I'm about to turn 18, and almost all my friends have lost their virginity. Shocking, right? I never would've guessed that my friends would lose it so young, but it is their choice and not mine. I have crippling pain during the week before and first 2 days of my period. My friends have told me that if I lose my virginity, I will have less pain. I don't masturbate so I don't know if they're right or not. Does anyone have an experience in which could help me?
