Touched for the Very First-- oops! Sorry.

I have a beef with the phrase "Lose your virginity."

"To lose" something implies it was an accident. You lose your keys, your socks, your bus ticket.
But by most guys' accounts, not only was losing their virginity not an accident, it was the most deliberate act of their lives. It is planned, orchestrated, over-analyzed and attempted several times.

But "losing" is also negative-- You lose your mind, your will to live, your lunch. And by most women's accounts, this seems to describe their first time quite accurately: The first time is crazy, disappointing and it induces nausea.
