My First Time

So the time has come, that I finally discuss the first time. Yep, THE FIRST TIME!

While some of you will be very interested in reading about this, some of you may not and there will be a few (very few) that will be repulsed. Unfortunately, it can't be helped. We all knew this time would come sooner or later and there is just no time like the present.

Most people treasure their First Time, and I guess in many ways I probably treasure my First Time too. On reflection I always wonder what I could have done differently to make it more special. Then it occurs to me, can your First Time even be special? There you are fumbling, bumbling and stumbling your way around and lets be honest all of us fumble, bumble and stumble the First Time. So how exactly is this supposed to be special?

The fumbling, bumbling and stumbling would make you believe that maybe your First Time isn't special, maybe its the Seventh Time that would be special. I mean if you haven't figured out things by your Seventh Time you are pretty much a goner. You would be destined to spend the rest of your life in misery because of your sheer lack of competence. For the record my Seventh Time was pretty special. Not just because I managed to get to seven but also because I'd like to believe I wasn't fumbling, bumbling and stumbling about as much.

I believe I'm different from most people (Yeah, we all say it! But the difference is I believe it!). Most people the First Time over compensate and well lets just say they can't handle the pressure and release early. Not me, I didn't over compensate and I sure didn't release early... I just couldn't start. There I was and I couldn't start. Ever hear the expression "Deer in headlights", well that was me. It's not like I didn't want to start, its just that I couldn't start, In retrospect I guess even the best of things won't start when they don't want too.

And let me tell you, contrary to public opinion laughter is not the best medicine, especially at a time like this! Not only was it not appreciated, but First Time laughter nearly got me killed.

Eventually I did get started and things turned out pleasantly enough, was it as good as the Seventh Time? Of course not but you live and you learn.

And No! This time I am not talking about the First Time I rode my bike. That was worse!
