Sex Help

Okay so, I lost my virginity this last Monday and it was both our first time but it we both seemed so awkward and we couldn't get his dick to fit inside me for like the first 4 times and so he ended up getting discouraged and then after that he kept on going soft without meaning it and we ended up actually getting it in eventually but yeah, and we are going to try again on Friday, and does anyone have any tips for me? I want to make sure it goes well this time and that ^^ doesn't happen again.
