I [18F] plan on having sex for the first time soon and I'm very sheltered. What should I expect?

Honestly, my first time was last year. I was 23. And from me personally, it was nice, but quick lol. We got a hotel in Napa. Like you, I grew up very sheltered. Me and bf had fooled around but like you, no penetration.

I thought it was very hyped up, like everyone’s always like omg your first time will hurt, it’ll be weird blah blah blah. I loved it. It didn’t hurt for me tbh, it was just a strange feeling/sensation to get used to. He finished rather quickly cause he got a bit too excited, but I didn’t mind one bit, cause I love him and he didn’t make it awkward at all. He was embarrassed but I assured him to hopefully make him comfortable.

I bled, which I expected, but I was sooo embarrassed afterwards cause it was on the nice comfy white hotel blankets. Right in the middle. I was more embarrassed about that then anything.

The only thing I noticed is I was a bit sore down there afterward. Still bleeding for a bit, had to use a pad, which I hated cause I couldn’t swim in the nice pools. But yeah. It was a nice personal moment, no matter how quick it was. I liked that my boyfriend kept making sure if I was okay, or if I wanted to stop, it made me a bit more comfortable.

Just relax. I was nervous, but I realized after there was nothing to be nervous about. It’s hyped up so much. I just knew I didn’t wanna plan it, I just wanted it to happen in the moment, cause if I planned it I knew it would make me freak out more.
