> I actually had my first kiss when I was fifteen, and that was the extent of my sexual experimentation. It took years for me to get the courage to touch a man over his jeans, let alone below the belt.

>When I was sixteen, I had my first real boyfriend. Like teenagers do, we’d get a little handsy, and I let him guide me with intimacy. He was my only source of info for what guys liked, so when he instructed me how to give a handjob, I believed him.

First kiss as 15

Took me years to touch a guy below the belt

1 year later giving hand fist jobs

Checks math......

First kiss at fifteen, but I’d been in brief relationships since middle school lol. Didn’t super explain the timeline well, but the moral of the story is that I wasn’t experienced, was hesitant towards intimacy, and took my time getting to a place of confidence sexually. Hope that clears up my timeline a bit.

Usually when people say stuff like this they experience their first intimacy in their 20s at the earliest, not at 16, which is probably not uncommon at all for “first experiences”, and I would argue it’s still a bit early.

At 16 you're not allowed to watch porn (legally), but somehow it's too late for OP

You’re totally right. My explanation contained a lot of insecurity because of high-school pressure, so while I felt behind, I was on a level playing field with most teens exploring their sexuality. My bad lol

Slightly behind by european standards. But not by much.

Damn. What high school did you go to where kids were sexually active that young?

Over 50% have had sex by 16. Going by that and my childhood experience. I assume alot of teens try something around 12 to 14.

So yea, no intimacy by 16 is weird.

Its an easy google search mate.

Ps. Having looked at more recent numbers, the average has jumped to 17 years, with only like 30 something % doing it by 16 years. I was likely remebering numbers i looked up 10 years ago.

Och we all had to start somewhere. It's a funny anecdote, put it down to inexperience and tell the story at parties, move on. So so much more to discover.
