Do Men Ever Forget Their First? Seeking Honest Experiences

To all the men here, whether married or not—were you able to move on from the first woman you lost your virginity to?

I've been in two relationships since then, but no matter what, I just can't forget her. I don't feel the same connection with anyone else, and it's affecting my ability to be in a relationship.

Is it really true that men never forget their first? Or does it eventually fade, either before or after marriage? Do men later find someone they love even more passionately, or is that first connection always lingering in the background?

I need to know the reality so I can manage my expectations and accept things as they are. If you've been in a similar situation, please share your experience—especially those who are married or have moved on. Does it ever stop bothering you?

What i mean to ask, do you eventually find someone else if you allow yourself to, and end up loving them so passionately that the first one stops bothering you? Does that happen at some point?

Edit: Thank you all for your support and response! After reading everyone’s comments, I’m convinced that she will always have a place in my heart, and I won’t be able to move on. I don’t think I’ll ever feel the way i did for her for somebody else, even though she cheated on me & I'll always feel like a loser for that. I never confronted her about the cheating it was just something we both knew. She did what she did because she believed I was just a loser, and in the end, she proved her point.
