Sex Fear!!!

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Hi, i'm 20 years old and still a virgin. i've been going out with a girl for a few weeks and we talk a lot about sex and it never was a problem or an issue. recently we were doing some silly sexuality test and she told me, among other irrelevant things, that she had had sex more than 2 times in a night.
although i'm pretty concious that that's very normal, i started obsessing about her being more experienced than I, and now i'm really scared of having sex with her and i'm becoming very anxious about it and i'm afraid it will ruin our relationship.
i also can't help thinking about her and her last boyfriend together and although i know this is ridiculous, i can't help but feel unconfortable about those thoughts.

    i'd suggest you talk to your gf about it... some girls can find it quite a turn on with an inexperienced guy (so i've heard). does you gf know you are a virgin? talking is the best way to put your mind at ease, and it'll help when you do have sex if you let her guide you.

    You probably will think about her ex's and about how "good" they were and whatever but you can't change that as harsh as it sounds its one of those things which are what they are and you've got to accept it.

    Don't let it get in the way of what sounds to be quite a promising relationship.

    Don't be anxious about loosing your virginity to her. I'm sure she remembers her first time and (talking very generalised now) it probably won't have been too pleasant for her. If she's a nice lass I'm sure shes going to want to make you feel at ease and make your first time the best it can be. Go along with this and remember that she loves you already; minus the sex. She may be experienced and . . .? Thats all. She's experienced. So what? She loves you as a person and the sex will be just fine and fun and a healthy part of your relationship before you know it. The more you stress the more pressure you feel and it's just going to make it suck. Try to relax.

    There isn't really much to say. You're feeling a bit anxious - that's normal - it's fine. She probably knows your anxious and she probably knows what your thinking.

    Just go with the flow mate and you'll be fine.

    If animals can manage it, I'm sure you can. Don't worry and do what comes naturally.

    I wouldnt worry too much about it. I hadnt had sex for ages then once it came to it, once you get into the foreplay and you get really up for it the fear goes away and nature takes its course lol

    its only natural to be anxious in this situation, i was when i lost my virginity as my partner then was only marginally more experienced than me. But as other people have said, once you get down to the foreplay and get on with it, it goes away. And after that, theres no worries - you're the how ever many times a night on a random quiz bloke and all is well.

    Dont worry

    Generally speaking, porn rarely gives a realistic view of sex, you might find this article about real life sex interesting on that subject. I agree talking definitely helps and Ashley has also given lots of sound advice, as have all of you for that matter!

    You may also find this article on sex with a new partner helpful.

    Take care and enjoy. :)

    I disagree, a lot of amateur porn would be good educational material.

    To be fair, watching porn might scare him more, I would dread to think that I was expected to "perform" in the same way the first time I had sex. 18 positions in 10 minutes, talking dirty, no awkwardness about it going in, stange noises, sensations etc.

    Personally I think the best thing to do is to communicate, if something feels good tell her and ask her to do the same or maybe guide you a little I dont think many men would object to someone moving their hands or giving a bit of verbal encouragement, not in the barking orders type of way but maybe guide your hands and tell you she would like certain things harder, softer, faster or slower.

    Don't worry if things are a little less glossy than the films, its like that in real life, I would rather have sex with someone who didn't take it too seriously and treated it as fun and could laugh at the funny stuff like the occasional noise.

    I did say 'generally speaking' but I'm inclined to agree with twinklestar.

    Educational material for what exactly? :eek2:

    Scaring the shit out of schoolkids and making them too terrified to ever have sex?

    Hey, let's get into into secondary school now...

    :shocking:

    Best advice I ever read on this kinda thing (probably in Cosmo or a similar rag but hey...) was that she may be more experienced with other guys, but she's new to YOU, just like you're new to her. You'll be exploring each other together for the first time, and because everyone's different there'll be things that you like that she won't know already.

    Chill :cool:

    No way, i remeber my first time, and is was nothing like porn at all! Just go with the flow, do lots of foreplay so that your both in the mood and relax! Make sure you enjoy it!

    good Luck!
