My greatest sexual regret
WAKING up next to a person you barely know, agreeing to attempt or do something you don’t like, or even being with the wrong person for too long can lead to loads of regret — regret that often leaves you with pictures etched in your memory that you wish you could permanently erase.
What has been your greatest sexual regret? Here is what some readers had to say:
Jody- Ann:
We were together for two years, and he was ready to get physical but I wasn’t. He was already sexually active and he said that he could no longer wait for me. I had just turned 18 but I don’t believe I was psychologically ready. It was a scary experience. The pleasure, the chemical connection, and the connection of our spirits that was supposed to happen during this encounter, did not happen. All I felt was pain, the shell of my innocence breaking away. We broke up less than eight months later. I wish I had waited, especially after realising the horrible person that he turned out to be.
Rohan:
I wished that I hadn’t given in to my girlfriend’s friend. To be honest, my girlfriend is my world. She supports me in all that I do and I am mad about it because every day I wish that I was drunk because maybe then I would have had an excuse. While my girlfriend decided to stay with me, I think about what I put her through for sex that I didn’t even need.
Royenne:
Love can make you do silly things and sometimes when you love someone too much you end up sacrificing yourself for them. For months my boyfriend and I tried new techniques in the bedroom, and then one day the topic of a threesome came up. Of course I should have picked up that he didn’t love me anymore when he wanted to share me with his friend. I agreed weeks later because he said we needed to try everything before marriage. I brought my morals to the slaughterhouse; I pretended I didn’t mind, I even threw in a piece of the sexy part of me. That threesome was not just the death of my relationship, but the beginning of several scandalous years. At the end of the day I will never agree to do anything again that I don’t want.
Julie:
I made the silliest decision of my life when I decided to hook up with my co-worker. We were working together for a while and we liked each other. One weekend work took us out of town and our company booked us rooms in a resort. We were in my room until very late. I don’t believe in workplace relationships and when I refused, he told half the staff that we slept together. I had to make the tough decision to leave my job of eight years, not because I was ashamed, but because I was afraid of what I would do to that half of a man.
Glen:
My friends and I went to a party and everyone had a dance partner. I became a little intoxicated, but not in a way that I lost my senses. I offered to take her home, and while on the road she proceeded to go down on me. I stopped the car on the side of the road and had sex with her. Not only was I stupid for cheating on my girl, but I also disrespected her by taking home crabs. She is a faithful girl and while I deserved my itching and discomfort, she didn’t, and knowing I could have taken home something worse kills me.
