Ken Davenport, the producer of Altar Boyz, crafted My First Time from a collection of more than 40,000 first-hand stories of people's first sexual experiences. The stories were all submitted anonymously to a website in 1998 and were drawn from the fossilized depths of the pre-socially networked Internet, where MIDI files swooped over vast primordial lakes of raw HTML. The range of pathos for such an assemblage is easy to envision, with tales vacillating from the sweet and silly to the absurd and existentially horrifying. Four fully clothed actors weave the anecdotes together from fine, lacy yarns of minimally graphic language while sitting monologue-style atop stools on center stage. Over the course of 90 minutes and without intermission, the play cheekily reveals true stories from real people and the five W's of their first adult trials. The result is a play infinitely more compelling than alternative premises such as My Initial Sandwich or New Shoes: The Blister Stories.

Reviews
Various publications have featured or reviewed My First Time, including the New York Times, Village Voice, Globe and Mail, and Broadway World:
- Numbers are nice, but it's the stories people want to hear, and the cast delivers them with casual warmth that's fun, light and conversational. There's nothing racy or shocking about the evening, nor is it dry and clinical. The four actors, simply placed at four stools, talk about sex in a manner that's refreshingly human and approachable. – Michael Dale, Broadway World
- I was struck by the range of feelings and emotions on display in the narratives: love, hate, lust, curiosity, ambivalence, anger, confusion, denial, anxiety, and hope—all of which we still can experience through sex beyond that first go around. – Tristan Taormino, Village Voice
