Like A Virgin

Some days ago, I was talking to my friends about the first time. Evidently,most girls dream about their first "fairytale" time and that doesn't involve vodka, the suburbs nor any backseat. They are all waiting for Prince Charming to come (cum) on a white horse and they expect him not to fall off that horse so that means that he must know "how to ride a horse" or they might even settle for a less handsome Prince Charming if he has instead of the horse a BMW or an Audi. I couldn't help to wonder: Does the first time have the same importance to gays as well? Do we have our hopes and dreams and through them we guide our "Google Search" ?
Weird enough, I have come to learn that some gays do wait for their Prince Charming to come and to be the "first in their lives". So do we just sit and wait for him to come along? Or we've already convinced ourselves that gay love doesn't exist and we fall for pickup lines like "I`m a stud" when he was supposed to come on a stud/horse ? Depending on how we were brought up, for each of us, the first time is conceived in a more or less conservative way. One thing I do know is that the first time is what makes you a gay. Yeah, you can say that you've been gay long before you did it for the first time, but how sure were you about your sexuality?
A vital element in everyone's first-time fairy tale is the guy you choose to do it with. Then again, most of the times you don't get to choose them with your "upper head", but he is chosen for you by your hormones or heart. So Mr Prince Charming, either you're tall or short, blue-, hazel-or green-eyed, brunet or blonde, don't forget to knock on my door. There are many things related to the physical aspect that we all should keep in mind and which should guide us when searching our prince, but how many of us look beyond that aspect? When talking about the first time, are you making love to him or to his body?
So... fairy tale over. Do you have doubts? Have you over stressed and idealized the concept of the "first time"? But what happens when we wake up the next morning next to our prince and start having regrets? What can we do not to have regrets? Most of us mistake into thinking that superficial knowledge of the one we share the bed with is what we always called "love". We should not get involved with guys just because they like the same kind of music or have the same favourite movie, cause we might end up in a movie, yes, but a horror one. Before we start playing with our dearest memories and feelings we must analyse our next step.
As I said before ... Do guys find the first time at the same level of importance as girls? Or for them is just an insignificant event which is actually the first in a long series of one night stands and affairs?
When you think about your first time ... What's the first thing that comes to your mind? A place, a kiss, a touch or a regret?
