I literally did the same thing just for a different reason. Was in a 4 year, shitty relationship (cheated on me all the time) when I was in high school (literally from freshmen year, to a couple of weeks after my senior graduation) and the sex was horrible. Lost my virginity to him and just assumed sex was supposed to be shitty for me, but great for guys.

Maybe a month after breaking up, my friend convinced me I needed to fuck someone else to get over him and to prove to me that it’ll be different with someone else. Wellll, I found someone. I initiated sex with this person. It was amazing. I became a sex fiend. Had sex with maybe 30+ people that year also (always protected, and getting checked regularly. thanks insurance!!) I don’t regret it. It was a fun year. I’ve learned so much about what I want and also how to please others and make it enjoyable for both of us. I’ve met some great people along the way and now I’m in a very committed relationship and my boyfriend says I’m like his personal little porn star. [we both were slutty before we met, actually liked each other, waited a few months before we got sexual, now been together for a little over a year and head over heels for each other] he knows I have a past but has never asked me about numbers nor does he care. He’s just happy I know the things I know and do the things I do.
