

Losing your virginity is a big deal. It's not uncommon to have all sorts of romantic and exciting fantasies of how your first time will play out. But for most people, the reality is that their first time having sex was less than perfect.

One reason may be that the average American loses their virginity at age 17, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). And, because this only represents heterosexual (penile/vaginal) intercourse, and the definition of "virginity" varies from individual to individual, the average age may be even younger.

It makes sense that with lack of experience, nerves, and some pretty skewed views of what sex actually looks like, that people's first times are usually not so great or not what they expected.

Reddit users shared some of their awkward, funny, and downright embarrassing stories about losing their virginity. Of course, these examples of first times are just for fun, as we can't independently authenticate the stories.
