Grant
Age: 37. Male. Straight.

Age 14
The Eighth Grade Garden Kiss
She wrote me a note in eighth grade math class saying she wanted to kiss me. She was already my girlfriend but we hadn't kissed yet. We communicated a lot by note writing. I took her on a springtime walk in my aunt's epic backyard garden and we finally kissed. It was sweet.
Age 19
The Redheaded Friend of a Friend
I feel so bad to this day – she wanted more and I only wanted to have casual sex, but I wasn't the best at communicating yet. I was 19, but still. She wore boxer-briefs and I thought it was so hot.
Age 22
The Ex-Con
We met at the grocery store. Don't worry, she was only an ex-con for drugs (I think... I mean that's what she told me). We had sex in the public bathroom of a community center.
Age 25
The Face Finish
We were casually dating for a few months and doing a lot of sexual exploration together. She said she always wanted someone to "finish" on her face. We talked about it, planned it out and she was super excited. The night we finally did it, she burst into tears immediately when it happened. I held her and promised to never do it again. Good lesson that fantasy does not always equal reality.
Age 32
The Wrestling Announcer
We met on an app, went on a date, and when we went back to mine she went to go down on me, took my dick in her hands and used it like a microphone saying, "let's get ready to rummmblllleee". She was hilarious. We dated for 3 years.
Age 35
The Magic Woman
We met at a board game cafe when I moved to a new city and wanted to learn how to play Magic the Gathering. I went to a local meet up and she invited me to join her friend's game. We've been best friends ever since. And now she's my wife.
