Hi @Tallboi21 , that sounds very relatable - sometimes the pressure to do things perfectly can stand in the way of enjoying something like sex that is meant to be fun. I'm glad to hear that the girl you were with was understanding, because feeling comfortable and supported (and sometimes even being able to laugh and make jokes) can be really helpful when it comes to navigating sex for the first time and finding your confidence. 

I'm glad to hear that talking things out with family normally helps. I know that some families talk openly about sex and others don't, so I hope you know that if you don't feel comfortable sharing these experiences with your family, we are always here to listen.
