    Depends on why you are scared...is someone pressuring you to have sex? if so wait until you are comfortable...but if you are afraid of diseases and/or becoming a teenage father then there are alot of resources including parents, guidance counselors, local clinic, friends who could help you with that...you never mentioned if it was with male or female so that may be an area you want to look into and see where the fear is coming from but fear and anxiety will kill the mood or the first encounter so be sure you are calm and ready when you do have sex for the first time...but you are normal and time is still on your side so take your time...

    well im a girl who is a little afraid, but dammit, i have a good reason for that. you're not getting a large, hard thing shoved into a tight crevice in your body.

    It depends, you could possibly be Asexual or you could possibly be Grey-A Sexual.

  • Well thisis how I see it. Girls that are still virgins I understand that they may be scared cause if their human is intact, it can break and bleed and hurt. For a guy his first time, the girl pretty much relies on him to do everything. If your with someone your not opened to much, your scared she will judge you for your penis size. Some guys are so stressed that their first time can last 20 seconds. So yeah I understand why you can be scared but don't worry about it.

    Yeah, fear of the unexpected. Plus the pressure on people under 18 to have sex doesn't help. That is if you are a virgin

    Maybe it's because you're worried you won't be AWESOME the first time round.
    No-one is.

    What the heck is a grey-a sexual? I've seen you say that twice now. The first time, I thought it was a typo.
