Everybody remembers the first time they had sex, but do we all remember the first time we had sex…solo?

It’s pretty much never an elegant or beautiful story. It’s weird. It’s awkward. It can be nice in the contexts of self-discover or coming of age, but in general, it’s just a big embarrassing…erm…mess.

So, let’s look back on it (fondly?) with these real anonymous stories from people about their first times.

Our bodies know these things before our brains do.
