I had never done anything sexual or romantic before, so I was extremely nervous. the following day, and I woke up early to prepare my room and my body. Because of this desire, I messaged this mystery man, who I correctly assumed to be another student, asking for a hookup and a picture of himself. Normally, I avoid people on dating apps if they don’t have any pictures for safety reasons, but in this particular moment, I wanted to lose my virginity based on unhealthy parameters I had set for myself. The day before, I went against my typical behavior and messaged a blank profile on Grindr.
I lost my virginity a couple of weeks before my 19th birthday.
