17 Facts Nobody Probably Told You About Losing Your Virginity

1. It can be hella awkward. Life isn't like the movies. It's just not, okay? It might not be as smooth as you think it would be, either.

2. You probably won't hit that orgasm point. That's okay. It might take you a few times to get used to this dealy. Besides, it's hard to cum with a condom on. It might not even be good the first time. #RealTalk

3. If you have a penis, instead of a vagina, you might cum really fast.

4. You have to communicate with your partner. They won't magically know what feels good for you.

5. Erectile dysfunction doesn't just happen to old dudes. Don't freak out or think you're broken. You might just feel nervous/pressured/etc.

6. It might hurt the first few times. It shouldn't feel terrible, either. Stop if it is. If it's a little pain, that's expected with penetration. Don't worry, you're not dying. You shouldn't be bleeding buckets, though.

7. Bleeding buckets isn't normal, but there might be blood! It's okay!

8. You're going to have weird or awkward moments, this is normal, and you'll both just laugh about them.

9. If you lose your virginity with someone you love, it's a thousand times better. Sex is physical, but if there's an emotional bond... it's a completely different world.

10. Think about your safety and don't be afraid to do that regularly. You are responsible for your own body and shouldn't rely on someone else to take care of you. Have condoms on you, take birth control, or do whatever else needs to be done to ensure your safety.

13. Pee after sex. Pee after sex! PEE AFTER SEX!... Just pee after sex, okay?

15. The hole might be harder to find than you think... For some people, at least.

16. Porn isn't how sex really works. Take it slow; it isn't a race.

17. There's no right time to have sex. Own your sex! How or when it happens isn't anyone's business. It'll happen when it does, and it won't make you a slut. You just gotta do you, boo.
