I’m terrified of losing my vCard. Anytime I get close I get scared and bail and end up ghosting them

Ok so I have advice from a gal who was also scared! I actually did think I was ready and then the first time my bf made a move I kinda freaked out! He was super patient with me and never made me feel guilty for it. When I did lose my virginity, i think what kinda helped was the concept of it not being a big deal. Society has made virginity into this whole big thing that ends up giving us anxiety. Sex can be beautiful, sex can be seriously intimate, and sex can be fun and funny, and also (part 1)

Can you explain what about it is concerning for you?

That’s understandable, genuine intimacy often leaves you pretty vulnerable so if you aren’t comfortable with that you aren’t comfortable with that. Best bet would be to just slowly build a relationship of trust with someone that could eventually lead to that if you would want to. I’m trying to put my thoughts into words but I feel like I’m failing lol but I think my general idea got communicated.

Okay honestly I was the same way where I would psyche myself out about and over think, and it’s not really something that for me personally I was comfortable with just giving away, but when you are with someone who you trust and feel safe with your body is a lot more relaxed and prepared in a way for the intimacy. It’s also important that you are fully comfortable with going through with it. I also noticed that the more relaxed you are the less painful it could be, mine was very minimal pain.

This is gonna sound horrible but I’m more scared I’m wrong about myself than the actual losing it

I’m not entirely sure. It might be insecurity?? I don’t think I’m ugly/unattractive, but whenever I start becoming more intimate with a person i tend to get really uncomfortable and scared and back off

Part two- and also sex can be no big deal. When I lost my virginity I remember being like “oh, ok. That’s no biggie. Why tf do people make it a big thing” Also literally have fun with it- I will burst out laughing in the middle of it and then just dive back in. It’s all about just going with the flow and having communication. ❤️❤️ hope this helps

It sounds like it may be about vulnerability, as in you are exposing yourself (literally lol) to potential judgement. That is a totally natural and reasonable fear to have. Might that be the underlying feeling?

I used to be scared too but I had a great first experience. Just most importantly do it with someone you trust and who you know cares about you and how you feel, RELAX, and also make sure you are prepared for what happens after your cherry pops
