So my boyfriend (m17) and I (f17) have been together for about 9 months now and we’ve started doing sexual things slowly over the past 3 months. We haven’t had intercourse because we both agree there are too many risks involved in that but we’re both fine with oral and anything that isn’t intercourse.

He has gone down on me a few times before and says he really likes it but tonight was the first time he let me go down on him; he said it felt really good and he liked it. However, he said he felt bad now due to him being raised Christian and he’s constantly “getting my hopes up”.

I’m perfectly ok with not doing anything and I respect his boundaries but I know he enjoys it. I ask if he’s ok with what I’m doing a lot, he always replies ‘yes’ enthusiastically.

It’s just after he’s always feeling guilty. We’ve known each other since 3rd grade and have always been friends since we’re next door neighbors. Any advice?
