At Catamorphism's suggestion

[Poll #436547]

Following on from the "When should people first have sex?" question, she suggested that we might want to know when people actually did.

And I'm looking for _consensual_ sex. When did you first _choose_ to have sex?

First, define sex.

Shan't. Far too loaded. I'm sure that at some point you felt like you were ready to 'have sex' and had the opportunity to carry it forward. It's that moment of choice that I'm really interested in.

Can't answer the poll, then. It's a different answer depending on which definition of sex you are using.

I decided to go with Bill Clinton's apparent definition.

[cangetmad.livejournal.com]

But he's asking you to use your definition. Don't you have one?

[yonmei.livejournal.com]

Don't you have one?

Yes.

Are you saying there _wasn't_ a point where you felt ready for sex and then engaged in it? I'm slightly at a loss, and would appreciate an explanation (althought obviously if you don't feel like explaining your formative sexual experiences I understand entirely).

No, that's not what I'm saying.

[andrewducker]

In that case you know the moment I'm asking about. So what's the problem?

What makes you think there was just one moment?

[andrewducker]

I did say "first" in the question.

Ah, but now we're back to "how do you define sex"? (And of course, I have no intention (http://www.livejournal.com/users/yonmei/2005/02/13/) of ever answering this poll...)
