Aijin Wrote:TrueBlue: You say that it's fine if sex hurts her and you have to call it quits...but wouldn't that ruin your ideal first time? Two minutes of awkward, painful thrusting followed by a, "let's not do this" isn't exactly the most magical of moments.I didn't say I'd call it quits, I said I'd stop doing anything that hurt her. Why is everyone jumping to shit on my goals? I knew it would be bad, but this is almost disappointing. I thought I was posting mostly to composed, polite adults, but there seems to be quite a few moody kids as well.
Aijin Wrote:I just fail to see why you have to have a virgin though. My first time was with another virgin, and I definitely understand that it feels great knowing that physical intimacy is something you've only shared with each other, but that didn't necessarily make it more meaningful than sex with other partners afterwards.Sorry, I do get to choose though, and this is the choice I make.
Aijin Wrote:I'm just saying, don't get your hopes up too high. I've met quite a few American guys who feel socially awkward, have difficulty finding the right girl in the states, etc, and think that if they just move to Japan a lot of girls will fawn over them, that their romance will be like all the blushing innocent, naïve anime romances they watch.Well those guys are foolish and delusional, as I hope my defense here has proved, I'm not.
I'm not by any means saying that you're like that, just that it's something I see often, and that it never works out well.
Aijin Wrote:Most marriages where an American guy goes to Japan and marries a Japanese girl, it's because the girl wants to live in the states and is using her husband as a means to it. That doesn't mean that their isn't affection involved, just that it happens a lot. It's much rarer for a girl to marry a westerner who wants to live in Japan with her.I'm not a Westerner, my father is Chinese and my mother is Japanese. I'm not caucasian.
Aijin Wrote:And unless you're wealthy, dashingly handsome, or have a superb personality, you might find some difficulty finding that 'ideal girl'.Then I won't have too much difficulty finding her. And she's not "ideal", she's just the girl I'm hoping for is all.
Aijin Wrote:I'm not saying it's impossible, as it definitely occurs, but you really need to not have such high expectations.I've been writing all along that I'm trying to moderate my expectations constantly. Some people don't expect great things from themselves, it sucks to be them, accepting defeat or giving up halfway. I don't want to be one of these people, and if crushing disappointments are a risk for expectations that energize my efforts, I accept that risk.
Jarvik7 Wrote:There is no reason for one's first sexual experience to be on a pedestal any more than one's first time eating mayonnaise.It's a construction like any set of ethics or beliefs, but it's a construction that motivates me towards my goals in life. Would you kill someone for 10 dollars if no-one but you would know you did it? Then your behavior has been influenced by your constructed values of how killing a person could or will make you feel. Don't knock constructions, they can build wonders and overthrow kingdoms.
The "importance" of it is entirely a socio-religious construction.

Jarvik7 Wrote:While I like to pretend in my head that my gf is a pure untouched flower, I'm glad that she isn't. Dealing with her awkwardness & shyness, and her not knowing what she wants (in a relationship, in a partner, in bed, etc) is a pain in the ass.Maybe for you, but different people have different preferences. I for one would not at all mind if a girl was awkward or shy or inexperienced.
Aijin Wrote:My first time was too painful, so we ended up just making jokes about it, laying in bed, and talking. It took a handful of times before we could both actually enjoy it and it became a physical and emotional pleasure.I'm very grateful for your honesty in this matter. I do acknowledge the possibilty of this happening as I've additionally read and heard of this. I'll try to learn as much as possible though, about the possible causes and any possible ameliorations to this. Her happiness is my number one concern, and I won't try to force anything.
Aijin Wrote:I mean, your first time can be an emotional experience, sure, but I don't see why it'd be more emotional than just being physically intimate with that person in different ways. Having oral sex, fingering, handjobs, dry humping...honestly, all of that will be more physically enjoyable than your first attempt at penetration. And because there's less pain, you can be more emotionally close to each other. Obviously later on penetration becomes better than those things though.Great point, I agree. And your last line is interesting, but it is true that there's many things other than penetration that can be enjoyable for couples.
Aijin Wrote:I'm just saying, there's no reason to treat penetration as anything more than what it is.I have to respectfully disagree here, for many reasons already stated. It is what it is, but what it is, is not so insignificant as many here make it out to be. My experience indicates to me having sex for the first time is a big step for most couples.

IceCream Wrote:its not really a risk, its a fact - its just not nice for girls 1st time.There are plenty of testimonies (the worthless ones that some here feel are a waste of time to read) wherein the girl had a very enjoyable first time. They prove an interesting and enlightening read, and I would encourage anyone here to check them out.
i think i said before, you can make it special, but not physically amazing...
Jarvik7 Wrote:Mayo is good in moderation. I never started eating it until I went to Japan. They love it there. They even use mayo as a salad dressing!I did not know that, and it shatters my whole image of Japan... too late to learn another language? They must have a phrase for "hold the mayo".
It's odd how the one making the most sexual jokes is a girl. My stereotypes, they're shattered!

Brittswimmer1y6 Wrote:The majority of these testimonies are in the negative yet you still hold onto the hope that you might be different.Because it's better to have no hope and just resign yourself to being just another meatsack? This isn't a vote, and it's no secret that for every talented, intelligent, well-meaning individual in society, there's more than a few who aren't.
