My boyfriend and I have been together for months and we've decided to take our relationship to the next level by having sex.
I'm hesitant, though, because friends have told me that it hurts. I understand quite a bit about sex for my age. I know that if he goes slow at first, it won't hurt quite as much. But I still feel scared.
If you decide that sex is truly right for you (and by saying this, you acknowledge that you are losing your virginity to someone you will probably not end up with - sad to say, but look at the statistics), there are some things you can do.
Don't rush right into intercourse - spend a long time warming up. Have some lubricant on hand, and have him smooth some over his condom before trying to enter you. Have him move slowly and know that it WILL hurt; the more tense you are, the worse it will be. If needed, he can stop where he is and allow you to breathe in and out deeply a few times.
Finally, have excellent communication. You need to be able to tell him what will make the experience better. I'd talk with him beforehand as well.
Before any of this happens, though, I'd spend some time thinking about your fear. It could be a fear of the pain, or it could be a fear of the actual act of sex. Sex, at the right time, still hurts initially, but emotionally it shouldn't leave any scars. [ alisonmarie's advice column | Ask alisonmarie A Question ]

duckhuntrox answered Monday August 2 2004, 7:58 pm: well it is true that it can hurt the first time during sex, because there is a layer of skin covering the vagina (a hymen) and it may hurt when penetrated. it is also true that it can be broken by tampons, or even masturbating, and some women are in fact born without one. you can help by streching it yourself with your fingers before you have sex(in private of course)
