I'm just curious as to how many of us still have our "V" cards? (i.e. still a virgin) Are you happy you've waited, do you have any regrets? I'm 23, still have my V card, and have no regrets whatsoever since the one relationship I've had (lasted 14 months) didn't work out. Also, those of you who've lost your card, have you noticed a chance in your flow? Heavier, longer, etc?

I notice no difference in my flow between the time I was a virgin and becoming sexually active.

[achtungbaby.livejournal.com]

agreed. i havnt noticed any difference at all in 5 years. but sex does seem to ease cramps...alot.

I've read that it helps cramps since an orgasm really relaxes the muscles afterwards. I could be wrong though.

wow your font is extremely small.

but yeah, an orgasm does relax your muscles and make cramps go away for a while. but for me sex, even w/o climax, calms them down. no real reason why, but thats how it goes.

I'm more regular now.

Although, I'm also older. Hard to say what the reasoning is, especially as I've changed quite a lot since the beginning.

I started my period with no pain, fairly short, but irregular. I started getting cramps, ended up with cramps twice a month. (became sexually active in here somewhere) Moved on to being more regular and geting menstrual migraines.

Thankfully now I no longer get the headaches, but do cramp on the first day, and am pretty regular.

I'm still a virgin, and I plan to keep it that way until I'm married.

And no, it's for personal reasons, not religious.

same here, and for my own reasons as well. We're an endangered species :-)

No, no change in flow directly related to sexual activity that I've noticed. Mine have changed - they got heavier and more painful over the years, and now they've settled down to a routine I'm used to. I've always been regular as clockwork, thank goddess. I think changes are probably coincidental - people are probably going to lose their virginity a few years after starting their periods, and people are coming out of puberty and their periods are settling down to a regular pattern a few years after starting.

i'm 18 and still a virgin. no particular reason though. it just hasn't happened. most of my good friends are still virgins as well. one's almost 21 and still a card carrying member. we figure it'll happen when it does and don't feel any pressure to change that.

I still had my card until i was 22 - i lost it a week after last haloween, to be exact. My period got totally screwed up at the time, but is generally back on track now. Part of the messed-up bit was that being one or two days late went from being irritating to being a reason to worry and quaff large quantities of pennyroyal. I had several really heavy (and really painful) ones after breaking up with my boyfriend, and i interpreted those as nature's way of reassuring me that i wasn't pregnant.

I was one until I was 19 (and 4 months, to be exact). I also waited through a fairly unstable 14 month relationship because I knew that sleeping with him would be "settling" and I wanted to start that phase of my life without regrets. I hate to sound cheesy, but when I met my current bf I knew he was "the one." I knew I could trust him and share myself with him without any regrets, and I think that's really all you can ask for when considering taking that big leap into a physically intimate relationship.

But you probably knew all of that, and I'm sure that's what all the waiting is about! Let me just say that I'm glad I didn't let any previous interests bully me into anything that I wasn't ready for.

As far as regularity goes, I have become more regular since losing my virginity, but I've also recently turned 20 and I think it had more to do with growing up than having sex. I've also started using birth control in the last month or so, and you could say that's "due to being sexually active" but not directly related to the act itself.

my flow became lighter and more regular after i gave up the v-card (at 17), but that's because i started birth control at 18. took about a year to find the right bc for me, and my flow was all weird in there.
i've never really seen any correlation between my sexual activity and menstrual flow.
something odd i noticed last month, however... i've been having some spotting off and on the week before my period, but it stopped after having sex. and once the period is over, i sometimes have very light spotting for the last day. again, it totally disappeared after having sex.
btw, having the v-card is something to be proud of. it's not so common these days. just like i'm proud of never trying pot, even with all the pot-heads i used to hang out with. it just isn't what i wanted to do.

I still have mine :P

No change at all, though I do regret sleeping with the one and only guy I've had intercourse with. Wrong time, wrong partner, wrong reasons, and I was really young and phenomenally stupid. But eh, can't change the past. Can only change the future.
