Is it possible?

Okay ladies. Now everyone says, sex doesn't play a big part in a relationship. But truly, yes it does! So anyways. My boyfriend and I have been together for about a month and we haven't slept with eachother yet. He wants too, but he's kinda scared. I intimate him. He always says he's never been with someone so beautiful before and he says I'm too pretty for him. My boyfriend is a very good lookin man. He's never had an actually long relationship. He's has sex before. He isn't the type to sleep around with just anyone. But we've tried to have sexy twice and he gets scared and loses his hard on. Hell start shaking a little bit. And then he gets really embaressed. And I'm more then willing to work with him. He knows that. I don't even push the issue. He comes to me.. Anyways. I have idea on how to go about making him less nervous. But I'm afraid he's always going to end up losing his hard on. But I feel like I haven't been able to actually get close with him because we haven't necessarily been intimate with eachother. Like that gaurd is still up a bit. I just don't eventually wanna be pushed away because he won't sleep with me. But is it possible that a deeper connection can't be forming right now because we haven't been intimate with eachother?
