9. I'm a generic geek
Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 01:16 PM by slackmaster
Used to have a job as a Generic Engineer.

Then I did eight years as a Reverse Engineer.

Yes, I have a BS in psych, mostly experimental stuff. I excelled in stats but have forgotten most of it. Knowing the general principles of experimental design and analysis sure helps wade through a lot of the BS that's presented as meaningful data.

I would expect the results here to look very similar to a "How old are you?" poll, with the numbers shifted up by roughly 16-18 years. (Some lose it earlier and some later, but those differences would tend to cancel each other out IMO.)

26. 17, sort of
the nice 40-something neighbor lady broke me in... gave me a good spanking, taught me how to give oral sex, and gave me a HJ.

For the "Real deal", I was 18.

The drunkest I have ever been in my life was on my 15th birthday.

17. *snort*
I'm kinda pagan-friendly so I tend to think of it as a lovely Imbolc present...but I'm sure there are all sorts of jokes to be made about things coming out and seeing their shadow. ;)

21. Honey!!!
Get thee to a partner and knock some boots!
It's loads of fun.

Unless you are completely unfortuate looking or you just don't have the working parts to do it with, I'm sure there has got to be someone who'd want to "DO IT" with ya.

44. I remember a couple of years ago...
Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 06:06 PM by coloradodem2004
...there was this woman who would not leave me alone. The problem is, she was repugnant. She was obnoxious and it seemed like she wanted to run my life. She seemed like she wanted to control me. All my other guy friends said, you may as well go for it. But like I said, I couldn't stand her and If I did, I know that she is the type that would have thought that she owned me at that point. I know that I couldn't let that ever happen. I told her off and she left me alone. My point is, yes it would seem that there are people that would want to do it with me. But, it would seem to be people that I don't like for one reason or another. It is almost so bad that if I had to choose between sex with them and no sex, I would choose no sex. It also sends the message to me that I'm not good enough to be with someone that is cool, if nothing else, it always has to be someone who is just a big bitch or whatever. Screw that shit. :grr:

Edited on Wed Mar-31-04 04:09 PM by redqueen
I lost mine at 16 and really wish I hadn't. (well, technically much MUCH earlier, but 16 was voluntary)

Please don't beat yourself up for not giving it away.

And this all happened a long, long time ago on a continent far, far away (alright, Scotland)

So, I may have inadvertently outed myself here.

36. 23 years ago...and I wish I would've waited!!
Why didn't anyone tell me that it would have been 'better' if I would have waited?? We were all in a rush to see what 'it' was like!

(front seat of a rebuilt '57 Chevy...and he was MUCH older than me!)
