What was the first thing you experienced that made you lose your innocence?

Talking to a psychic

Popping out of the birth canal...

A bootleg VCR tape of The Blue Lagoon.

My sister and I at age 13 watched religiously under the covers of darkness.

Being physically abused as a kid.

I think realizing adults were extremely flawed crazy and buffoonish. I was like 4 lol

Hmmm..I remember being 4 or 5 and stepping over my dad to use the toilet because he was passed out drunk on the bathroom floor. He was far from an alcoholic he just happened to be passed out drunk that night. Not sure if that counts as losing my innocence

I was 12, working at a restaurant/bar. Had our Christmas party and one of the regular drunk fisherman kept rubbing and kissing on me. It freaked me out, he was in his 50s, so very inappropriate.

Third grade. Opening the door at the wrong moment. Her mom said come in, when she shouldn't have.

To this day, I won't open the door and walk in, even if asked to. The daughter was that mad at me. I didn't talk to her again, until the tenth grade. And I didn't mention it even then.

Abject terror and extreme starvation. After that everything was just "something else to fear."

I dunno I'm still probably innocent about some stuff. It came away bit by bit peel by peel over a lifetime. Granted finding discarded copies of Hustler in the woods when I was a kid was an important first step.
