Girls: Loosing your Virginity?

How old be you when you lost your virginity and how has that artificial your sex life? Was it forced or voluntary and did it own a negative or a positive effect on you presently? Thank you! I lost my virginity very childlike following sustained sexual mistreatment as a child. I used sex as a method of self harm for oodles years. In my head sex be my punishment for being dirty and making these populace do these things to me.
When I was doing these things my Mum told me that sex be crap if is was not beside someone you loved. I laughed at her afterwards but now blissfully married can confirm it is totally true but some how it is not half as key any more.
i was 17...that sh*t open me up to a whole unmarked world lol...we did it cause I required to. Id say presently it has a positive effect on me because I know alot in a minute that i didnt then, but luckily i havent caught any existence threatening diseases or anything. But my experience has qualified me alot, as well as relationships falling into it...
