y'know, i do'nt think that everyone is bad at it the first time - it all depends on if you're a physical person and comfortable in your body or not. My first time was amazing (i was very lucky) - go for it kid!! just find someone you fancy so much you want to bite them.
Dan, you're amazing. You're intelligent & have an educated opinion, but also realize that sex advice is not set in stone, and you know when to trust your instincts, which are usually dead-on…you're compassionate, but you know when to be tough and just say "DTMF"...and you approach your delicate topic with a humble mentality and infinite humor. Terry is a very lucky man to have such a wonderful husband, and speaking as a fangirl, I'm jealous. =P
My first time was bad It was a "is it in?" uncomfortable so much now I try to laugh it of type of a moment. But then I got in a long term relationship with someone that I trusted it was amazing after that. You have to really be in tune with yourself to be sexually active. Or you will slip and go to a dark place you wish you have never seen.
This makes me feel better about losing mine. I'm at the point in my life where I'm finally facing my social fears and realizing that I don't have to measure up to what I think people expect from me.
"do it with someone who knows your a virgin and knows your nervous and is honored that you want to do it with them." oh dan, i wish i had seen this before i lost my virginity. the guy i lost it to didn't know he was my first, and that has weirded me out ever since.
Oh boy; the first time you get laid, no matter how good you are, you'll only get better from there on out. If the first time you're sexually active its girl/girl, boy/boy, genderqueer biological girl/ bi boy, whatever it will only get better from there on out.
@ladylynnica I dunno. Being scared to lose it makes it a lot worse, dreadful, and complex than it probably needs to be. Losing it young-- probably just before that dread would hit some people-- might've been just in time to save you that same fear and dread.
@edheldude Lol my virginity is very loose! he put it in but it hurt too much. This has happened thee times with three different dudes so I consider my virginity as loose.
@peach55 I had that same problem too. What I find helps is if you find it hurts too much, then get him to take it out and put it back in again a few seconds later. That really worked for me. In fact, I did that just the other week. It also helps if the guy is lying on his back and you slide yourself down his penis. That way you can do it at your own pace. I also think foreplay is very important so that you are relaxed and hard for when he puts himself inside you.
Thank you, Dan Savage.

The difficult part isn't doing it; it's finding someone who wants to do it with you.
