I've met a guy who is addicted to methadone and benzodiazepines and is in a process of tapering off the benzodiazepine first (just like me). One day he told me his story about falling into addiction. The reason was that he was turned down by a girl in the past in his puberty. Later, in secondary school he fell for another girl but she turned him down too. The third time he was turned down was the nail in the coffin. He started similar to me, i.e. with a light opioid and ended up shooting heroin.
During the time of his usage he didn't meet with anyone, his self-esteem suffered serious damage. Now he's 25 and he's been dating a girl for some time, she's 24. He told me that he had never made love and that he's worried about his first time with her, the reaction of the girl.
I told him that if she's wise concerning life, nothing bad will happen even when she realizes it's his first time. She may mention it and she may not but she will definitely react maturely anyway. Then he got another problem about the situation. What if she figures out, says nothing but feels an urge to talk about it but doesn't ask him because she doesn't want to make him feel offended in any way.
Chances a woman who had sex before will figure out that it's man's first time are like 90%, I guess. Anyway, I'm not a woman so I don't know. He's a fine looking guy, I saw the girl, she's very pretty. This makes him worry even more. I say it doesn't matter if they're together.
I would like to hear opinions on it from both perspectives, women's and men's. I want to help him because I was rejected too, the difference is it was at a very young age, I got interested in girls as real partners, I mean not only sex but a serious need for closeness. The problem was the girl I fell for wasn't mature enough for a serious relationship (totally understandable, I was 14 back then). And eventually a 1-year older girl helped me to get rid of unsubstantiated and ridiculous complexes.
