Nervous about having sex

[emmm12322]

So I plan on having sex with this guy I've been talking to for a while now. We're both going away for a while this summer and won't be seeing each other for a month. I really want to have this experience with him but I'm nervous. I don't want him to think I'm bad or think I'm doing something wrong. Do you have any advice on having sex? Any advice or tips would really help! (I have no idea what I'll be doing!)
Please help!!!

Sheez, condoms at least.  I meant, the Pill?  An IUD?  Please don't say you haven't made a plan about this.

Use condoms.

What birth-control method will you be using?

My advice to you would be to wait until you are in love with a guy someone that treasures you above everything you don't want to do it just because you won't see him for a month it can wait.... Guys are guys they all want one thing even if you think they don't .... You have only been talking to him and he isn't your boyfriend so I would wait.... Best of luck to you

I can't speak for anyone else, but I know that the first time can be a little awkward. If he's worth your time, he'll understand this. It easier said than done, but don't let that bother you because the awkwardness fades very quickly. Just make sure that you're doing it because it's something that you're ready for, rather than doing it because you want your first time over and done with. Make sure you're protected. Know that it can sometimes take a month of being on the pill for it to be effective. Advice? Honestly, I say that the best thing I could have told myself is to accept the fact that it will be awkward at first, because it's new. I completely understand these concerns, I felt the exact same. All I can say is know that  these feelings will pass soon! No matter what you choose, I hope it goes well. Be safe!
