First time

okay,so i'm still a virgin but i've a boyfriend and he's not a virgin,i want to have sex with him but i've heard from so many of my friends that the first time hurts real bad but i don't want to only be able to last a few minutes or even seconds because of the pain. Is there anything i can do to stop it from hurting so much of even reduce it? so that i'm not such a let down for making him stop so soon?😂
