FAQ:
What counts as loss of virginity?
The whole concept of virginity is pretty nebulous. Instead of drawing strict rules about what counts and what doesn’t, I trust that the participants will approach the subject in good faith. When in doubt, I encourage people to think about it from the character’s POV: how do they feel about it?
Some examples:
- Character A shares handjobs with Character B. The experience is meaningful and fulfilling for Character A and they count it as their first time. Character B also likes it, but their understanding of loss of virginity involves penetration, so they don’t count the encounter as their first time.
- A character is raped, and the act would be counted as “loss of virginity” in nearly every culture. However, since it was nonconsensual, the character doesn’t personally see it as their first time. Only much later, when they have consensual sex with a loving partner for the first time, they consider that as losing their virginity.
- A character loses their memory. They might have been very sexually active before the memory loss, but now they are effectively an inexperienced virgin.
And so on.
