You probably have a lot of things going through your mind when you think about your first time having sex. Maybe you’re wondering if your body will change afterward, or if it might even hurt you. In this article, we’ll go over everything you need to know for your first time.
What happens to your body when you have sex?
Your body doesn’t show any obvious signs after you have sex for the first time – so others can’t tell. The only way for someone else to know you’ve had sex is if you tell someone else.
Will it hurt?
Much of the anxiety about having sex for the first time revolves around whether it will hurt. If you relax, feel comfortable, and take care of your body, it probably won’t hurt. What you may feel is a little excitement because this experience is new to you.
Will I have an orgasm?
You may imagine your first time having sex to be magical and very romantic, as it is often depicted in movies. However, your first time may not go nearly as mishap-free as you think. And that’s totally okay! As with all first times in life, first time sex can be a little bumpy and awkward. On top of that, you may both be nervous, which makes it all the more difficult to have an orgasm. This is perfectly normal. Sex without orgasm can also be pleasurable and a good way for you and your partner to get closer.
Can I get pregnant when I have sex for the first time?
In some societies, there is a myth that you can’t get pregnant the first time you have sex. This is false. If you have already gotten your period, you can get pregnant when you have sex. If you don’t want to get pregnant, you should use birth control every time you have sex. Also, to protect yourself from STDs.
Contraceptives
If you don’t want to have children, you should use birth control methods to reduce the chance of pregnancy. Contraceptives such as condoms or diaphragms further prevent sperm from reaching the egg. Other hormonal methods, such as birth control pills, on the other hand, only change your hormones to ensure that no egg will jump and thus be fertilized. Only condoms protect against both pregnancy and STDs.
The first time: listen to yourself
When you have sex for the first time, you may feel anxious. This is perfectly normal. However, there are some things you can do to manage this anxiety.
- Choose a person with whom you feel comfortable. The likelihood of being satisfied psychologically as well as physically is greater if you have sex with someone you trust completely. When you are with someone you trust, you can feel safer and more in control of the situation.
- Make sure the atmosphere is comfortable and familiar
- If you want to have sex and you have some jitters, you may want to have your first time in a place where you feel comfortable – because in an unfamiliar or uncomfortable place, you may have a hard time enjoying the situation.
Conclusion
If you’re unsure about what to expect from your first time having sex, that’s totally normal. It’s normal to be a little unsure and tense, but being in a comfortable place with the right partner or partner and taking it slow will help you enjoy your first time. Be sure to have safe sex and use contraception to avoid pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
