Having sex for the first time can be an exciting and nerve-wracking experience. It's normal to have some thoughts about it and to feel nervous or unsure. But with a few preparations, you can be prepared and make the experience special.
Decision and trust
Before you decide to have sex with someone, you should make sure that you are ready and that you feel safe with that person. Trust and openness in communication with your partner are crucial for a positive experience. If you have doubts or concerns, you should address them and find a solution together.
Safe sex
It's important to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and unwanted pregnancies. Smart preparation includes buying condoms or whatever contraceptive you plan to use. Taking time to put the condom on properly the first time and learning an alternative method if necessary.
