Who doesn't like sex? Who? But the first time you play a video game no matter what it is; new, sequel, prequel or something never seen, the first time is always the best.
Why am I comparing video games to sex? Well, they can both be casual or hardcore. Can they not? Sometimes you finish and sometimes not. But with sex the first time comes once, with video games they come often. The only difference is that sex involves two people or more of emotional capabilities and the understanding of consent.
The first time played. How wonderful are games that way. Even when you play a genre that has been played out, the first time is still the sweetest. Or are they? I'm getting old and looking for more. Genres feel old and tired. I find myself looking for something different all the time. I want to feel that pleasure of exposure of innocence once again.
I'm looking for my first. I want my virginity in video games back. I want that pleasure of picking something up that is new. In essence, I'm scared again. I fumble with the controls and everything seems awkward. And as the game progresses, so does my relationship with it as we become one on a pleasure and reward scale.
I will continue to search. I will continue to play video games. My first sex was done long ago, but my first video game is about to be played.

I, too, long for that virgin feeling. I'm getting it right now just listening to Final Fantasy VI music. So beautiful, so ready for me to fuck it, but the timing! I must be patient.
Maybe your onto something. First time playing a game I am terriable and generally fail at the task at hand. It only takes much practice for me to think I'm half decent. Much like sex.
GAMES ARE LIKE FOOD, THEY'RE GOOD AT FIRST BUT AFTER A WHILE THEY'RE SHIT GAMES ARE LIKE RETARDS, GREAT TO WATCH BUT WHEN THEY FUCK UP IT'S FUCKING ANNOYING GAMES ARE LIKE BONERS, YOU'RE NOT SURE ABOUT THE FIRST ONE BUT REALIZE PLAYING WITH THEM IS FUN GAMES ARE LIKE GIANT SHITS, THE PRICE OF ADMISSION IS PAINFUL BUT ONCE IT'S OVER YOU'RE GLAD YOU DID IT. GAMES ARE LIKE FUCKING RETARDED POSTS, THEY'RE AMUSING BUT I CAN DO BETTER!

Please do. I just need a bump.

What the...? Did you just retort my suggestion that this thread should be locked with an unflattering image of Nick Nolte? Dman you sir, and may God strike your eyes! I counter your cheekiness with boldness only fit for kings!

@Tru3_Blu3: somebody should tell this guy that girls are just as horny as guys... they just aren't as obvious about it... just bust a nut already and hope you find a freak who wants it more than you!
Also, is the first time ever the best for either thing? From what I hear, my friends who've "lost it" said that they were glad to just get it over with, while the first game you play might not necessarily be a good one.
I guess both "first times" are memorable however.
EDIT: For the record, I'm still a virgin. Literally, not figuratively- like when it comes to games or anything.

It's not your first sex though, unless you're playing a video game for the first time while having sex. Otherwise it doesn't count. Even then there's a caveat to the meaning of the first time.

" Have you heard of XBLA or Steam? I have my game virginity broken on a weekly basis. "
@Claude: Just sayin', it surprises me that anyone can feel the way you do when currently this is the largest growth of the indie games market in history, and games are easier to obtain than ever before. Every week there is a game that surprises me and changes my view of how games look, play and feel. My back catalog is bursting at the seams with such games.

Technically, you only get one first time with video games too. A new game is not your "first time" any more than having sex with a new person is. But if we're comparing playing a new game to having sex with a new partner, sex wins.
Videogames gives you serotonin in your brain. But it's not the same sex chemicals as endorphins. It's similar and both are addictive to the brain. I think a runner's high might be more similar but they are both chemicals in the brain for reward. Too much serotonin will get you depressed I think.
