That's how big it is around.
take things slow and try and relax, it may be difficult at first but just experiment. I would suggest that he stretches you with his fingers first, and obviously make sure you are turned on and wet enough. Just try and have fun.

I am not suggesting you get drunk, but maybe a small amount of alcohol will help with the nerves.

my first time didnt really hurt, but he had a small dick so that helped lol:p:

so why not just call it circumfrence, whats with stupid names for everything :p:
Make sure you're both somewhere private where you're not going to be easily interrupted- that will only add to the anxiety. Take it slow and make sure you're both feeling completely ready before trying, whether it hurts or not will depend on whether your hymen is still intact- for most girls it does hurt a bit during the first intercourse but it's not usually unbearable, and if it does become too painful just stop and go back to some foreplay before trying again or just leave it to another day. Using some lube may also help. Once you've had sex a few times it'll be less painful and you'll probably be much more relaxed with one another so you'll enjoy it more, and you can experiment with different positions that don't penetrate you too deeply so are less likely to cause you any discomfort from his large penis.
I'd say just make sure you're as relaxed (and horny) as possible. If your boyfriend has been..fingering you for quite a while then you shouldn't be too tight. My first time is a hazy repressed blur..I remember immense pain but I think this was mainly due to me being naive and not really ready. Then I didn't have sex for 4 years until I met my current boyfriend 2 years ago, and when I had sex for the first time (again) it was amazing and painless!

Hope this kinda helps...good luck!:wink:

because circumference insinuates something other than the human body.
lay back and think of england
Isn't 5.5 inches the average girth?

I dont think so..

I've got an evian bottle on my desk, who's girth is 6inches (at the base), so I'd hate to see 5.5 going into a normal girl.

5.5 inches is maybe the average length, but i don't really know the stats offhand.
According to wikipedia, average girth is about 5 inches, length between five and six (different studies disagree).

For losing the virginity, it kind of depends if you're used to masturbating/being fingered. If you aren't, well, I don't like to think about it :eek: . Work up slowly, relax, don't do it until you really feel damn horny and not too nervous :wink: .

Well maybe I'm wrong then ... :p:

Edit: But have you measured 5.5 ' girth?

Probably because girth sounds slightly raunchy... I can't imagine any girl going "Oh what a large circumference youve got!" and still being turned on...

And, yeah 5 inches for girth is quite normal, that's around not across people! A coke can for example probably has a girth of about 8 inches. (Oh yeah, I love to measure the girth of those sexy coke cans. I'm cool)
I just got my tape measure out and 5 inches looks like a pretty normal circumference. I can't see 5.5 being too challenging either.

Really? My Evian bottle has a 'girth' of 8 inches. Just measured it... the things I do for you guys.
Hahaha, Adthegreat has a tiny Evian bottle! Youre less of a man than me and Stevo.

Back to the point, just relax and don't worry about it :smile:
