Is it normal for me to be kind of nervous about having sex for the first time. Its like i want to do it but not with just anyone and im afraid at the same time. I have only told a few girls that have had intrest in me that and only 1 male. He was a close friend and im friends with his girlfriend and she told me he is afraid as well. So is it normal to sort of fear your first time.

Well, "Dear Cupid" insists on "editing" links so they don't work. Try "I'm a virgin and worried about my wedding night..." at http://www.dearcupid.org/question/im-a-virgin-and-worried-about-my-wedding.html and see if it works.

I don't know if there is a "normal" attitude about your first sexual experience! I was afraid - and nervous - and concerned about pleasing my partner - and very eager - and knew a lot that just wasn't true.

They say "the first time doesn't matter as much to guys as girls". BULL! It matters - though perhaps in a different way.

I wasn't totally convinced of the "wait for marriage" approach, though I agreed that wasn't a bad idea. I wanted my first time to be with somebody I cared for, and would be with for a LONG time - preferably a lifetime. It turned out that my first was with my wife, on our wedding night, and her first too.

Hi hun,

It's normal to be nervous when it's your first time, just relax and enjoy yourself!

Also, remember to use protection!!

Good Luck x
