WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:03.200 Guys, what's the most unexpected way you lost your V card? 2 00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:06.960 Story one. I was working at a beach resort in 3 00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:11.320 Maine called Point Sebago, organizing activities like kids games and 4 00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:14.960 Botchie tournaments for the adults. One evening, around eight thirty 5 00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:17.559 or nine, I was strolling along the beach when I 6 00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.640 noticed some girls swimming in the water. They started yelling 7 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.160 and giggling at me. It turned out they were skinny 8 00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:26.000 dipping and inviting me to join. Hell yeah, I wasn't 9 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.440 about to say no. I sprinted about one hundred yards 10 00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:33.079 to the nearest bush, quickly shed some clothes, and jumped 11 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:36.359 into the water. After splashing around and giggling for a 12 00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:38.960 few minutes, we made our way to a dock about 13 00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:42.880 fifty yards away. As we treaded water, I suddenly felt 14 00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.560 something brush against my leg. Then again it was soft. 15 00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:51.920 Wait another leg, smooth and perfectly shaved. I glanced to 16 00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.320 my left and caught my first ever doo me look. Somehow, 17 00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.920 I just knew exactly what it meant. I swam closer 18 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.479 and started kissing her. While we were kissing, she grabbed 19 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:05.680 my hand and swam backward under the dock. I followed 20 00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:10.840 without hesitation. Things escalated quickly. After a few minutes, her 21 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:13.719 friend started catching on and called out urgently for her 22 00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:16.000 to come back. You could hear the change in her 23 00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:19.319 voice as she realized what was going on. About five 24 00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:22.760 minutes later, we finished, or at least I did. She 25 00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.480 gave me a coy smile and a wink before swimming 26 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.439 back out to meet her friend. As she swam back 27 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.719 to shore, I asked her name. She paused for a moment, 28 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.599 then said Meredith. I could tell she was lying. Just 29 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:37.040 as quickly as it had started. 30 00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:37.799 It was over. 31 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.879 I stayed in the water treading for a few minutes, 32 00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.079 letting it sink in that this amazing girl, whose real 33 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.840 name I'd never know, had made me a man. Tonight, 34 00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:51.079 Meredith or whatever your name really is. Thank you before 35 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.079 we continue. You us a quick favor. Smashed that like 36 00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.879 button and subscribe to support our channel. Story two. There 37 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.319 was a woman who worked at our school. I'm not 38 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:03.359 exactly sure what her official role was, but she worked 39 00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:06.719 in the office, handing out forms to students, some kind 40 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:10.039 of clerk. At graduation, those of us with a three 41 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:14.280 point five GPA or higher received a special, fancier version 42 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.599 of our diploma. Mine had metallic blue detailing for a 43 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.919 three point seven gpa. She was the one handing them 44 00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.479 out that day. I had seen her a few times 45 00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.199 before during school, and at that age, with raging hormones, 46 00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.039 you can find just about anyone attractive. She was definitely 47 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.120 hot for an older woman. We'd exchanged eye contact and 48 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.759 glances before. That was the build up. When I collected 49 00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:41.120 my diploma, she congratulated me and slipped me a post 50 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:43.960 it note with a number on it, one hundred and forty. 51 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.479 She told me if I was interested to meet her 52 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:49.080 there for an extra reward, there was a room number 53 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:52.080 at a nearby hotel, the only one within a mile 54 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:55.479 of the school. I have no regrets. I was eighteen, 55 00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:57.960 she was forty eight, and I guess that's when my 56 00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:01.840 fascination and obsession with older wins and began to be honest, 57 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.120 the banging part itself was underwhelming, and I was nervous 58 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.879 as hell the whole time, But doing something i'd always 59 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:11.199 fantasized about and with someone i'd had the dirtiest thoughts 60 00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:15.120 about throughout high school made it totally worth it. And yes, 61 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:17.919 whenever I tell this story, people immediately call bs. 62 00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:21.000 But who cares. I know, I got some that day. 63 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:25.159 Story three. I was a chubby kid with low self esteem, 64 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:28.879 mostly keeping to myself and not socializing much. Then one 65 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.159 day out of nowhere, my dad showed up. I hadn't 66 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:36.000 seen him in months. As usual, he was drunk. He said, 67 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.960 get in the car. We start going fishing. I climbed 68 00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:43.360 in and we headed south. I fell asleep somewhere along 69 00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.199 the way. When I woke up, it was dark outside. 70 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.120 I asked, are we close to the lake? He just 71 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.120 laughed and popped open another beer. We stopped at a 72 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.319 gas station, and that's when I realized we were in Mexico. 73 00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.479 An hour later, we stopped at a dimly lit cantina 74 00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.479 and walked in. There were about ten women and a 75 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.319 bartender inside. My dad handed the bartender some money and 76 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.560 told me take your pick, pointing at the women. Her 77 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.240 name was Rosa. She smelled of cigarettes and sheep perfume. 78 00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:16.360 She took me by her rough, calloused hand, leading me upstairs. 79 00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.240 Not sure if I knew what was happening, I looked 80 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.879 back to for reassurance from my dad, but he was 81 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:23.800 already on his way to a room with one of 82 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:27.839 the other women. After that, my confidence improved, I got 83 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.839 in shape, began talking to girls, and turned out to 84 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.120 be a handsome, self assured man. I hardly saw my 85 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:36.800 dad after that, but I owe it all to him 86 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:38.879 and his present on my fifteenth birthday. 87 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:40.160 Story four. 88 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.639 Honestly, I'm not thrilled about how it all went down, 89 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.680 but whatever. I lost my V card fairly recently, toward 90 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.879 the end of twenty twenty two. It happened because one 91 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.600 of my mom's friends, who travels a lot, was coming 92 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.360 to visit. She has a daughter, though I didn't know 93 00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:58.720 that at the time. I was at school when my 94 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:02.839 mom texted me telling me to greet them and all that. Afterwards, 95 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:05.959 I was heading back home. Luckily, I was already looking 96 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.360 nice from an event we had at school. When I 97 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.720 got home, I greeted my mom's friend like usual. Just 98 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.759 as I was about to head to my room, she 99 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.720 called out my name and asked me to greet someone else. 100 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:18.199 I didn't think much of it. 101 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.639 Then the most gorgeous girl I'd ever seen came out 102 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:24.040 of the guest bathroom. Instead of a handshake, she gave 103 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.040 me a hug, which was really unusual for me, and 104 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.560 I could feel my heart pounding later, we decided to 105 00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.360 grab lunch at a restaurant. Just as we were about 106 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.680 to walk in, she suddenly turned around and started grooming 107 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.759 my hair and eyebrows. She said, I just wanted to 108 00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.639 fix a small thing that was bothering me. I wasn't 109 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.199 expecting that at all. I still remember every detail clearly. 110 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:50.480 I just said, oh, okay, I wasn't expecting that. After that, 111 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:54.240 lunch became really awkward. We barely made eye contact and 112 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.920 stayed silent throughout the entire meal. On the trip back home, 113 00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.199 we started chatting a lot and really had fun together. 114 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:03.959 When we got there, her parents expected her to sleep 115 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.279 in my room with me since I was supposed to 116 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.879 sleep in the living room, but she decided to stay 117 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.879 in the living room instead. Her parents were skeptical, but 118 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.439 eventually agreed. We started making small talk on the couch 119 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.680 and decided to put on Netflix to watch a show. 120 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.839 After a while, she began talking about my love life 121 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.600 and shared how her ex had cheated on her. When 122 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:25.920 I started opening up, she was surprised to learn that 123 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.360 I don't have a love life and have never really 124 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.480 been with anyone before. Then, she started asking if the 125 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.959 girl on the show was hot sexy cute, and I shrugged, 126 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.079 saying sure, I guess. Suddenly, she lay down on my 127 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.720 lap while the show played. I looked down at her 128 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:43.759 and told her she was really beautiful. She smiled and 129 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.199 thanked me. Then she mentioned how fast my heart was beating, 130 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.040 and I instantly got flustered. I blurted out, oh, you 131 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:51.600 can hear that. 132 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:53.639 She nodded yes. 133 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.920 I admitted sorry, I said, just never been this close 134 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:02.360 to a girl before. She looked, really, so you seriously 135 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:06.920 are virgin? I nodded yeah. She said, well I thought 136 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:10.319 you were lying, but now I believe you. Okay, I 137 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:14.560 said quietly. There was a brief pause, then she said okay. 138 00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.800 I sep tired of this. She got up, sat on 139 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.279 my lap, facing me, and started kissing me. After a moment, 140 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.920 she asked, are you okay. There was a small hesitation 141 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:28.879 before I replied yeah, I said in fine. We ended 142 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.079 up making out on the couch for a while after that. 143 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.720 After a few minutes, we both moved onto the inflatable 144 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:38.839 bed and continued to make out. I nervously asked, is 145 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.680 it okay? If we you know do it? She replied, yeah, 146 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.279 it's up to you. By the way, she had an IUD, 147 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.199 so we didn't use a rubber. Looking back, that was 148 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:50.680 a really stupid risk, but I was caught up in 149 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:53.560 the moment and just horny. When I was done, she 150 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.279 smiled and said, I don't know what you did, but 151 00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:57.360 that was actually good. 152 00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:58.399 I liked it. 153 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:03.079 That compliment completely boosted my confidence and self esteem. After that, 154 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.959 we basically took every opportunity we had alone to be 155 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:09.240 together until she left, and we stayed connected for a 156 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.399 while until she ended up ghosting me. Story five. When 157 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.199 I was eighteen, I played in a pretty terrible metal band. 158 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:19.120 I was dating this girl at the time, and she 159 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:21.600 had been dropping some not so subtle hints that she 160 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:25.399 was ready to take things further. One day, during band practice, 161 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:27.959 a few of the guys decided to take a break, 162 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.920 light up some weed, and head across the street to 163 00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.919 toss around a football. I told them I'd stay behind 164 00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.399 and chill in the basement with her, not because I 165 00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:39.600 had some master plan, but mostly because I had zero 166 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.080 interest in throwing a football. 167 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:42.159 As they were. 168 00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:45.399 Leaving, my drummer casually told me he had a monster 169 00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:47.960 energy box stashed in the corner with rubbers in it. 170 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.679 My brother, who played bass, in the band looked back 171 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:54.960 at me and said, make me proud. We all laughed 172 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:58.039 and they headed out. So we start sitting on the 173 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.919 couch watching sixteen and Pregnant of all things. She turns 174 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.919 to me with a sly grin and says, don't you 175 00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:07.600 want to make your brother proud? At that point, I 176 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:10.960 practically leapt off the couch, ran to the monster box 177 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.440 and pulled out a rubber thought I ripped it, so 178 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:17.080 I tossed it and grabbed another same thing. By the 179 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.399 time we actually started, there were a couple failed attempts 180 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:23.559 on the floor, like weird little trophies. We'd just gotten 181 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.600 going mid action in my drummer's bed, mind you, when 182 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:29.159 the door suddenly opens and the whole band walks in. 183 00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:32.480 My drummer absolutely lost it. I yelled at them to 184 00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:34.480 get out, but the moment was kind of wrecked. At 185 00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.000 that point, we didn't get to finish, and to top 186 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.279 it all off, a few of the guys wouldn't stop 187 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:43.720 making jokes about my jiggling cheeks afterward. Story six. Once 188 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:47.000 upon a time I was a closeted lesbian. My friends 189 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.279 and I used to go into our rural walmart in 190 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:51.200 the middle of the night to steal beer. When we 191 00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:55.200 were eighteen, we usually just pocketed like one two each 192 00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:59.000 and walked out. One night, around two am, we headed 193 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:01.840 to Walmart to do the usual. We were passing through 194 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.399 the toy section to head towards the beer in the back, 195 00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:07.799 and we rounded a corner and saw Ben. Ben was 196 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:10.519 in his early twenties. He had a two foot tall 197 00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:14.039 mohawk that I later learned was held up by Elmer's glue. 198 00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:16.759 He was riding a pink tricycle down the aisle as 199 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:19.679 an employee followed him, trying to get him to stop 200 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:22.279 and put the bike back. We all laughed at him, 201 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:25.480 and my buddy struck up a conversation. It came to 202 00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.159 Ben's attention that we were there to steal beer. He 203 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.440 told us he would help. Sweet He grabbed a cart 204 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:34.080 and proceeded to put an entire thirty pack onto the 205 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:36.639 bottom of the cart. We thought he was being cool 206 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:38.720 and was going to buy all of that for us, 207 00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:41.360 but no, he just wheeled that cart right out into 208 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:44.159 the parking lot to my friend's car. Now, at the 209 00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:46.919 time I knew I was interested in women, but I 210 00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:49.600 was still trying really hard to make friends and family 211 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.240 believe I was straight. I decided that if I had 212 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:54.559 to have a man, this was the guy for me. 213 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:58.519 I started flirting and got his number. Next weekend, a 214 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.679 friend down in Jacksonville was having a party. My best 215 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:04.360 friend said we should go, and that she was bringing 216 00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:06.840 her boyfriend, Philip, and that they were going to do 217 00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:08.919 it for the first time the night of the party. 218 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:12.919 My entire puberty thus far, i'd been following my best 219 00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:16.080 friend's cues. I got my first boyfriend when she did, 220 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:19.279 I kissed a boy the same time she did, etc. 221 00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:23.159 So I figured, well, crap, okay, I guess it's time 222 00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:26.279 to lose my V card now too. I invited Ben 223 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.080 and we went down to Florida. Turns out the only 224 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:32.039 private place to do the deed was one bedroom. My 225 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:34.600 best friend and I lost our V card together in 226 00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:35.360 the same bed. 227 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:36.120 LMAO. 228 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.240 Long story short. Ben is actually a really nice and 229 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:43.679 intuitive guy. He asked me later why I seemed uncomfortable. 230 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.200 I admitted I was gay. He was one of the 231 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:48.799 first people I was honest about it with. I am 232 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:51.279 now married to a woman, and Ben and I still 233 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:55.879 keep in touch almost twenty years later. Story seven. I 234 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.000 used to be pretty clueless when it came to women. 235 00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:00.919 I became friends with one of my coworkers who was 236 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.759 a total ladies man. He took it upon himself to 237 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.279 coach me. Not that I got much better, but at 238 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:09.919 least I felt less anxious. Helping me lose my virginity 239 00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:13.200 basically became his personal mission. He set me up with 240 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.360 two of his friends, but let's just say my guy 241 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:17.840 couldn't rise to the occasion. 242 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:19.679 That was news to me at the. 243 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:22.919 Time, but I later learned it's actually not that uncommon, 244 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:27.159 especially when you're nervous. A few months went by, I 245 00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:30.960 started going on regular dates, but still nothing. Then he 246 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:34.519 introduced me to a third friend, someone I hadn't met before. 247 00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.480 I got her number, set up a time to hang out, 248 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:40.919 and drove over nerves kicking in hard. She met me 249 00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.480 at the door, took me to her room, and we 250 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.120 sat on the bed. We barely exchanged more than a 251 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:49.039 couple of sentences before we started making out. I was 252 00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:52.000 still unsure, worried that things might go the same way 253 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:55.600 as before, but things progressed. We did it and then 254 00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:58.879 just laid there cuddling for a bit. Afterward. It honestly 255 00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.879 felt like turning eight you don't really feel any different 256 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.480 in the moment, but after it sinks in, you get 257 00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:06.840 that big man on campus vibe for a few days 258 00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:09.919 before everything goes back to normal. For me, once the 259 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:14.000 whole thing was demystified, it became way less nerve wracking, 260 00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:17.639 and I learned fast how important communication is with your partner. 261 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:21.559 I was lucky. She was really kind and patient. Apparently 262 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:23.480 my friend had told her it had been a while 263 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:26.000 for me, so she assumed I'd just been out of 264 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.240 the game for a bit. She had no idea it 265 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.159 was my first time. Afterwards, she told me I did 266 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:34.279 really well for someone getting back into it. Looking back, 267 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.279 I'm pretty sure she was just being nice, but it 268 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:42.200 helped my confidence a lot. Overall, pretty decent experience, I said, 269 00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:46.320 say story eight. I made myself a promise I wouldn't 270 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.240 risk having a kid until I had a job that 271 00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:50.919 paid enough to actually support one. As soon as I 272 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:53.720 turned eighteen, I went straight into construction. 273 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:55.000 Where I live. 274 00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:57.840 You can survive on about fifteen dollars an hour if 275 00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:59.799 you're not in the big cities, or if you don't 276 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:03.279 mind the occasional crackhead neighbor. I was making fourteen dollars 277 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:06.000 an hour, but pulling over fifty hours a week, so 278 00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:09.120 I figured I was close enough. I called up my buddy, 279 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.759 told him I was ready. He called up a girl 280 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:14.159 he knew, and the next thing I knew, we were 281 00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:16.120 going at it in the cab of his truck while 282 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:19.039 he sat on the tailgate drinking a beer. He didn't 283 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:21.879 even finish his first one before we were done. He 284 00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:24.600 just shook his head and said, I stomped drinking at 285 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:27.559 least three, so you stump, might as well keep trying. 286 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:30.600 Next month, that same guy is going to be the 287 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.960 best man at my wedding. Story nine. I was on 288 00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:36.720 a high school exchange trip, staying in a small town 289 00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:39.320 in Spain. One night, we went to a disco with 290 00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:41.639 the host kids, and I was hanging out with one 291 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:44.080 of the Spanish girls I'd been crushing on, but I 292 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:46.519 was way too nervous to even try dancing with her. 293 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:50.279 While we were chatting, a guy around our age, maybe 294 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:53.039 a year or two older, came over and started talking 295 00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:56.759 to us. My Spanish was pretty terrible, thanks high school 296 00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:59.799 Spanish classes, but from what I could tell, he was 297 00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:02.720 in interested in talking to an American and was using 298 00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.159 the little English he knew the girl was trying to 299 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:08.279 translate for us, and although her English was pretty good, 300 00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:11.159 she was struggling a bit. Still, we were having a 301 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.759 good time, and after a while he offered to go 302 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.600 grab a round of drinks while he was gone. She 303 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:19.559 nervously stammered, trying to fill me in on what I'd 304 00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:22.720 missed during their conversation. It turned out he was actually 305 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:25.399 hitting on me, and she'd been hesitant to tell me 306 00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:28.240 because she wasn't sure how I'd react. This was the 307 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.480 mid eighties, and since I was American, she thought I 308 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:33.480 might get really mad and want to beat him up. 309 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:36.480 I just laughed and kept reassuring her that it didn't 310 00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:39.320 bother me at all. When he came back, I thanked 311 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:41.399 him for the drinks and asked her to translate if 312 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:44.000 he didn't understand what I was saying. I told him 313 00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:47.200 I was flattered, but that I'm straight. I also offered 314 00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:49.799 to buy the next round, but he refused, saying I 315 00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:52.879 was a guest. We chatted a little longer while we drank, 316 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:56.279 then he said goodbye, and I thanked him again. After 317 00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:59.600 he walked away, she looked at me, clearly confused, and 318 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:02.039 asked why it didn't bother me. I told her I 319 00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:04.120 had a friend who was gay and that I was 320 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:06.919 probably the only person he'd ever come out to. Then 321 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.320 I added, honestly, I was surprised he thought I was 322 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:11.720 cute enough to talk to like that, which made her laugh. 323 00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:15.279 She called me silly, grabbed my hand, and dragged me 324 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.200 out onto the dance floor. We danced for a while, 325 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:20.360 and when I tried to tell her I wasn't really 326 00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:23.960 into dancing, she just made me dance even more. Finally, 327 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:26.279 I said I wanted to get another drink, and as 328 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:29.120 we headed to the bar, I awkwardly admitted that I 329 00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:32.159 needed to hit the bathroom first. She was waiting for 330 00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:34.919 me when I came out of the bathroom and suggested 331 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:37.759 we go somewhere else for a drink since the disco 332 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:40.960 was charging way too much. Taking my hand as we walked, 333 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:43.559 she told me she needed to stop by her older 334 00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:45.279 sister's apartment to grab something. 335 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:45.840 On the way. 336 00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:50.360 I agreed, and once we were inside, she basically pounced 337 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:53.519 on me. I mentioned her sister, but she assured me 338 00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:56.240 her sister was working and that we were alone. 339 00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:57.639 We ended up on the. 340 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:01.799 Sofa making out heavily, and she noticed I was visibly excited. 341 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:05.400 As she reached down. I nervously stammered that I'd never 342 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:08.559 done this before. She gave me a smirk that basically 343 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.319 said no kidding, then gave me my first blowy. Needless 344 00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:15.799 to say, I didn't last long. Somehow during all that, 345 00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:19.480 I managed to take her shirt off. When she was done, 346 00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:21.880 I asked if she wanted me to return the favor, 347 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:24.920 and the look of surprise on her face was priceless. 348 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:27.839 She told me she'd never had that before, but was 349 00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:31.559 definitely interested in trying. I admitted I'd never done it either, 350 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:35.079 que another no kidding smirk, and hoped I'd be okay. 351 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:38.599 Relying on all the skills I'd picked up from watching corn, 352 00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:41.559 I went to work. I figured I was doing all 353 00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:44.359 right when she practically crushed my head with her legs. 354 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:47.880 After she caught her breath, she looked down and smiled 355 00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:50.559 when she saw I was ready again. She told me 356 00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:53.640 she'd only had been intimate once before, most of this 357 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:57.000 was communicated through a mix of pigeon English and Spanish, 358 00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:59.640 and didn't realize a guy could be ready that quickly. 359 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.079 I told her, neither did I, and she laughed. She 360 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:05.599 grabbed our clothes, and I thought it was time to 361 00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:08.640 get dressed, but instead she walked down the hall and 362 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:11.759 led me to a small bedroom. She tossed our clothes 363 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.079 inside and pointed to the bed. I went over and 364 00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.920 she stepped away. Then she came back with a triumphant smile. 365 00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:21.960 It turned out she'd rated her sister's room for rubber 366 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:25.119 after figuring out how to put one on. That's when 367 00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:29.000 I officially lost my v card. Story ten. I was 368 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:32.319 eighteen and he was nineteen. We worked together and I 369 00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:35.079 had a huge crush on him. One Friday night, I 370 00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:37.440 ran into him while I was out and we ended 371 00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:40.440 up going back to his place. Things started getting hot 372 00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:43.640 and heavy, and at one point I excused myself to pee. 373 00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:47.559 I vividly remember sitting on the toilet, thinking, oh my god, 374 00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:50.640 it's about to happen. I'm about to lose my v card. 375 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:54.279 I went back to his room, and well, it happened. 376 00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:56.720 He hadn't believed me when I said I was a 377 00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:59.759 virgin until he encountered a bit more resistance than he 378 00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:03.519 would expecting. He was generously endowed, not that I had 379 00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:05.799 anything to compare it to at the time, and I 380 00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:08.559 ended up sore and bleeding for a couple of days. 381 00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:12.319 The next day at work, he completely ignored me. I 382 00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:15.079 even overheard him mocking my inexperience to one of the 383 00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:20.039 other guys. I felt awful, embarrassed, and small. It definitely 384 00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:23.200 hit my confidence hard, but luckily it was just my 385 00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:26.680 pride that got bruised, not my heart. He didn't deserve 386 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:29.680 to be number one on my list. Fast forward to 387 00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:32.319 when I was about twenty four, I bumped into him again. 388 00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:35.720 This time I invited him back to my place. It 389 00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:39.039 was one hundred percent an ego move. I wanted him 390 00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:41.240 to want me to see what I'd learned in the 391 00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:44.519 years since we hooked up, and afterward he asked if 392 00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:47.559 he could see me again. I told him no, never 393 00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:51.559 saw him again. That was twenty years ago. Story eleven. 394 00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:55.319 I was eighteen dating the twenty five year old. He 395 00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:57.559 picked me up during my thirty minute lunch break for 396 00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:01.880 my first job at Walgreens. We drove back to his place, banged, 397 00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:05.119 and then he dropped me off like nothing happened. I 398 00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:08.160 went straight back behind the register and tried to act 399 00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:10.839 like everything was normal. When I got home that night, 400 00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:14.279 I cried. At the time, I didn't really register how 401 00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:16.960
