 I think the first reply was good advice. You may have blacked out this experience because it was emotionally distressing. If you were involved in sexual activity at such a young age it would certainly suggest that you were coerced into it, or had difficult issues going on in your early adolescence that made you decide to be sexually active. Research suggests that girls who have sex at a young age have difficult family background and lack the self esteem to say no to encounters that most people would reserve for a later age. People who have experience of childhood sexual abuse often describe blacking out the details of the abuse as a method of emotionally coping with what has happened.

Uh, well most people lose it much later and so the memory is much clearer. I mean I can't remember some specifics from 11-13 either. That is really young! Was it a traumatic experience at all? Like something maybe you've blocked out a bit?
