On November 11th, 2012, I lost my virginity.
. . .
THERE! I’ve said it! After… what is it, five or six years now that I’ve known something was wrong with my vagina? I can finally, finally say,
I AM NOT A VIRGIN ANYMORE.
So what happened? Nothing special, really — my husband and I were lounging around and he reminded me that we needed to work on dilating together again. I groaned about it, and he ignored my grumbling, pulled me up from my seat on the couch and into the bedroom. We practiced with the dilators, and like usual it was uncomfortable for a while and awkward throughout the rest of it. After that was through, we decided to engage in some adult activities that sounded a bit more fun.
I was enjoying myself thoroughly, and at one point the thought just entered my mind: We should try it. I was hesitant, like I always am, nervous about the pain and also wondering how to phrase this to my husband in a way that wasn’t… I dunno, awkward.
“Hey, um… Want to see if we can fit you in a little bit?”
Yeah. Not awkward at all. *insert sarcasm here*
So, we tried. At first, not much happened; like with the dilators, it took a couple minutes of gentle pressing at the entrance for anything to happen. But after a while, my muscles relaxed just enough, and I slid him in a good couple inches.
And for those wondering how it feels, it’s hard to describe, really… Stretched out, yes. Sore, definitely. But somehow… easier to bear, I suppose. I was worried that the flared head of the penis might feel like it could get “caught” in my vagina somehow, but I’ve never noticed anything like that.
I suppose I’m getting a bit ahead of myself here. Even now, months after this, I still can only last a few minutes before everything just gets far too sore. My husband still can’t move around much; we certainly haven’t been able to have either of us achieve orgasm yet. But sometimes we’ll be there together, embracing, him slowly moving in and out just a little bit, and despite the soreness, I’m thinking,
“You know what? I think I can kinda get why people like this…”
I wish I could describe it. It gives you a satisfying sense of… fullness? A bit of pressure on the internal portions of the clitoris, I assume (if we want to get scientific about it). It hasn’t brought me anywhere close to orgasm yet, and I know that 75% of all women need more than just penetration to orgasm, so I’m not holding out hope that someday intercourse will be as intense as direct clitoral stimulation.
But hey, if eventually I can bring my husband fully to orgasm that way, and thoroughly enjoy the time while we’re doing it… I’ll consider that a challenge fully overcome.
