So just a bit of background, this guy and I have been I guess what you call “dating” for the past month or so. Both 17, we got together at a party, (not sex lol), talked a lot since then and have hung out quite a bit. He’s stayed at my house a few times, but nothing sexual has happened.

You can sort of feel the tension like we want to do stuff, but we’re both very inexperienced, (both virgins, even with things that aren’t sex), so I think we’re unsure of how to initiate it with each other. He’s very respectful, we’ve talked about it and both down to go further but just whenever it happens.

I feel like I am ready, but there’s still that bit of anxiety around it happening because I’ve never had anyone see or feel me in that way before, (I’m assuming that’s normal?) I think if I get past it once the first time happens, I’ll be okay, so I’m wanting to know some tips on how to take that step further? How should I touch him or how should I guide him, etc?

TIA xx
