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. But Ryan insisted I play. When my turn came, I was so nervous, I thought I was going to barf. I remember thinking, Please don’t be him. Please don’t be him. The last thing I wanted was for our first kiss to be awkward. But of course, the bottle landed on him! I tilted my head slightly, put my arms around his neck, and mimicked what he did with his tongue. It was like fireworks. As everyone was toweling off to go inside, Ryan stopped me and asked if we could talk. He admitted that he liked me, and we got back into the Jacuzzi to make out. Looking back, I’m so happy I didn’t chicken out on the game. We ended up dating after that!” – Amanda, 16
21. I told my mom a huge lie
“I told my mom someone broke in to cover up that I had snuck out. She called the cops to report it!” – Raymond, 21
22. We spontaneously hooked up in a tub
“My friends and I (including my girlfriend, Donna, and my neighbor Sarah) were sitting around bored over break, when someone had a brilliant suggestion: Let’s play hide-and-seek. As I was running around outside, I noticed the bathroom window at Sarah’s house was open, so I climbed through it. I pulled the shower curtain aside to hide, and guess who I found? Donna! I was about to make a mad dash for a new hiding spot when she whispered, ‘Stay with me,’ and pulled me in next to her. There we were alone, crammed together, with our adrenaline racing from the game – it was pretty sexy. In that moment, we locked eyes, and bam – we started making out. The seeker got quite a surprise when she finally discovered us!” – Sanne, 19
23. I hid from my crush’s mom
“This girl I was talking to invited me over to her house one night. I didn’t realize her parents were strict until she told me we 
had to be quiet. So we put on a movie and began making out. Right when we started getting into it, we heard a knock. It was her mom! Panicked, my crush shoved me into the space between her bed and the wall and threw a ton of pillows over me. I had to lie there dead silent for 10 minutes while they talked. I couldn’t believe I didn’t get caught. That is, until her older brother pulled into the driveway right as I was climbing out her window to leave. After all that effort to stay concealed – busted.” – Justin, 18
