Losing your virginity is a big deal. It's not uncommon to have all sorts of romantic and exciting fantasies of how your first time will play out. But for most people, the reality is that their first time having sex was less than perfect. One reason may be that the average American loses their virginity at age 17, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). And, because this only represents heterosexual (penile/vaginal) intercourse, and the definition of "virginity" varies from individual to individual, the average age may be even younger.It makes sense that with lack of experience, nerves, and some pretty skewed views of what sex actually looks like, that people's first times are usually not so great or not what they expected. Reddit users shared some of their awkward, funny, and downright embarrassing stories about losing their virginity. Of course, these examples of first times are just for fun, as we can't independently authenticate the stories.1. It took seven attempts and 16 hours."My boyfriend is in the Navy and I still live with my parents, so when he had a free weekend we took advantage of the situation and booked a hotel together for the night. He put about 1/4 of himself in and I felt like I was getting stabbed with a piece of wood down there. We spent almost the whole night trying to get it in. Every time he would insert himself a little more and he'd have to pull out because it hurt me so much.It took about seven attempts and 16 hours to get him fully inside me. We both felt bad when we left because we left the room a mess. Blood on the sheets, condom wrappers everywhere, etc. but we didn't think to bring cash for tip." - Redditor xmuhhree2. They were caught by a cop."I drove like four hours and did it in the back of a car. We were caught by a cop and being 16, the cop called my parents. I had stolen my dad's car to get there. I had four hours of blue balls on a snowy interstate to figure out what my dad was going to do to me." - Anonymous redditor3. They got caught by a sibling ' and reacted poorly."Her brother walked in, and for some reason I quickly grabbed my phone and pretended I was texting. I didn't even think to cover up or hide or anything, I was just lying on my back fiddling with my phone while my girlfriend tried to rectify the situation. I always pretend to be texting or doing something on my phone when in an awkward situation, and because I'm a moron I guess I thought it would work then as well. Eugh." - Redditor HMacyFan4EvaSee the rest of the story at Business Insider
