I second this advice.
Although hormones and that vulnerability of "love" associated with it are really hard to fight for some, it is still possible.
@HakariI wish I was here when you posted this.
I would have told you that many people, in fact, feel that the first time they have sex with a stranger just feels awkward.
I lol'ed when you said that men don't last long the first time, and it's quite a letdown (insert the "don't care, still snu snu'd" here), because it was actually the opposite for me.
Still awkward though.
Yet, I don't regret it.
Sure it would have been nice if I could still hold on to that "purity", but believe me, it makes a great corny story to tell others, who you know had similar experiences.
You just have to look at it from a positive light.
So jealous you found someone to keep.
