Some "first-time" advice?

maddie
my boyfriend and i have been dating for almost four years, and we think we are ready to try sex. (dont worry; im on birth control and we're going to use a condom as well.) i know that for some girls, their first time hurts a lot, some a little, some not at all. if anyone would like to share some advice on what to do to maximize comfort for my boyfriend and i both, or just some general things to be aware of, itd be greatly appreciated!! ✌☺
