Aren't they opposite conditions?<br /><br /><b>Jim</b><br />I can't say that was <i>quite</i> my experience, but close enough for me to be able to relate to it. The million dollar questions, of course, are still <i>Was that it?</i> and <i>How do you know?</i> I always think it's like religious experience - or like the lad who saves up all his pennies for one big firework on November 5th, but then it doesn't do what everyone told him it would do, and he's disappointed. But why should it? Why should everyone's spectacular be the same? Your finaltwo sentences put it into context, I think.<br /><br /><b>jane</b><br />I'm a real devil for unanswerable questions!<br /><br /><b>Brian</b><br />You are obviously a much faster learner than I am!<br /><br /><b>Leatherdykeuk</b><br />Ah, indeed, but I feel very affectionately towards tat fumbly first!<br /><br /><b>Eileen</b><br />I can't go quite that far, but was brought up <i>very</i> high Church of England - Catholic in all but name. Thanks for that, it does throw a different shade on to it.<br /><br /><b>sunny</b><br />Perfectly fine. One posts when one can. I don't promise to post daily for ever.<br /><br /><b>ArtistUnplugged</b><br />What can I say? Sorry? Hope it didn't blight your morning too much.<br /><br /><b>Isabel</b><br />Good analogy. Like it! Needs a great leap of the imagination to make the comparison, of course - but that might be no bad thing.<br /><br /><b>Hannah</b><br />Yes and no. It didn't start out that way. It was going to be a very light, flippant thing, but then I thought of the group in school. Not my school. Top Primary (11 year olds) next door. They were having this sex education film. I was asked to watch with a group and answer their questions afterwards. The thinking was that they would speak more freely to a teacher they didn't know than to one of their own. So it proved. Once one boy (they were all boys and the film was about boys maturing into men) had asked the question, it became the only question. There was real angst there. (It wasn't a formal session, they didn't need to raise hands.)<br /><br /><b>Weaver</b><br />Mine were literally birds and bees. Anything I learnt from an adult came - informally - from the music teacher. (Appropriate, or what?)<br /><br /><b>Helen</b><br />Very many thanks for both comments.<br /><br /><b>Mary</b><br />I think that may well be right, given the word "initially".<br /><br /><b>Tabor</b><br />Very.

There are a lot of things in this life that I can’t remember, things I ought to be able to remember, but the first time I had sex is not one of them and I especially recall what my first thought afterwards was: <i>Well that was very nice, but was that it?</i>. And that is <i>still</i> pretty much how I feel about it. Beforehand I had read everything I could lay my hands on and listened to what my friends had to say on the subject and from what I could glean this was going to be like nothing I had ever experienced. And it was. And it was very nice. Worth doing again. But you’re right, it doesn’t feel like anything else. Then, of course, you realise there’s a difference between having sex and making love. Now <i>that</i> was an eye-opener.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-32266835806495162832011-10-11T09:46:57.726+01:002011-10-11T09:46:57.726+01:00Nice Dave!
