There’s a big cloud of mystery for girls who are yet to have sex for the first time and they always use words like awful, painful etc. It’s honestly not as scary as that. If you’re with someone who truly loves you they’ll go at your pace (not just during sex but in life!) People use horror stories like “I bled like a period during my first time” but in reality IF you did bleed, it doesn’t just pour with blood, there’s just a slight little bit that you don’t even notice until you change the sheets the next morning.
Definitely use two forms of protection just to be safe, me and my boyfriend still do most of the time and we’ve been together for years. Any man who says a condom “limits his feeling” or “can’t fit his d***” is lying!
Honestly, your first time shouldn’t really hurt. It will probably feel unusual, so make sure you have a water based lube for ease (the blue durex one is good, you can get it from about £2.50-£5 in places like superdrug, boots etc)
and make sure you COMMUNICATE during it! if something does hurt, or if he’s doing something that’s not good for you tell him! He’s not gonna want to not please you, communication is the way to go.
Lastly, enjoy it. The more you think it’s going to be awful or stress over it, the less aroused you’ll be as you’ll be waiting for something to hurt or go wrong.
Do what comes naturally, but make sure you’re relaxed!
