Spinoff of Ob/GYN post...advice for virgin brides!

Shannon S., on March 30, 2011 at 1:33 PM Posted in Married Life 0 67

Hi all,

I know we have some brides on here whose first time is going to be their wedding night. Since some may be afraid to ask, what sort of advice would you non-virgins like to offer?

I'll go first:

1. First time sex is usually pretty dang awkward, especially if you're both virgins. Don't expect the moon and stars the first time around. But keep practicing, it gets better. Sometimes the first time hurts, sometimes it doesn't. Ask your DH to be patient and go slow.

2. Use lubrication, such as K-Y. Don't use Vaseline.

3. Lots of women can't orgasm from sex alone...which is why we have foreplay!

4. Lots of embarassing stuff can happen - queefs, sweat, falling off the side of the bed. Be playful and able to laugh it off.

5. Instead of guy-on-top, try being on top and gradually lowering yourself onto him. It'll allow you to control the depth of penetration until you're comfortable.

Anyone else?

    There usually a little bit of blood from the act but nothing to be scared of.

    Take deep breaths and try to meditate and relax as much as you can.

    oh and it's nothing like the in the movies or on soap operas.

    Don't psych yourself up just in case it's just not the right time, and do not force yourself to do it (don't get in the mindset that you have to) that can cause not only immediate injury but a psychological- subliminal tie between your brain and vaj that is very hard to overcome (I know, I have it)

    That's awesome Shannon...especially #4!! And #5 is crucial...even for me now sometimes...

    I have one!!!
    6. Communicate!! If something hurts, say something! If something feels good! SAY SOMETHING!!! The boys can't learn what hurts and what works if you don't tell them!!! (Guys are just that way!)

    Also, 9. Masturbation is your friend. It lets you figure out what sort of touch works for you (slow/fast, soft/hard, etc), which you can then (#6) COMMUNICATE! to your DS.

    You can't say too many good things about lube. Never underestimate the power of a good lube. Water based only though if you are using condoms, oil based makes them break.

    I worked at an adult store for a long time, so the advice I have is probably a little, er, too much for this post. lol.

    LUBE YES!!! Aquaphor is what my doctor recommended...is it weird that I've had to use lube all of my 'sexual' life up until I met FH? Maybe my body is changing?? I'm weird, who knows..

    Bella: YEEEEEEHAWWWW!!!

    Try to loosen up ... going stiff on them is not a good thing.. if you are a drinker a little wine or something will help you relax.

    LMAO You girls crack me up.

    @FMC I had that issue too until I met FH. I like to think it's because I found the right man and I don't need it anymore. hehe

    #10 - Don't fake an orgasm. It leads your guy to think that what he is doing is pleasurable, so he will keep doing it that way. Instead, be honest with him and tell him when something feels good and when something isn't working.

    Also, if your guy is a virgin too...don't expect it to take very long. One good commercial break and you should be all set. Smiley smile

    Stamina comes with time.

    Sheila, then maybe he can see a doc to help him with that. I'm sure they have something he can take for that! And when Stamina comes with time...heck, my FH is 38 (I'm 30)...I'm worn out 10 minutes in...he's still raring to go!

    @Sheila - work on positions/starting and stopping stimulation. For example: be on top, and go slow and gradually pick up speed. When he's close, stop, wait, and then start back up.

    Oh Shannon, this is great!

    I agree def be vocal and don't be afraid to take each other by surprise. FH can be in the middle of something and I will gladly interrupt him!

    It might hurt, but not for long, and not that much. Laugh off the awkwardness. Remember, you have plenty of time to practice Smiley smile

    My advise, set the mood. Its really nice to have candles, some incense, nice music. It really helps you to relax. It will help you concentrate on him rather than worrying about it being the first time Smiley smile And I suggest not jumping into the actual act right away....foreplay is key for your first couple of times. It will also relax you and your partner!!!

    Monique...I'm going to get something sexy to wear...some HOT shoes, etc..He loves that sort of stuff and doesn't get it very often..we are parents of 4 kids...we are lucky if we get 5 minutes alone....and at bedtime, we crash b/c we are so tired!
