14. Not in touch with him because he moved overseas a few years later and doesn't use social media, but we stayed friends until that happened. I married the second guy I slept with (at age 16) after college graduation.

I posted a while back that I was almost 21 when I lost my virginity. Definitely not religiously motivated! I was "friend zoned" by a lot of guys, starting very young, and going pretty much through college. I was totally fine with that for the most part, because it meant I could be myself and have fun with guys without potentially scary or negative outcomes. Of course, I found out from many of these friends--some of whom I had crushes on--years later that they had liked me, but didn't want to ruin our friendship. Ah well.

Fortunately, I slept with one of those friends when we were 23. (After having a couple of other relationships.) He proposed when we were 26, and we've been married for 10 years.

23 and now have been married to him for 20 years. I was not religious but very socially conservative.

Was 20, she was 18, we are FB friends married to other people. It was her first time as well.

16
and 31 years later, still friends, yes.

I'm genuinely surprised by the number of late-bloomers posting here.

Having sex later doesn't make one a late bloomer.

Unless it was for religious reasons I would say it's a good definition of late bloomer.

Different poster here:
As another who was religious at the time, it doesn't mean that I didn't date. I just didn't have sex with those dates until I was older.

19. At the time I was religious. Then I met my DW at 23, and we've been together ever since, but I'm no longer religious. Some things last, others fade.

Was your DH a virgin as well?


How long were you together when it happened?


How long have you guys been married?


Sorry for the personal questions- I'll be 32 this fall and I'm like you described yourself.

NP. One more data point for you. I was 31. Waited until I knew I was with "the one." Got married a few months later, and we've been married for 15 years. I wasn't a shy person like the PP, but I was waiting for the right person. My mom waited until she got married (albeit at 21), so I guess I just thought that was the right thing to do. We're not religious. Husband was not a virgin.

Ah, I waited for religious reasons, so I guess I was biased there. I wasn't a late bloomer.

18. Looking at kids now I think that I was pretty lucky 17-18 seems to be a real sweet spot for it. I really don't think of myself as a woman at 14 or 15. It was kind of that turning point age, which is nice.
