PROFILE
When it comes to sex, guys are different
from our fairer counterparts. I’m sure
most of you remember hearing the stories
from those “play-boys” from as young as 13
years old. There was always one guy in
class or one cousin or one friend who
seemed to have abundant experience with
the ladies, the guy who had done it all.
Yep that pretty much sums it up
really, at least for most young
men. From the time the first
hairs appear in strange places,
our voices start breaking and
girls start looking…different, we
know exactly what the birds and
the bees are all about. When
those first urges rear their head
all guys know exactly what they
want to do but for the most part
we have no idea how to go about
doing it.
I’ve talked to many of my friends,
all young men, about their first
times with a girl and they all tell
tales similar to the introduction.
Confusion, nerves, stress and a
surprisingly quick finish are the
most common themes, all of
which are doubled if the girl is a
first timer as well. But don’t
stress! This is all normal, and all
part of the process. Young man,
you have nothing to fear.
Odds are all his stories were complete lies
or retelling of stories from his older
brothers. When you consider the pressures
we were under back then it does make
sense. I mean, the sexual talk is
unavoidable among young men. We’re
socialized from that young to be all about
the booty, all about getting the hot girls
and doing the most with them. Where this
socialization originated is a debate for the
anthropologists and sociologists, but
whatever the origin, it permeates
unavoidably today.
I must admit though, these stories are not
very healthy. They do very little to actually
explain the nuances of sex, and even less
to prepare us for that first experience.
Now, if you’re reading this and you have
experiences already, think back on them:
Was your first time anything like you had
seen on TV or heard about from the gents?
Nope, probably not. If, however, you’re
reading this without experiences then
you’re lucky, I’m here to break the truth to
you, and it will definitely help out.
