The author of TMI Tuesday has decided to end her reign, but we have decided to continue on, going back to the archives. We’re going to continue with 2012, even though it’s a day off since that was a leap year. So here we are with an archived set of questions.

TMI Tuesday: August 14, 2012

Posted on August 13, 2012 by TMI Tuesday blog

Thank you to ‘Rants from the Erotic Rogue‘ for this week’s TMI Tuesday.

Any Regrets?

Looking back on our lives, we can have a mix of reactions to the things we’ve done. When it comes to sex, our memories can color us with pride, fondness, nostalgia, indifference, or all too often, regret.

This week’s TMI Tuesday questions delve into things that people typically regret later in life. How much do you regret, if at all, any of the following?

1. Do you regret how you “lost” your virginity? If yes, why and to whom would you have preferred to have lost it?

Jayden: So, I’m going to preface this whole post with the fact that I don’t actually believe in regrets, but there are definitely stories to tell…

I was too young when I lost my virginity. Like, way too young. I was 11. It was my choice. It was just stupid. My neighbor was a good friend and I had a huge crush on him, and well, he was my first. I got VERY lucky that I never got an STD and I later found out I couldn’t have gotten pregnant anyway, but I was lucky I didn’t. My life could have turned out very differently, but I’m glad it turned out the way it did.

Richard: No, it was fine. I lost it to a good friend and there was no trauma.

2. Have you ever lived a moment in your life where you said “Yeah, I’m not going to ever tell anyone about that.” Describe that moment or incident.

Jayden: I’m sure I have. The things that come to mind would be bathroom accidents. Embarrassing!

Richard: I don’t think so. I’m an oversharerer.

3. Do you regret having acted on a sexual impulse? If yes, please describe.

Jayden: Yeah. When I was with my ex, we met a couple and fooled around. They were super awkward. We should have just said no thanks.

Richard: I got catfished once.

4. Do you regret not having had sex with someone who you could have had sex? If yes, would you do it over and have sex?

Jayden: Yes. I had a partner when I was younger and we both didn’t want to initiate sex because we didn’t want the other one to think we were just interested in sex. That was when I learned to just be honest about what I wanted. (And I don’t think it would have changed anything in our non-relationship anyway.)

Richard: Not really. I can only think of one time, and I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t have wound up being a healthy relationship.

5. Do you regret not having asked out or tried to hook up with someone you really liked out of fear of rejection only to later learn that person wanted you, too? If yes, please describe.

Jayden: Yes. I had twins who were both interested in me. I’m sure it wouldn’t have worked out, but I had to choose between them and I was stuck in non-decision. By the time I decided, they’d moved on.

Richard: I didn’t find out that they liked me, but I do think we would’ve been compatible. I worked at a summer camp and had a crush on a guy. Never made a move on him (tried to get him to make one on me). Years later, I find out that he was actually pretty subby, and we had a lot of similar kinks. Oh well.

6. Do you regret having done a particular sex act? If yes, please describe.

Jayden: I don’t think so. I can’t think of anything.

Richard: Nope. I’m pretty boring this week.

Bonus: Do you regret not having told someone you love them? Romantic, not familial or friendship love.

Jayden: Nah, I don’t think so. I’m pretty open about my feelings.

Richard: I don’t think so. If anything, I’m too prone to saying it.
