When I was younger, all my friends had already had sex before I had. So, I was determined to lose my virginity before I entered high school (yes, I know, I was 14, and that was pretty young). I wound up staying with my first for about 19 months, but we were young. Neither of us was truly ready to commit, but neither wanted to see the other with someone else. I ended up dumping him because I couldn't stand being lied to anymore. I'd definitely say my standards went down after that. I've had a couple long term relationships since then (the one I'm in now has been over 3 years), but I found that after each long term one ended, I tended to get the urge to "sow my wild oats". After the first one I did realize that sex doesn't have to be accompanied by a bunch of emotions. I'm still very good friends with my first and I don't regret losing it to him, or even the age at which I lost it.
