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 "?

Kittylester. I agree with you- if you don’t like the post just ignore it! Scroll on!

Totally true!If you don't like the subject or the question.....jog on!!! So many "pure" Victorian "thinking" people on gransnet!Who would have thought? Grow up!!

Your comment is immature.
No pure Victorian thinking here. However, I have no interest in your sex life and it's none of your business what mine is like.
If you start a thread, you would be naive to expect everyone to think the same as you.

It’s not putting others down, it’s saying that asking such a personal question and relaying your and your husband’s experiences is considered by many to be inappropriate. I don’t know why you don’t understand and respect that.

I think the info about contraception being available is interesting. Thank goodness for the sympathetic woman GP we had access to. The rest is nobody's business. I've never understood why anyone wants to share details about their sex life, even when we were teenagers and giggling about things we didn't really understand it wasn't something I did. I'm certainly not starting now.

I think that discussing your sex life very much depends on your age and culture .

I have a lot of friends , who are much younger than me .
They aren't " smutty" about sex , but have occasionally asked my opinion about it .

Last week , a 27 year old male friend asked me if I thought that it would be OK to have sex as his partner has had a suspected miscarriage .
I advised him not to for now , until he has asked the obstetrician .

I think that they are just interested to know .

Friends of my own age (71) tend not to talk about it and never about their first experience , but might say " thank goodness he doesn't bother me anymore ! "

My Middle Eastern and Asian female friends talk about sex very frequently and never in male company in which they are demure !

I can’t believe this question is being asked. I know it’s Gransnet, but we’re not 140-years-old 🙄
