I've always said the one time I regret having sex is the first time. I did it just to lose, to no one special. I don't think it was too soon or anything just not the right time.

No, definitely not. I was never one to make hasty decisions, and never let alcohol, pressure by a guy or by friends influence when I was or was not going to do something. Because of this, I have no regrets. I would like to say I am smart enough not to just go about doing things I consider serious in a willy-nilly manner.

That is just sad on so many levels.

I wouldn't change anything at all. I was 19 (actually, it was on my nineteenth birthday, lol!) and I had waited not for marriage but for who I felt was the right person.

We were each others first, we're still together, and want to get married when we finish college in a couple years. I have no regrets about the way I lost my virginity. Before I did, in high school and stuff, there were a lot of times I felt like I must be the only virgin left on the earth (which was stupid, but one of my best friends was .. well, active to say the least, lol!), but I'm really glad I waited until I did.

Eh, kinda not really. I was waiting for marriage, but then you kind of go through things and realize that that kind of thing became unrealistic to me. I am proud of myself that I didn't lose my virginity in my teens. I waited till I was 21.

I lost mine at 17. I try not to live my life with regrets so I'm fine with it. =) But in a perfect world maybe I would have lost it to someone else.

I lost mine at 15 to someone that I was comfortable with so that I was not made fun of...of course I was ALWAYS made fun of for some reason or other so I really wish I had stood my ground and waited. I wanted to be in with the "crowd" and that is the big regret for me.

I'm not sure what she means about feeling better about herself...?

But anyway, I wouldn't change anything. I probably could have been smarter about it. I kind of settled for someone less than ideal at 19 (I just wanted to "get it over with") and I'd like to think that my current boyfriend was the one and only, but I was at least safe about it, and since it's far done and over with, no regrets.

No regrets at all. I was 17 and 5 years later, I'm still together with the same guy, who was my first and will hopefully remain the only one

No. I lost it early (13), but honestly, I never understood the big deal about the "first time" and just wanted to get it over with.

I never understood the big deal with the first time either, I was 14 and I don't regret it. I was with the guy for 3 years and even though he turned out to be a total jerk, at least I got the whole learning process done with him. (lol).

i am 19 and i am still a virgin. there have been times in the past were i almost gave in and had sex but i am glad i didn't. i am not waiting till i am married i am just waiting for the right guy.

I understand what you mean, Snookyx. To each his own, but I personally don't believe in waiting untill marriage. I do, however, believe in waiting for the right guy. That doesn't necessarily mean that he should be the one you'll spend the rest of your life with. But at the moment you choose to have sex with him, you should be able to completely trust him and feel that he's worth the honor

My first time was with my husband (future husband back then) at 17 years old. I don't regret it one bit. We hadn't been together long really (4 months or so) but we knew it was the real deal.

I don't really understand Brooke's ideology. I lost mine not too long before my 22nd birthday...I don't regret waiting at all.

I lost it at 14, and I don't regret it one bit. I was deeply in love, and it helped give me some adult views about sexuality. I come from a really conservative family, so this really helped me grow beyond that.

I actually lost it to a girl and not a boy. I spent most of my teens and early 20s figuring out my bisexuality before settling on men.

I'd also say that if you're gay or bi, it's a really good thing to start figuring things out earlier rather than later. Having such strong unexpressed emotions can really frak you up.

Wait...I don't get it. Is she saying that her *weight* problems were connected to her not having sex? What?!

It sounds like she just didn't have the confidence to be happy about herself; and that she needed someone to tell her she was pretty or to make love to her, as some kind of reassurance. Something like that?

Very bizarre statements by Brooke. I think she is trying to shed her "good girl" image but not sure why! Basically I think if you wait until you are out of your teens, you will enjoy it more. I think when you are too young, it's just too overwhelming and you really can't know what you want. Just my two cents though!

If I was Brooke I would have wished for a better understanding of myself not losing my virginity earlier.

I don't regret the time so much as the person. He was an a$$; but he and others like him helped me get my bullsh!t radar together pretty early which spared me a lot more heartache than I can count

What is this article about? It's kind of dumb she needs to explain why she lost her virginity so "late" in life.

Ughh, I was 15. Far too young to be having sex in my opinion. The guy was a jerk and it was on Valentine's day. Ick.

I waited until 21. Not with that guy anymore, but I am glad I waited as long as I did. It was the right time.

I was 14, felt ready, and wasn't damaged by the experience. I did, however, learn how powerful sex is in general- my boyfriend at the time became insanely clingy and emotionally needy and vulnerable afterward, and I actually broke up with him a month later.

Kind of odd.

I don't understand Brooke either. Generally, she does come across nonsensical to me.

As for me, no regrets.

well dang, Brooke, maybe your daughters will lose their virginity at an earlier age...12? 13?....maybe that would that make up for it.

I don't regret losing my virginity at the age of 19. However, I do regret who I lost it to. Ick.

I lost my v-card at seventeen, and although I'm not with the guy anymore, I'm glad I lost it to someone I cared about. He didn't pressure me or anything, and we stayed together for over two years.

i gave it up when i was 17. it wasn't traumatic, but the guy=yuck! i went thru a crazy phase after that and that is the part i regret. now that i am older, i wish i would have made better decisions, but eh...life's too short to regret mistakes you made 8 yrs ago. i definitely appreciate sex alot more now and i'm much more comfortable with my body than when i was 17-18-19.

I will have to read the whole Brooke article because this excerpt doesn't really make sense without more context. The logic of what she is trying to say is lost on me.

I thought Brooke's comment was in reference more to her fame than to her age... that she wished she had lost her virginity before she became so famous. ("I had the public and all this pressure....) But it's true that her comment about weight throws me off.

I lost mine at 17; the moment was right, the guy was right, and the first time was great. I don't think 17 is necessarily too young, but I regret that I went on to sleep with other guys while I was still in my teens. I think that's the main risk of starting young.

How old is this woman now and who honestly cares.

Fashion doll I agree with you, I'm 20 and still a virgin, I'm not waiting until I get married ('cause I don't believe in marriage) but I'm waiting for the right guy, sex is a big deal to me and I want to wait until I can find a guy I trust. I'm glad I didn't loss it in my teens, I think their is definitely and age to have sex and is not in your teens, 22 is a good age, at that age most people are college graduate, are more mature and are "ready" to deal with the consequences of sex.

25 and I married the man I lost my virginity to and whom lost his to me. I have no regrets about losing it "late" in life if that can even be called "late". We're both certainly making up for "lost" time.

I don't regret who I lost it to - I am still with him, after all! - I just seriously regret how it went down. We had actually intended on making it very special, and then one day it just happened, and it was really not. It also happened before we really understood each other, so there was a lot of painful miscommunication afterwards... I do wish I could do it over again. You have no idea how much.

i lost mine when i was 17 i did it just because i wanted to loose my virginity and back then i some how knew if i dont do it right now its not gonna happen for a couple of years, hell i was right im 22 now.

btw its weired how so many people have lost theirs in 17.

lost mine at 20 on my wedding night to my husband.. Glad I waited.. i'm now 25

In a way, I can imagine it being so romantic to have sex for the first time on your wedding night. But on the other hand, personally, I would be anxious that we wouldn't 'match' sexually. And I don't mean anatomically match. Just, you know, having different expectations and likings. Did any of the ladies who waited until marriage ever worried about that, or was that something you had talked about with your fiancees BEFORE your wedding day?

Waiting until marriage...25yo now. Why is 22 considered "old" to lose your virginity, it's not old at all? I hear a lot of that "getting it over with", What does that mean...you just reach a certain age and decide "i should be sexually active now" rather than just letting life happen. One of my friends "getting it over with" was having sex in a gym on mats during a summer camp...gross. She didn't want to "be the dork who entered college a virgin". What?! I think that the first time should be right time, right boy/man, right preparation and if takes til you're 22, who cares.

I was 17, I don't regret it. I think you just have to do it when you are emotionally and physically ready and it is with a guy that you care about. That seems like a really weird thing to say, to me. Why would you regret that? And who cares, anyway?

i was 20 when i lost mine, and i waited until i met the right person, a girl. when i was a teenager i wasn't mature enough to deal with the possible emotional and physical consequences of sex and i was still confused about my sexuality so i probably would've lost it to guy.

I was 14. I'd been with the boy fir a year and he was a virgin too. We stayed together for 3 years. I have no regrets. Starting early didn't mean my number is huge. I'm 28 now and have only slept with 6 men and am hoping this one will be my last "notch in the bedpost"

I certainly dont have any regrets. To be honest i dont really remember much about my first time. It certainly wasn't life changing anyway.

I guess we all get there at different times in our lives. The background to this article is that Brooke was a very vocal "virgin" when she was about 16 (like some other celebrites). Many of them go on to regret bringing up such a personal issue in public, especially since they are judged so closely. The rumour is that she lost her virginity to Dean Cain at College.

I was 18 and I don't regret it. I admit that I didn't wait long into the relationship, and I always swore that I was waiting until marriage, but when I found him, I knew he was different than others guys I had met. We've been together for almost 4 1/2 years now and plan on getting married

i waited until marriage [at 21 years old]. i have no regrets~ and i am especially glad i wated until marriage. i had plenty of opportunities to blow it earlier than that but i restrained myself and saved myself for my husband. i dont necessarily think that the "first time" is significantly important, rather i think once you have found the person you are going to spend the rest of your life, you can rest assured that you have not given yourself away to anyone before him. something about being married and knowing that some other guy [or guys] are roaming the earth having had that intimacy with you... it just seems unpleasant to me. its like all those guys would have gotten the "goods" for free, and i would like to thikn my "goods" are worth more than that.

Lost mine at 24...everything was perfect. Madly in love with the guy, who was a bit older and very sensitive to what a big deal it was, so he was very tender and gentle, made sure I climaxed first, went slowly--it was totally magical and I don't regret it at all. Couldn't have hoped for better.
