Drunken luck and there was nothing special about it. I wasn't very attractive at the time (on the scale of how ugly/ok looking I've been over the years) and it was down to being the more confident one of the group after some liquid courage. And to Aspie guys clinging to the myth it will change your life? It rarely does. If you're a strange, socially awkward, incoherent uncharming Aspie before sex, you will be exactly the same a couple of days after and will just have to wait your turn again. At best it will change your outlook after a couple of times.
This is so true. I'm female, but I don't think that makes that much difference. Having sex has never made me happier, or changed me in any way. It did not mean that establishing the kind of relationships I wanted came about more easily.
Even if you feel burdened by the stigma of being a virgin: 1. No one is going to know the difference: if you have sex, you can't exactly go around telling everyone about it anyway. You might tell a few friends, but they're not going to change their opinion of you.
2. The stigma will not go away. If you're susceptible to the pressure that you should be getting laid all the time, the pressure to have a "healthy" (i.e. regular) sex life, or the pressure to be in a relationship, then that pressure is still going to be there when you are not a virgin. Unless you are able to consistently establish the kind of relationship(s) you want, and are happy with the person you are, you'll still have problems. Focusing on losing your virginity in and of itself is missing the big picture.
