If 18 year old you knew what you know now...

funny

funny how gullible I was at 18. Not just about sex, about my view of the world in general.

For one, I would be much more open minded!
I have been reflecting on how myopic I was in my youth. If I could turn back time... things would be a lot different. Alcohol, tobacco, pot, LSD (and other psychedelics) get pruned way back. Wouldn't have gone out of state to go to college. I would have been focused on an actual skill set that amounted to being able to make money, instead of the wasteful time studying psychology, and philosophy. They are worthwhile studies, though the academic ivory tower world doesn't much care about teaching applicable knowledge, but passing of tests.

Whew... oh sex. If I had been raised correctly, and not some feral, figure it out on your own, I would not have gotten into a relationship because it was sexually convenient while the woman I loved was unavailable. I have learned that pleasure and happiness are not interdependent.
 
I would definitely change things, when i was 18 i thought i knew everything, couldn't be told about anything, i got married under a year latter and now i wish i listened
Ha! Watching one of those now! It's frustrating watching them not listening to common sense.
Some of us can learn lessons the easy way, others can't...
 
If I knew then... She'd cum every time. Not just when she rode me like a true cowgirl.
 
My original idea for this thread was my wife saying she would forego the guilt that controlled her younger life and enjoy sex (and masturbation) when she was younger. I also thought 'big picture' and traits I would change in a theoretical 2nd chance.

But one night I was thinking back to a specific instance I would like to revisit. In college one night a few of us went skinny tubbing, and afterwards this girl 'JJ' and I went back to her apartment. We took a shower together before getting in bed, but as I was eagerly going down on her guilt took over. I apologized and went home wracked with guilt about my GF 2 hours away. I learned later she cheated on me many times, so I would love to go back and finish that night with JJ.
 
Lots of things as I was brought up restrictive religioius.
1. Get a vasectomy at 18
2. Loving anal isn't gay. It's huge fun. There are no forbidden parts of human anatomy.
3. BDSM is very liberating
4. If a woman acts poorly or seems damaged, I can't fix her. Nor should I try.

I had like four different times when I was over at a female friend's house when no other roommates of hers were at home, and they absolutely, unmistakably threw themselves at me. And I backed out because I knew they were fucking someone else.

Two of those, I knew they had a "boyfriend." The others, I didn't know at the time whether the guys I knew they saw were boyfriends or just uncommitted fuckbuddies.

At any rate, my attitude today is, fuck it, it's not me who's wrecking the home, there - if anyone who shouldn't know about it ever even finds out at all.

I'd go back and partake in every one of those past opportunities.

One of them, at the time I actually knew she was leaving for a move to the East Coast within just a few days and the boyfriend wasn't going with her.

Another one, I found out later that the guy I knew she was fucking wasn't a boyfriend but she had more than one fuckbuddy.

Another one, I stopped her to ask, "Hey, are you still seeing [fill in guy's name]?" When she said Yes, I bailed out. Today, I wouldn't even ask. She's throwing herself at me, yeah?

And the last one, later I found out it would have become a threesome, but by the time I found out, she and her bisexual boyfriend were broken up, and she wasn't considering sleeping with me anymore, with or without a third.
 
I had issues at 18. The usual ones you might expect from a Baptist Preachers son who truly believed the morality he was taught, but of course was in total conflict with his feelings AND what society was saying. But compounded by other issues. I would have done EVERYTHING differently if I had today's wisdom. That doesn't mean probably what you expect. Not more sex and relationships, fewer relationships... I would have been more likely to hold on to my first love, who couldn't stick with a guy that would never touch her, and then skip all the years when only drugs and alcohol loosened me up enough for the one night stands I could have done without. And I wouldn't have been so homophobic and probably let my bi buddy lead me into some experimentation.
 
I would have spent less time falling in love and more time enjoying sex for its own sake, with women and men. And I'd have told my wives I was bisexual, before we married.
 
I would slow down and fuck every girl that wanted me. I was so serious and focused, and the eldest, golden child. I was a HS/college athlete and scholar. Not bragging, just true. I was prudish and too careful. I was taught to stay pure and wait for marriage. Married young. Happy life and professional career. Recently retired, still in great physical shape, running, walking, good workouts, youthful in attitude. My Wifey and I have a great sex life, and I would like to explore with others before we leave this world. 😉
 
As an Indian who always thought monogamy was ultimate love, I would now go back and date as many women and have a lots of sex, at least before getting married.
 
Me personally, my earliest experiences were with long-time girl friends. I thought all girls wanted relationships first, and sex came later. As a result, I missed out on some fun short-term experiences early in college. If I could do it again I would want to know at a younger age that women enjoy 1nighters as well

Same here, though I'd probably have to go back way earlier to undo that damage.
 
Don't be so hard on yourself. You're not supposed to know anything at 18 years old. The people you are so desperate to make like you actually suck. Total hypocrites. Don't go to college. Start cleaning houses instead.

You're not going to hell for watching porn or touching yourself. Porn is fantasy, and those girls are faking it. You're not broke broken because you don't cum when a guy fucks you like you're his hand for 2 minutes and then blows his load.

Don't be scared. You're going to meet a great guy and have two great kids.
