Does it hurt as bad as people say?

cassie

So im a virgin and all my friends have had sex. My boyfriend and I are talking about having it but every time he fingers me I can’t stand the pain. He keeps telling me “baby I don’t wanna hurt you” but I feel like if I just got it done with it wouldn’t hurt after a while. I just don’t know what to do without being a pussy. Is there like a way to not be as painful? Or something? Help please !!!
