I've never shared this ... mostly because it reflects very, very poorly on me.
The night I lost my 18 year old virginity, I was just planning/hoping to hit a solid double and maybe even get balked over to third. I had no intention of hitting for the cycle. After all, I'd just met the girl. I didn't even know her last name.
But not being a mormon girl, much less a 1963 era 'good girl', she never said a word or made any indication that I should stop. There was no third base coach with his arms raised!
As I was hustling around the bases and then made that final slide into home, I never once thought about 'sin' or 'consequences'. But then when I stood up, to the sound of the crowd cheering wildly, and dusted myself off, it hit me. And I swear, I felt as if I was being hosed with shame, and I heard the sound of the fabric of heaven renting, and I heard angels wailing. My mind was filled with these sounds and images. It was very real at the time. As was the drenching guilt!
All I could do at that point, with this knowledge of my sexual cupidity and the resultant damage to my eternal soul, was to hastily, and I mean very hastily, get dressed and run out the door of her home. I was literally quaking with fear of the wrath of ghawd that would surely befall me, but I managed to climb into my car and pull away from the curb.
I was about 20 minutes from home. But 15 minutes later I made a U-turn... The guilt had subsided, and something had arisen to take its place. I sinned again that night and then two nights later.
What I really regret now is that I didn't lose my virginity to someone I knew and cared for. And of course that was at the behest of la iglesia mormona. My mormon G/F, local Las Vegas royalty, and I would never have considered it; one of us was always strong enough to say no. Or dumb enough.
When push comes to shove, without the third base coach, kids are going to go do what comes naturally.
Gosh, I feel so much better now! Thank you, Father RfM!
