Somehow, while reading this, I couldn’t help it but hear Madonna’s voice banging in my head: “Like a virgin … like a viiiirgin, like a virgin”. I was never a big fan of Madonna, maybe because my thing was prog rock in the 70s and New Wave in the 80s (Police, Dire Straits, …), yet …
… I liked the article, song in my head and all, and I know why. Even though I lost mine when I turned 20, I did not get to experience that sort of deliberate pleasure research until my late 40s. I think some of us, speaking for myself, and most of the handful of sex partners in my life, do not get the courage to lose inhibitions and do such “research” until reaching a certain maturity.
The silver lining is that, when it happens, it’s like losing our virginity! :-)
