Is it normal that i'm somewhat scared of having sex?

I'm a virgin and I have never had a bf or have done anything with a guy. Not even kiss. In not ugly I just have not felt the need for a boyfriend until now.
I have not found s bf yet but I was thinking about how he at some point is going to want to have sex but I am so scared to have sex! I'm worried I'm not going to be "hot" naked or not know what I'm doing, I'm so scared it's going to hurt as well.

I'm also a small person so I'm scared I'm not going to be ... Pretty? I'm 105 lbs and very skinny, and idk if that attractive ....

Personally as a whole in scared im going to be awkward , and in pain and I don't want that... What can I do to make myself believe that it's not gonna be that bad. All my friends say sex is amazing but I'm still worried ... Is that normal?!?!?

    Its very normal to be nervous when it comes to losing your virginity. I also think that's a sign that you are not ready.

    Yeah, it's normal. I am a virgin as well, but i am a guy. I think that if you are just naturally skinny then that is not unattractive, but if you are like anorexic or something then that could be unattractive for me personally. As for the guy wanting to have sex, you sound like you think you should have to give it to him. A true boyfriend that loves you would be sweet enough to only have sex with you if he knew you were ok with it and thought you were completely ready and wouldn't pressure you into it or tell you things like if you didn't give it to him he'll break up with you and stuff like that. That's just immature and inconsiderate. A true boyfriend would wait until you know you're ready no matter how long it takes. Also if he really loves you it won't matter what you look like naked because being attracted to someone is so much more than just the way they look; it's emotional attraction as well. As for the pain part, there is no way i could tell you how bad it will hurt, but I am willing to bet that the ensuing pleasure is worth the trade off, so don't be too scared :) I hope i helped some, good luck with your future relationships.

    It's especially normal to have reservations if you've never even had a boyfriend or kissed a guy.

    I'm a 19yr old virgin and came really close to losing it with my ex but I was so scared that my "equipment" was working rite. Idk what sex is like so I can only say that if ur that scared then u shud wait. Don't feel like u shud do it if u feel pressured. As far as being skinny,don't worry about that cuz I'm sure ur a whole lot more beautiful than ur givin urself credit for.

  • im a boy and have only a few months ago lost my virginity but i did it with someone i barley new and wasnt even dating because i felt pressured into doing it by my friends and now looking bk i do regret it, its normal for a girl to be nervous and yeah it will hurt but it will hurt more if your nervous, and heres a hint if your worried about doing something wrong then try and lose it with a virgin cuz chances are he wont have a clue what hes doing either :P

    It's normal to be nervous about something you've never dine before even if you know people who gave done it. And from what I remember sex hurts a little but but not a lot

    Why ??? I don't get why you think that way, Is it because you don't know what your doing, I guess it can only be taught through experiance or watch a little porn learn the basics :)

    for your first time find a guy with a tiny dick and use loads of lube and then gradually work you way up to huge dicks and no third party lubrication over time

    so...guess it isn't normal to just flat out be afraid and just not want it? Any time someone tried to make advances on me I flipped out and avoided them. I just...don't ever want to go through with it...kinda think it's stupid...=/

    it doesnt hurt that much. for me it was mostly being sore the naxt day and that hurt about as much as haveing a mild sun burn. its not that bad and if you tell the guy he will probably be alittle extra gental at first.

    This is completely normal. I was nervous before I lost my virginity 4 months ago. I was with my boyfriend so i trusted him and it made me feel a little better about it. It was nice because he wasn't a virgin so he knew what he was doing and kind of took over. For me it did hurt a lot and i bled a fair amount, but it varies from person to person. I would make sure that you're wet enough first or else it'll hurt even more. For me, it wasn't really pleasurable until about the fifth time or so. I like it more for the emotional connection I feel than only the physical part. Also make sure he uses a condom and that it STAYS on because something happened with us and I had to take plan B which was not cheap and messed up my periods.

    Sex is wonderful, just make sure that the person you give your virginity to deserves it. Because you'll have that memory forever.

    Very Very normal to feel scared and insecure. It is ok. Now when you do get a boyfriend and you do end up having sex i recomend protection first and foremost. Then ofcorse not to think about it when you are doing it. Just feel how good it feels when you are being touched and stuff. As long as you stay relaxed and keep breathing you will be fine. :)

    Of course it's normal. Most virgin people feel that way specially girls. Don't worry too much about it. Just do it when get the feeling that you want it. Everything is going to be all right. And don't feel bad about the fact that you are skinny some guys love skinny girls and consider that hot and sexy. Just enjoy everything you do without thinking to much on what will happend next

    sex is a scary subject for most people the first time it will hurt but after that it gets better. my advise wait until your in a loving relationship with someone who cares for you. you can only lose it once dont make my mistake. i had group sex with my friends while on a drunken weekend away. also use a condom:D

    that is actually very normal. Before i had sex for the first time i was scared to death and the first time i had sex it was actually kinda awkward, and it does hurt, but not that much and only for a few seconds, but don't give up on your first time beause of that it will get better and it won't be as awkward

    first of all, wait till marraige. best path to take that way you'll know he will make sure you are comfortable. it will hurt the first time or so. but i think its normal to be nervous.
