Nervous about Sex (13)

1 Name: Secret Admirer : 2007-01-09 16:36 ID:g1qKd9lu

Hi. I'm a girl, 18, and I have a boyfriend. (Makes it sound like AA or something?)
Anyway, we've only been dating for like 2 weeks an the question of sex has already come up. I've basically told him that I definately want to EVENTUALLY, but not QUITE so early. Basically I'd like us to be dating for at least a couple months first. (This is mostly because I'm a virgin, and he and I haven't even done the "I love you" thing yet.) So we've only done pretty much "under the shirt" stuff.

But I'm very nervous. Although I want to have sex (nobody is pressuring me, I assure you) I'm a very body conscious person. Especially about my lower body, which is of course where the whole focus of sex IS. I'm not a fat person, really. My BMI is in the healthy range...but only just barely. And while I know that he probably wont care, I'm afraid that I'm going to ruin my own first sexual experience by being preoccupied with making sure that my purple scar on the back of my fatass thigh is covered or something.

I've been losing weigh and trying to tan a little (fake tan, I can't natural tan at all) and working on trying to make the horrible skin on my legs and arse look okay, and I've been using scar cream...but I know I wont be perfect by the time I have sex.

So tell me...are most people really self conscious when they have sex, or does that all fly out of your head once you get into it? Because I'm scared that I'll spend my whole first time thinking "OH GOD MAYBE HE CAN FEEL THAT LITTLE BUMP ON MY ASS JESUS CHRIST NOOO"

I think I'm self conscious but in the moment I completely forget it. It depends anyways... on the pair. Say those who go slower (sweeter and even talk during sex dies) yeah maybe they would pay attention to such detail. The majority have sex like animals. I don't think you should worry too much.

Yeah I don't think it will be a problem. As for me, I saw my girlfriend's entire body many times before we actually had sex. She didn't have a perfect body, but I never noticed anything that was unattractive. Little flaws shouldn't matter at that point.

You're the one who spends the largest amount of time with your own body, and thus you notice things that most others wouldn't give a damn about. Trust me, someone with a few "flaws" (i.e. everyone) that's clearly enjoying the sex, helping and encouraging, perhaps even being the dominant one, is bloody sexy and one hell of a turn on. Now, imagine your favourite super-skinny supermodel: I can promise that she'd be awful to have in bed if she instead of enjoying the moment kept being too obsessed about her body, especially the "flaws", feeling too selfconscious. That, unlike "just flaws", is a turnoff. He's not going to have sex with your body: he's going to have sex with YOU, and you with HIM. There's a lot more to people than just their bodies. He loves you and finds you attractive, right? Trust me, a mere bump isn't going to change that. If he accidentally touches something "bad", then just grab his arm, move it elsewhere so that his body is closer to yours, and wink seductively. Trust me, he's totally not going to give a fuck about any bumps... xD

I understand exactly how you feel and I know how hard it is when you are unhappy with how you look. The first time is never perfect and when we are self conscious it makes the experience even worse. I do not really have any advice for you except I can tell you about my own personal experience.

I was so shy about my body and sex while the guy I was with was not even my boyfriend and he had little regard for how I felt. He wanted to leave the lights on and I wanted the room to be as dark as possible. It turned into an argument and he called me uncooperative and childish. When I would not uncover myself with the lights on he got impatient and pushy, so we did it with the lights on and since he was unhappy with me, he made no effort to be gentle and it only lasted a few minutes.

So, before you do anything learn to be happy with your body and that he is respectful of it. If you would feel better without lights let him know and really insist and for your first time you will probably be on your back so do not be too self-conscious about that.

i understand how u feel. especially because u r a girl, and will be the first time for u to have sex with someone.

but try not to worry too much about ur scar, becuse usually in such cases like this, the other person(in this case its ur boyfriend) doesnt worry as much as u do.

in other words, dont be "too" self conscious.

My first time was pretty awesome, sexwise. But that's because my boyfriend and I had spent a lot of time teasing each other and exploring each other's bodies before that, and I had zero fears even though my body was not something you'd see on a supermodel.

guys in particular don't mind for little things like that just tell him what bothers you in a private atmosphere and most likly he will understand

My advice to you is to not worry about it, but maybe tell him beforehand (not RIGHT beforehand!) If he really loves you, he won't care about a scar. I'm sure he wouldn't be dating you if your appearance wasn't already satisfactory to him!

When the time comes, just loosen up and enjoy yourself, and don't worry about the little imperfections on your body, because he sure won't be.

don't tell him, because if you tell him he's going to think its something big and he'll be the one thinking about it when you have sex.

if it makes you feel better, there is a reason people turn off the lights when the have sex

Get to the point in your relationship where you know that he accepts you for all your greatnesses and faults. This takes time! (More than two weeks.) You are rushing yourself. Relax. Test the waters by modeling a bathing suit in front of him. If he makes a point about the blemish, then address it. He should accept it as a part of you. If not, then he is just superficial and will focus on other "parts" of you that way too. Make sure the love is there is my point.

If your boyfriend needs you to have a perfect body for the first time, he's crap. Tell him about it. You can't hide it anyway, and if you try, it'll only bring you distress, right?

I'd say don't worry about it, right? "Sex is all about the lower body"? No?

Sex is all about making looove, right? It's like saying that food is all about cutlery, dangit. Of course your butt and vagina is REQUIRED for the act to occur and of course they bring sexiness to it but you know..

Worry and stress is the unsexiest there is. Try to find some confidence and try to enjoy it. That'll be sexy, alltight? :]

And as >>10 and like everybody else said, he won't worry. He just won't. If appearance and sex appeal is all that matters to him, tell him to go browse porn and not come back.

Good luck @ O@
