I should add the reason why I think people should just pick their own milestones to set that marker at is this:

I never said that gay sexuality is an add-on to straight sexuality.

So I realize much of our culture thinks that high school kids having sex is just the worst thing that can possibly happen, but thank the god I don't believe in that my first sexual experiences were with my high school boyfriend who loved and respected me and not those horny little mouth breathers who lived in my…

I think I was 16, but I might have just turned 17. I remember who it was with. I remember where it was. I remember that it was actually kind of nice. Specific details, other events of the day are lost to me.
