Hopefully soon!
I don't understand why a first kiss is the only thing that is emphasized as important though, along with virginity.
What about first date?
First girlfriend/boyfriend (as in, before you begin getting affectionate)?
First hug, hand holding, etc.?
Most first kisses aren't really deep or meaningful, just 12 or 14 year olds messing around.
I'd value a first kiss as much as virginity.

I've learned that it doesn't really matter WHEN you had your first kiss, or when you lost your virginity.
It's quality that counts, not quantity or chronology.
I was 9 when I had my first "puppy love" kiss.
I had my first "real kiss" at age 14.
I really "felt" the kiss for the first time when I was 15.
Even if I, at 54, had just had my first kiss a few days ago--and my first lovemaking--and it was with the woman of my dreams, I wouldn't feel invalidated by having my first kiss so late.
I don't even mind if I never have a kiss or lose my virginity (don't really want to, anyway)...it's the never loving another person, and especially never being loved in return, that bothers me. I've had lots of crushes, but have never once in my life come
anywhere close to having someone else reciprocate such feelings.
Whenever I lament about this online I'm assured there must be someone out there who's interested in me, but such reassurances always come from people who are
not interested in me...so...that says a lot.
