Losing Virginity to Anal Sex

Starting this topic just out of curiosity:   I lost my virginity when i was 17 years old. Pretty much athe average age i guess, although these days it may be younger. Although, i had done lots of oral sex, both giving and receiving before then with a few ex's. I had never pushed them to lose their virginity unless they had brought it up and were completely ready for it. When i was 16 i met this hot girl of persian origins through female friends of mine. She was so so so sexy. We started going out, things were great and we just loved to play with each other. Lots of sensuality for the age and i just loved pleasuring her body and did lots of foreplay. She was open and being muslim she told me she had to remain virgin until marriage. Exploring even further, i started fondling her ass, rimming her and even fingering her. One day she said that she so wanted to go further. I told her that she was to respect her culture. She then stunned me in telling me she wanted o try anal sex. I was amazed but it got me so so excited. So we built up to it, with lots of licking and fingering and then one day we decided to do it with no condom. I was oh so gentle with her, using lots of lube and eventually gliding in. She screamed a bit but told me not to stop as it was pleasurable.   This was my first penetration, so i lost my virginity by doing my girl anally;   Just curious who else has lost their virginity this way or if any girls had done anal before pussy penetration?
