I really want to have sex with my boyfriend and it would be both of our first times, but I was raised religiously and now that guilt is coming into my head. Did anybody else deal with this? How did you overcome it? Any help would be amazing!

Addition: I am 20 and he is 24. I’ve been wanting to have sex for years and have been offered multiple times. I wasn’t comfortable having anything close to sex until I met him. I’ve also had my own experiences (aka masturbation) where I knew it was looked down on in a religious view but I didn’t really care, because I knew it was something that made ME feel good and I liked it.
