Tips for a virgin woman to ease out first-time sex pressure

First-time sex pressure is real. Some may get really excited and not feel a thing because they've been looking forward to getting intimate with their lovers. But for many, it can get really stressful to just think about it. If you're a virgin woman who has finally decided to take the big step and indulge in sex with your partner, here are some tips that can help you ease out the pressure.

- Lubrication is important: You can either depend on nature lubrication through lots of foreplay before intercourse or buy a water-based product that helps to ease out the pain. Lubrication is definitely important each time you have sex with your partner, but especially when it's your first time. It helps the intercourse session easier for you and less painful during insertion of the penis too. This is one reason why condoms are coated with a greasy stud which helps in making the insertion easy.

- Be ready to feel pain: There's no other way to say this, you are going to feel some pain when it's your first time having sex. You should be well-aware of the sexual techniques you are going to be subjected to since it's your first time. So, before you get on with it, mentally prepare yourself to feel some sort of first-time pain during intercourse. But don't overthink that thought because it's going to get pleasurable soon after.

- It may bleed when your hymen breaks: Now, this totally depends on person to person. Some women won't feel a thing and won't bleed as much as they think they would when they have sex for the first time. Also, know that if there's no hymen break, you could still bleed a little for it is your first-time intercourse. Since you're a virgin, bleeding is bound to happen, but there's nothing to stress about it. Sometimes, it's not even noticeable.

- First-time orgasm: You might be looking forward to getting a good orgasm during your first-time sex with your partner. But don't have high expectations as chances of experiencing an orgasm are very few. Even if you don't get an orgasm, accept the fact that you've still had sex for the very first time and that is a bigger highlight. You will experience an orgasm once you and your partner get more comfortable with each other and know things that can turn each other on to get you to orgasm.

- Consistent bleeding for few days: If at all, you keep bleeding consistently for a few days after your first-time sex, don't panic. Talk to an expert. And if you see anything more than a bit of spotting in your underwear or scant traces when you pee, you must reach out to your gynecologist.
