19. I took “first base” super literally
“My junior year of high school, I went to Mexico for a week with my best friend and her family. It was our last night of vacation, so we decided to go dancing. That’s when I met Steven. He was tall with messy hair – literally the hottest guy I had ever seen. I was having so much fun laughing and dancing with him; I didn’t want the night to end. So instead of turning in, we asked if he and his friends wanted to go for a walk along the beach. I hinted to my friend that I wanted alone time with Steven, so the group went ahead of us. We sat down behind a stack of chairs and started hooking up. Suddenly, it became very bright. I thought my friends were pulling a prank, but when I looked up, there were security guards shining their flashlights on us. While I hurried to fix my clothes, Steven gave them $20 to leave us alone. I guess what happens in Mexico stays in Mexico – so long as you have extra cash!” – Sabrina, 18
20. I had my first kiss in a Jacuzzi
“I had a crush on my best guy friend, Ryan*, for as long as I can remember. But I was scared it would ruin our friendship if I told him the truth about how I really felt. Then at his spring break kickoff party, someone came up with the idea to play spin the bottle in the hot tub. I was terrified – the only kiss I’d ever had was a small peck – so I tried to back out.
