Amy Schumer has always seemed to be extremely open and honest about her sex life. However, she recently shared an untold story about her first sexual experience that is far too relatable for many women, revealing that it was not consensual.
“My first sexual experience was not a good one. I didn’t think about it until I started reading my journal again. When it happened, I wrote about it almost like a throwaway.

“I had another time with a boyfriend where I was saying, ‘No, stop,’ and it was just completely ignored,” Schumer said.
Schumer went on to comment on rape culture, saying, “You know, with the rape survivor, it’s not just shaming, it’s fury. It makes people so mad if you’re not a perfect victim.”
