Basically, the title says it all. FH and I have never been sexually active, so, yeah, tips? Thought? Input? To be honest, I am a little nervous about the pain, but oh so excited too..

    I agree with basically everything that everyone else said, but want to especially emphasize the importance of touching, cuddling, and communication. In fact, if you and he haven't already talked about this, you might want to talk with him about your concerns before that night to make sure that you are both comfortable and have similar expectations. If you wind up going all the way, remember to take deep breaths and try to relax. Also, sorry if this is way too much information...but if he can make you orgasm first through touching, your muscles will be more relaxed when it's his turn (much less pain for you!). Don't be upset if you don't bleed...a lot of women don't, especially if the guy is being gentle! Be patient with yourself and with him. Remember that just like any sport or art you will need to practice! Don't be afraid to laugh if/when it gets awkward! Those are some of the best laughs ever!

    Just wanted to add that while having a glass of wine or two might be helpful in loosening up and feeling less uncomfortable, don't get too drunk. I was drunk my first time and really hurt myself because of course I couldn't feel my body's pain. It was difficult to have sex for a couple weeks afterwards. Good luck and remember, it only gets better from there!

    My recommendation is to take it very slowly. Talk about the possibility of waiting for intercourse until the next day but leave the possibility open. Foreplay will be your friend. Get acquainted with each other's bodies. Enjoy each other's skin while hugging in bed. Give each other a massage but be patient and work your way to the erogenous zones. Give each other oral sex first. Don't be afraid to orgasm before you have intercourse. It's fine if you do and he likely will before you get close to intercourse. You will likely be turned on if he's paid attention to you and you'll be surprised at how ready you'll be to take the next step. Let him recover and communicate with him what feels good to you. Hopefully, your body will be ready to consummate your marriage but don't rush it if you're not ready. The next morning will be fine. I had little pain the first time and no pain by the third time I had intercourse. Part of it is relaxing and trusting. Best wishes
