Is it normal to let your first time be with someone you don't love?

I'm 21 and a virgin. I don't think I'm saving it for anyone. But I've never been in love. I think it's because I'm too focus on the sex part of it. A guy friend of mine wants to do it with me, but i don't love him and I know he doesn't love me.

    To be honest I think you're over thinking it. Why is sex so important these days? I think that if you want to have sex and you have the urge to be with someone just do it. You don't have to love someone to have sex with them. The first time I had sex was when I was fairly young, but i stayed with that person for two years and don't regret it to this day. I don't know what love is and to be honest I don't think people know what love is til you are put in a situation where you are going to lose everything. Live life to the fullest and stop making sex such a big deal. We don't have that much time to make the most of what life has to offer so have fun.

      They say you remember your first love more than the first time you had sex, most of us are young when we first do it and are shit freightened I remember thinking what so great about sex but 10 years on I view it different and now think its wonderful. Don't let anyone sway you to have sex do it when you feel its the right time for you. Also maybe forget this friend and do mit will someone else he knows your situation and might just want bragging rights which would make you feel even worse - when it happens enjoy

    Not only normal but also desirable. Don't have sex the first time (or even many times after that) with someone you love. Separate sex from the love, then when you are good and comfortable with it you can give more to one you do love. If you like your friend then have sex with him.

    Wow, you're still a virgin at 21? Well your first time is always horrible so it's probably better that you do it with someone you don't love.

    Do what you feel is right for you. Virginity isn't that big of a deal.

    Just be Nike about it and just do it. Your an adult. It's normal to want to have sex just for the sake of sex.

    Just get it over with. The first time is nothing special. We think that it will be, but its usually bogus. At least the guy who wants to bang you is someone you know. No harm there. You may regret it, but you may also regret not doing it. Its really up to you of course

      Then again, if your still waiting, maybe your just not ready? Well, I don't know, but I wouldn't hold out much longer. Experience is a good thing

  • Just do it. The first time it will probably suck.

    Then try it again... Hmmm. Not bad.

    Then again....Getting better.

    Then again.....Very good.

    Then again.......Quite Nice.

    Then again...OH, MY GOD. BRG, UNGNTH PFBIE DOWIFNAO

    If you do it right it's pretty much like that.

    Just don't get to the point where you mostly say "NEXT!"

  • My first time was with someone I didnt even know. I almost don't remember it cause I was too wasted. I regretted it at first because I met my first boyfriend not so long after that but overall, it was not a bad thing

    Most people's first time isn't great. Especially for females. Haha. I by no means believe in the " save it for marriage" concept. That is ridiculous and compatibility in the bedroom is important to a healthy relationship. However, I don't recommend having sex just to say you have done it. At least wait until it is someone you are attracted to so it isn't the worst experience ever. Oh, and be safe. Most guys will find a way to avoid the safe route, stick to your guns and make them wrap it and pull out. Or try out females, less messy and you might get more out of it, and no babies! Haha

    well my first time was with a friend of mine.like you neither of us loved each other.Though I dont regret it cause before sleeping with him i made sure he respects me.He always says I am passionate,that theres nobody like me.We are still together and I think he started to love me.So before doing anything make sure he respects you.And if you want to do that then do it.Life is too short to waste your time

    Waiting is pointless. Your first time isn't that special at all.

    WAIT that's what sex was made for is having it with someone who loves you and that you love in return. What happens when you find the love of your life and you could have experienced that with him first instead of someone whomeans nothing to you. It may sound like a good idea bow but in the long run you will be sorry.

    You should save it for the one you love. Wait until you fall in love with someone and that someone loves you the same. :)

    Only if you feel ready. If you really want to, go for it, if you have some doubts, wait. Dont just do it without thinking, because you would regret it.

    I lost my virginity to someone I was in love with at the time. Then we fell out of love and I realized he was kind of a jerk. Now I feel kind of ashamed that I made so much more of it than it really was...I thought it was special and it wasn't. I wish I had lost it to someone I didn't care about. On the bright side, I now have a funny story about how serious it all seemed. It's really not a big deal. Live in the moment, if you want to fuck someone, then do it - you never know if someone "special" is going to turn out a dick in the end. And it won't make it any less special when you find someone you DO care about - no matter how many come before, sex with someone you care about is always intimate.

    I don't even know the guy's name who I first did it with, and I don't regret it. There was NO pressure, no drinking/drugs, whatever. I initiated it because I just wanted to do it.

    I think alot of people give it up due to
    preassure
    drinking/smoking
    think they are inlove
    dont really care

    I lost mines to my ex husband that I met when I was homeless I didnt love him I didnt even like the guy (and I still dont)
    but I was going through alot and started drinking
    and one night I let it go

    that was when I was 21 (your age)

    Im now 34 and I still REGRET IT
    and I hope you make the right choice for you
    and dont make the same mistake like me

    wait for someone you feel comfortable with and in the mean time get a dildo and enjoy youself...it should hold you over....lol....please be patient....sweety
    you wont regret it...lol

    I'd say wait. I waited for the man of my dreams. We also dated a looong time because I was young when we started dating. (15, now 20) It was something very special for me and something I remember very fondly. Also since I was also HIS first its like a special thing between us because both of our bodies have only ever been explored by each other. I realy love that.
