Is it normal to do this with a childhood friend?

I've been friends with this guy since elementary school and we are now seniors in high school. Last year he dated my best friend even though she knew I liked him, but we were all fine in the end. He is the only guy that I feel comfortable talking to about sexual things. I have fantasizes about losing my virginity to him, but we are not dating and I don't want to date him.

Anyways, last night we sexted through snapchat and it was very enjoyable and he keeps texting me about how I feel, but I feel super guilty about it and I can't talk to anyone about it. I'm not sure how I feel about what happened, but I feel super guilty even though I know a lot of other people do the same thing. He wants to go further with me and I'm ok with that, but a part of me is just so guilty and doesn't really want to continue. I'm not sure why this is bothering me so much! Is it normal to feel this way?

Is It Normal?

    i have been in a similar situation before, it's completely normal to not know what to do when it's someone you've known for so long. I would say to go forward, but to make sure you understand that you might lose your friendship and closeness if you two were to break up. And make sure if you two start going out that he treats you right and you dont give him any passes because you've known him for so long.

    If you are comfortable with him and you obviously are, then this is probably the best way to experiment with the opposite sex. If you don't and you miss the opportunity, then you will always wonder what he was like. He is obviously very gentle. He probably hasn't had any other experience with a girl just like you haven't had any experience with a guy. Go out and see if he feels the same way in person as he does while sexting. You may have to get a little more aggressive. Have fun.

    You two are really close, so go for it. If it goes bad, then you can still be friends, you don't have to change that
