Losing my virginity

I’m 17 and i’ve been going out with my bf for almost 5 months, I’m going on the pill in the next week or so and we are going to use a condom as well when we do it! But we probs won’t do it until a few weeks time just so I can adjust to the pill! We have had numerous open conversations and we are now at the point where we are both ready to have sex and want to take our relationship that step further! It’s both of our first times and I’m really excited to get closer to him and connect with him on a deeper level!

But I was wondering have you got any tips or tricks that you wish you’d known for your first time?
