We waited until the engagement before we indulged!(easier for me than him!)I was "entitled" to being on the pill,being an engaged lady! Plus I definitely didn't want to risk a pregnancy! Also as an added "no no"I was brought up with the" nice girls didn't ".I was 21 at the time and" it"happened when we were on holiday.We were staying with his aunt and uncle.Separate rooms for DH(then)and I but when they left for work,himself visited and we did the deed.I was an "innocent" virgin.He,d had a teenage girlfriend before me whom he lost his to. She DIDN'T need a ring or the pill .I was told,much later no other method was used either.I insisted on "back up".I must have been thorough!!Can't say it was earthshattering but it was nice to be" close ".Anyone else have good or bad memories of their" first time "?

It’s not my place to judge the OP on this platform, I just choose to keep my experiences to myself.

My husband would be horrified if I shared such information, because it is PERSONAL and PRIVATE

I did not have sex before marriage, and not much after, either. Are you surprised I’m divorced 😂

I wasn’t on herein 2016. It doesn’t change my view that asking people for their personal sexual experiences is very unsavoury, as is relating your own first sexual experience and that of your husband with another girl. Do you have no boundaries? Do you not care what your husband and his former girlfriend would think about what you have written?

By the way all you "condemners"gn did an expert forum on this very subject in 2016.It included the statement" we are products of the swinging 60,s!

MERYL:I can assure you I am neither "unsavoury or dim".Throwing insults is not warranted.Thanyou!

Dim I don't know, but I find the question nosey and unsavoury.

No I would not share, it is private. Not open for discussion. In other words mind your own business.

I,now feel totally put in my place,thankyou MERYL.I think we have "crossed swords"on previous threads.

Why am I not surprised.

Thing is op. Not many people our age care about other people’s sex lives.
Because basically it’s a bit boring.
We’ve lived a lot & seen a lot.
Mumsnet have a dedicated sex topic for all things sex related ( or they used to when I was on there years ago ) & trust me, they discuss everything! - but they’re a lot younger over there so sex is more relevant I suppose - not saying sex stops at 50, but it’s not a subject older people are that interested in. Generally speaking.

Exactly, it's the 21st century!

It doesn't mean some life events may get reclassified as public automatically

Oh dear,I seem to have disturbed a hornet,s nest!And I thought we were in the 21st century!

You’re not wrong there but there is something unsavoury about a woman of a certain age wanting to know about strangers sex lives.
As I’m sure you’re aware there are plenty of sites around where you would be welcomed with open arms.
This isn’t one of them.

Nana75 Sun 07-Jan-24 16:59:02

Isn,t it interesting!I have read quite a few posts where gn,s have discussed their partner,s/husband's ED issues.As well as those who openly discuss "how they miss intimacy" .What I would add,if you don't have anything interesting or constructive to add......maybe say nothing at all!!

Smileless2012 Sun 07-Jan-24 16:55:50

grapes of gropes!!! gringrin

Marydoll Sun 07-Jan-24 16:54:13

Not interested in the least in anyone's sex life.
Oh and I am not a prude!

pascal30 Sun 07-Jan-24 16:52:57

grapes or gropes!!!

pascal30 Sun 07-Jan-24 16:52:26

sounds like sour graped

Smileless2012 Sun 07-Jan-24 16:50:07

"She DIDN'T need a ring or the pill" your point being?

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 07-Jan-24 16:46:06

I’m not a prude but some things are private - and I have to say I take a dim view of your sharing your husband’s experience with his previous girlfriend, about whom we have heard much from you already. Does it not occur to you that she, or someone who can identify her, might be on GN?

For me to know and absolutely no one else to find out.
