People of reddit who lost their virginity later on in life rather than in your teens, whether through lack of chance or interest or religious reasons, when you did have sex what was your view on the experience and sex on the whole?

27 with a friend of my mom who was in her early-50s. I was very happy because sex felt so much better than masturbating, I performed well, and the experience was much more simple than I had worried about. She was a very sweet and gentle woman who made the whole experience as nurturing as first time sex can be, I guess. I did feel disappointed because afterwards I felt no different than before, nothing had really changed for me as a person. I also felt sad at all the years I had wasted and anxiety I went through over what was a basic function. Sort of like... Nice, but that's it? So I guess happiness and relief, but also being underwhelmed and disappointed with myself.
