Did you lose your virginity in a hookup/casual sex encounter? Or know someone who did? What are your thoughts?

I’m a 25 year old virgin with little to no experience with men, dating or otherwise. Pursuing a relationship is more trouble than its worth right now and I’m honestly just bothered and want real experience.

Did you enjoy your first time? Did it change the way you felt about your partner? Do you wish it was someone different now? Is your first experience with a hot stranger exciting or stupid (given you’re both tested+safe)?
