It changed me in several ways. I lost a lot of my naive idealism, which was a good thing. It simplified my life by putting an end to thinking too much about when, where, and with whom to do it with the first time. It made me feel like I had more in common with my peers. And it made me want to have more sex, as soon as possible, even if it had to be with a different guy (it did).
A woman gives up her virginity=she loses something. A man gives up his virginity=He gains something. Odd.
I`ve never lost mine, but I feel like it would change...... wouldn`t it make you love that person & have an attachment to them in some way or another? Depends on who it is... I guess.
