“When I got married, the average Chinese person was very conservative in their thinking. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re getting into. The wedding night was too mysterious for me, we were living with his parents and it was a hot summer day, so we were extra careful not to make any noise. I remember that we had a mat on our bed, and within a few days, we broke it, for which I was embarrassed.” — Ms. Zhang, a newspaper reporter
“Honestly, I don’t even know what was our wedding night. At that time, the wedding banquet was over and he was drunk, and I was holding him back. When he came back, he fell back to sleep and I don’t think I was in the mood for sex. I think it was not until a week later that we had a more perfect sex life.” — Ms. Qian, a company employee
“I still remember my wedding night; before I married him, I had no I had no experience with sex before I married him, and I was terrified, and the more I got into the night, the stronger that fear became. I was afraid to even go home with him. My husband knew me very well and that night we sat and talked just like we did when we were in love. He told me a lot of things I was too embarrassed to hear before, and in fact, he was educating me about sexual initiation. The next night, I realized that “sex” was a wonderful thing. We now have a very harmonious sex life and we are very much in love because of it. For this, I am grateful to my husband.” — Ms. Li, a school teacher
“Technically speaking, we are not considered ‘newlyweds’ because we had been living together for three years before that. So the night we got married, both of us had no more expectations of sex, and that night was no different from any other night in general.” — Ms. Wang, a hospital nurse
“The wedding night didn’t leave too much of an impression on me, only that it felt very normal. My husband was quite considerate, but I still felt disappointed. I remember being so lost and hearing that the vast majority of women feel the same way. I hid it from him, and I shed a few tears in secret.” –netizen
