First time sex: what to expect

When people talk about the ‘first time’, they usually mean the first time you have full intercourse. That’s what people mean by ‘losing your virginity’.

But the first time might also mean your first kiss or the first time you masturbate someone or someone masturbates you. Or the first time with your new boyfriend or girlfriend.

Whatever first time it is, it’s something you’ll never forget. It’s exciting and special. That’s why it’s important to make sure it’s something you’ll want to remember.

If you are a virgin or have never had sex with your partner before, it’s natural to be nervous for your first time. But, we’re here to help you out! Here are some tips to overcome those first-time worries.

Learn as much about sex as you can

Have a look at all our information on making love and our tips for first-time sex. The more you know about sex, the less worried you’ll feel!

Talk about it

There are a lot of reasons people might feel uncomfortable talking to their partner about sex. You don’t want to seem too forward. You might not want to seem knowledgeable – even though knowing stuff about sex doesn’t mean you’ve been practising, it just means you’ve done your homework!

The secret to great sex is communication. The more you dare to be open and honest with your partner about your needs and your worries, the more rewarding sex will be for both of you. Take a relaxed moment to discuss fears and concerns so you can go into the night relaxed and prepared.

Get sex education

Depending on your cultural background, you may even get some sex education sessions to prepare you for sex. Along the Kenyan coast, for example, kitchen parties or hen parties are common. Aunties and friends will pass on their knowledge to women when they are preparing to get married.

Start when you feel ready

There is only one person who can decide if you’re ready to have sex for the first time: you. Listen to your own feelings and don’t let yourself be talked into anything.

On average, people have intercourse for the first time when they’re 17 years old.

Relax

Ease the pressure off yourselves. You don’t necessarily have to have sex the first time you are intimate unless you really want to. Make sure to take time to explore and discover each other’s bodies at a comfortable pace. Building it up over days, weeks or months can make it more exciting.
You can also chat to feel relaxed. Talk about how life, food, friends – just some fun stuff.

Take your time

If you feel nervous, be honest. Chances are high your partner feels the same way.
Take it slowly. Don’t rush into anything. Take time for lots and lots of foreplay. Kiss, touch, and caress each other. Make it last. Make each other feel loved. Make sure it’s not rushed and traumatic, but sexy and memorable.

Notice your partner’s body language. Respond to their feelings and moves. If you are confused, afraid, or in pain, tell them gently. You can even ask them to stop until you get more comfortable with each other.

Listen to your feelings

Once you’ve started, you might realise that you actually don’t want to do it. Don’t ignore this feeling. You can always stop, whatever the other person says. Do things at your own pace.

Be clear. If you say ‘no’ but at the same time keep kissing and caressing, your partner won’t be able to tell what you really want.

Pay attention to your partner

You don’t have sex just for yourself – you have sex together. So pay attention to your partner.
Are they enjoying it? Ask.

Are they nervous? Try to reassure them by saying loving things.

Does your partner feel insecure about you seeing them naked? Tell them how gorgeous they are.
Can you tell your partner doesn’t want to go any further? Respect that. You can really enjoy making love without having intercourse.

Talk to each other

The first time you probably won’t know exactly what to do.
Pay attention to the way your partner responds. Do they moan? Do they guide your hand to a particular place? These are signs that you’re heading in the right direction. But often the signals aren’t so clear, so talk to each other about what you’d like to try. Many people find talking about it really arousing too.

Use a condom

Always use a condom. That way you not only prevent unwanted pregnancy but also protect against STDs (sexually transmitted diseases). Most other family planning methods only stop the woman from getting pregnant.

Accidents with condoms are nearly always the result of using them wrongly. So read the instructions carefully and use one to practice. Boys can practise on themselves, and women can practise by putting a condom on a banana.

You can read more about using condoms in the section on birth control.

Don’t pretend to have an orgasm

There’s no rule that says you have to have an orgasm. Don’t pretend to have one: it’s not fair to your partner. Anyway, making love without having an orgasm can be wonderful too.

It’s okay to laugh

The first time you’ll probably both be a bit nervous. You want everything to be perfect and the first time to be amazing, so you might both be a bit tense and serious. But try to keep the mood light. Humour and sex are a perfectly good mix!

Don’t take erection problems too seriously

Don’t make a big deal of erection trouble. Because of nerves and pressure to perform, men can have trouble getting an erection. Guys, go easy on yourselves, it can happen to anyone. Ladies, remember it’s not because he doesn’t think you are sexy. Take the lead, and enjoy the challenge of turning him on. But don’t take it personally if his penis doesn’t respond this time.

Blood (or no blood) is okay

Don’t make a big deal of bleeding – or not bleeding. First-time intercourse might make the woman bleed if the hymen tears. But bear in mind: if she doesn’t bleed, it doesn’t mean she is not a virgin.

Do check out our myths and FAQs about the Hymen and Virginity.

Easy does it

Be gentle. You don’t need to be rough to ‘break’ virginity. It’s possible that the woman might feel some pain the first time (though not necessarily). The way to minimise pain is for her to be as relaxed and aroused as possible, so her vagina is really wet and doesn’t tense up. The vaginal tissue is very tender and can be easily damaged, which can be very painful for the woman.

So comfort her and love her with all your heart. And take plenty of time for foreplay to drive her wild with desire before you move on to intercourse.

Our tips will get you started, but you may still have some questions about having sex for the first time. Keep on reading to get answers to all your queries.

First-time sex FAQ

Does the first time always hurt?
No. If a woman is relaxed and sexually aroused, it doesn’t hurt. If you’re very tense, the vagina can stay dry or may tighten up. This increases the chance of the hymen tearing and intercourse being painful. The first time you’re often excited or nervous, so this can easily happen. But if you both take your time, it doesn’t hurt.

Ways of making love: do you lose your virginity?

  • Masturbating: no
  • Kissing, stroking, feeling, caressing: no
  • Oral sex (stimulating the penis or vulva with your mouth): opinions vary depending on culture and tradition, or from one person to another
  • Anal intercourse (penis in the anus): opinions vary depending on culture and tradition, or from one person to another
  • Vaginal intercourse (penis in the vagina): yes

Do all women bleed when they first have sex?

No. Research has shown that a lot of women don’t bleed the first time. For one thing, your hymen might have been stretched by using tampons or doing sport like horse riding. You might have a very thin or stretchy hymen or have been born without a hymen.

Whether you bleed or not says nothing about whether or not you’re a virgin.

You are less likely to bleed if you take your time making love, you’re relaxed and your vagina is moist, and your partner goes gently. On the other hand, if your hymen is thick and not very stretchy, you might also bleed the second or third time you have sex. That doesn’t make you a super-virgin!

In some families, it’s the custom for a woman to show a sheet with bloodstains after her wedding night. This is supposed to be proof that she was a virgin. The family may think that if she can’t show any blood, she must have had intercourse with a man before. But that’s a misconception.

How can I make sure I bleed the first time?

Some women particularly want to bleed on their wedding night. They might want to convince their new husband they’re still a virgin, when in fact they aren’t. Or they might still be a virgin but are worried their husband will have doubts about their virginity if they don’t bleed.

For all these reasons, women look for ways to make sure they bleed on their wedding night. There are lots of tricks, ranging from pricking or cutting your finger and dripping some blood on the sheet, to using an ‘artificial hymen’. Some women also opt to have an operation to have their hymen ‘restored’.
If you use one of these tricks, remember you’re helping to keep the myth alive that women always bleed the first time they have sex!

        Hi Phylix, 

        Likely not. If it was penetrative sex, then chances are that the hymen was torn. If it was outercouse, chances are that the hymen is still intact. Read about outercourse here: Outercourse: Sex Without Penetration

        Also, you talk about being forced to have sex in childhood. That is child molestation and it should be reported if possible and if the victim wishes to. Also, if you or someone you know has gone through this, it is important to seek counselling services to talk to a counsellot about what happened. These professionals can help in healing.

        Hey, good question. It is always important to use protection when one doesn’t want to get pregnant and to reduce the risk of getting a Sexually Transmitted infection (STI). Condoms, when used correctly and all time can help prevent both unplanned pregnancies and STIs. Have a look at the following articles for more information;-

      Hi Claudia, You don’t have to have sex since your partner is demanding for it if you are not ready for it. Having sex can affect you emotionally and even physically especially if you are not ready and this is not what you want.

      Hi Otieno, ones penis size doesn’t determine which kind of woman to have or be with. Remember, sex is only one part of a relationship. People get into relationships for various reasons including companionship, love and friendship. Think about what you want from a partner and from a relationship before deciding to get into one or even whom to get into a relation with. We wish you well.

      Hi there, You should have sex when you feel like and only if you have sexual feelings for a person. Don’t do it because you have reached a certain age, because of peer pressure, or because it will make your partner happy. This is entirely your personal decision and you don’t have to be forced into it if you do not feel ready regardless of your age. It is however important for one to be mature enough enough to be able to deal with the consequences of having sex. Think about whether you are ready to handle the issues that come up with having sex. Remember, you can always say no if you do not feel ready. Check out the following article;- https://lovemattersafrica.com/making-love/virginity/are-you-really-ready-to-have-sex

      Hi Joe, first non of the products that promise to enlarge penises really work or provide permanent results. The only option that is likely to work is surgery. It is important that you do talk with your partner about what their expectations are about sex. You will find that your partner appreciates quality sex and not just quantity or size, affection and even foreplay. Learn as much as possible about sex but also get to know what your partner wants or enjoys. Check out the following articles for more information;-

      Hello Nicho, Penis enlargement products including creams do not work. There is no evidence that they do work, for this reason we would not encourage you to try using them. Sex is about affection, and you may also find that your partner appreciates longer sessions of foreplay. Do talk to your partner and get to know what they like and enjoy.

      Hey there, there is so much to sex, it is important that you take time to learn as much as you and at the same time talk to your partner and get to know what they like. If it is the first time for both of you, allow yourselves to learn what you both like. Don’t have very high expectations of each other or the experience, allow time for you both to get to learn each other and to also learn what you each enjoy. It will get better with time and with communication between the two of you.

      Hi Bryan, the vagina gets wet when a girl is aroused. Sometimes partners may need to spend alittle more time on foreplay for this to happen. Also, what turns on or arouses one person may not not have the same effect on another, for this reason it is important for partners to talk about what turns them on. Lastly, was she prepared to have sex, did she want to have sex? If one is unwilling or unprepared to have sex, she is like not to get aroused since she doesn’t want it. Talking about sex helps to improve the experience for both partners. You can also consider using artificial lubrication like KY Jelly which can be purchased at a pharmacy. Check out the following articles for more tips;-

      Dear Daisy, bleeding may or may not happen during the first time one has sex after the first time it will not happen again as a result of the hymen being stretched. Remember even when having sex for the first time, one may not bleed and this doesn’t mean they are not a virgin.

      Hi there, is this your fiance or girlfriend? Have you tried to meet her at a location that she is comfortable, one that is not your house or their house? Also, have you asked her why she doesn’t believe you when you tell her its not about sex? I am not able to tell you how to explain to her so she believes you, however, your partner doesn’t seem to be ready to have sex and it is important that you respect this choice. Also, you don’t have to meet at your house, if you do love and respect her meet where she feels comfortable which may include a public space and within time that she is comfortable for you both. We wish you well.

        1. HI Joy, first, the decision…

          HI Joy, first, the decision to have sex is your personal decision. Only choose to have sex if you feel ready to have it, if you feel you are with the right person and if you feel it is the right time. Sex for the first time doesn’t have to be painful, it is important that you are relaxed when having sex and that your partner takes time to prepare you or to get you aroused which will cause the vagina to self lubricate or become wet. This makes intercourse or penetration easier, reduces the discomfort and enjoyable for both partners. Also, should you choose to have sex, remember to use protection. Condoms can help prevent both unplanned pregnancies and Sexually Transmitted Infections. Check out the following articles for additional information;-

      Hi Kedi, it is important that you respect your partner’s choice if she chooses to go through with anything during sex. Phone sex is a great way to fantasize things that you may not be able to do or those things that you may even be scared to do. It may start with phone sex but once you are comfortable with each about about it, you can try it out and see if you will like it as much. Be open to the fact that you may or may not like or your partner may or may not like it, at which point you would have to stop and try something else. Sex gets better when you talk about it open and honestly. Check out the following article;- https://lovemattersafrica.com/making-love/ways-to-make-love/top-10-tips-for-hot-phone-sex

      Hi Eve, painful sex is not normal. It is possible to experience pain the first time because of the stretching of the hymen and if you are not well prepared and relaxed during penetration. After the first time, pain can be caused by dry sex where penetration happens before the vagina lubricates, the sex position, the presence of a infection in the vagina or when one is anxious and not relaxed. Knowing what is causing the pain is the first step toward addressing.

    1. Hi Maggie, so sorry about…

      Hi Maggie, so sorry about this. Sex should be pleasurable and not cause pain. Pain can be caused by a number of reasons including, dry sex where penetration happens before the vagina is sufficiently lubricated. Often, one may have to spend additional time in foreplay or use other artificial lubrication to supplement. Other causes include fear or anxiety that sex will be painful, which makes one not to relax during sex perhaps as a result of a previous experience that was painful, and also the position during sex. The first step is to determine what could be causing the pain to determine an appropriate solution. Most women can experience orgasm but sex should include one of the most sensitive parts, the clitoris. This will increase the chance of one getting an orgasm. It is important however to talk about sex with your partner and share what you enjoy and like as they also share what it is they like and enjoy. This will greatly improve the experience for you both.

    I tried to break virginity of my girlfriend but failed no blood I could not enter what happened?

    1. Dear Don,the hymen is very…

      Dear Don,the hymen is very elastic, so sometimes vaginal sex or even giving birth won’t make it tear. It also is a common misconception that a woman bleeds when the hymen is torn. This isn’t always the case. So if there isn’t any blood when a woman has sex for the first time, it’s doesn’t mean that she isn’t a virgin.
      Again, If a woman is nervous or scared, she unconsciously tenses her vagina. This makes the opening of the vagina feel tight and penetration can be difficult.

      Hi Norah, so sorry about this. Sex for the first time doesn’t have to be painful, though it might be because of the stretching of the hymen. In your case you also seem to anticipate pain based on previous experiences which means every time you try to have sex you are not relaxed which also means your vaginal muscles are not relaxed. This makes penetration difficult and painful. There are ways to try reduce the pain, including trying to relax during sex. Secondly, it is important for you and your partner to spend a good amount of time in foreplay which will get you aroused making your vagina moist and self lubricate, this will make penetration easier and reduce the discomfort. Lastly, communicate during sex let your partner know when you are ready for intercourse or when you experience discomfort.

      Hey Collins, not having sex or abstaining from sex doesn’t make a person gay. It just means you have chosen not to have sex perhaps because you haven’t met the right person or you are not ready for the responsibility that comes with having sex.

      Hey Jolly, so sorry about this. Sex for the first time doesn’t have to hurt. It is important to try and relax including spending time in foreplay to get you sexually aroused, which will help ensure it doesn’t hurt. When aroused the vagina becomes moist and lubricates making penetration easier and pleasurable. If you’re however, very tense, the vagina can stay dry or may tighten up making penetration difficult and painful. Take you time and communicate during sex which can also help you relax. Remember to use protection to prevent unplanned pregnancy and |Sexually Transmitted Infections.

  42. Which are my safe days to…
    Which are my safe days to have sex and not become pregnant?

    1. Hi there, safe days are one…

      Hi there, safe days are one of the most unreliable ways to prevent pregnancy, and we really don’t recommend it at all. When your safe days are really depends on the length of your cycle. Technically speaking, the first seven days before and after your period, as well as the time of your period, are relatively safe. But, if you have a shorter cycle (shorter than 28 days), or an irregular one, this will vary. Also keep in mind that sperm can survive for up to five days and longer inside the body – so even if you have sex on a ‘safe’ day, you can still get pregnant, because the sperm survived until your ovulation date. So you see, it’s a very inaccurate. And lastly, of course this won’t protect you from STDs. Only condoms will. So we really recommend a more reliable method. Check out the following article for additional information;- https://lovemattersafrica.com/birth-control/are-safe-days-safe

    1. Hi Dutchess, what your…

      Hi Dutchess, what your boyfriend experienced is known as Premature Ejaculation, which is caused by a number of reasons including fear, anxiety or stress. Anxiety that one will not perform can make them ejaculate much earlier or stress from home or work. In other cases, particularly in young men it could be the result of sexual inexperience, and so as the young man gets older he also gains more experience in controlling their ejaculation. There are a few things he can do to overcome this, see the following article;- https://lovemattersafrica.com/making-love/sex-problems-how-to-overcome-them/how-to-overcome-premature-ejaculation Overcoming this will take practice and time, and for this reason your boyfriend will need your support and understanding.

  45. How can you know you safe…
    How can you know you safe days?

    1. Hey Molly, safe days are the…

      Hey Molly, safe days are the days that one can have sex without use of contraceptive and still not conceive.The unsafe days are the five days before ovulation (because that is how long some sperm cells can survive in the body) and the day of ovulation itself (because the egg cell is fertile only then). This means six days a month are unsafe, the other 24 are not. The only problem is that ovulation cannot be precisely predicted and they may vary for different reasons including stress or illness, also young girls and older women have irregular periods. So it is first necessary to know how many days-on average-your menstrual cycle is and how regular it is. If your cycle was always precisely 28 days, your first unsafe day is 11 and the last is 18.If  your shortest cycle was 21 days and your longest 33, your first unsafe day is 4 and your last unsafe day is 23. You now understand why this method is not very good if you have irregular periods. And also why it is possible to conceive in the first week, while one is still menstruating. The safest thing is always consider use of a contraceptive if you want to avoid unintended pregnancy.

  76. Hello Donald, thank you so…

    Hello Donald, thank you so much for reaching out and we are sorry you are going through a hard time. First and foremost, your girl friend is very lucky to have a gentleman like you. And it is completely normal to be nervous. The first and most important thing is to communicate with her so she understands that you are simply nervous and not in fact trying to avoid her. Communication is an important part of any relationship. Have an open and honest conversation with your partner.  Also, when it comes to the size of your penis and your fear of hurting her, this is also very understandable, like I said, communication is key, even when you both decide to make love. Take things slow with her, we encourage a lot of foreplay to arouse her as this will stimulate her vagina to become wet. Let her take the lead, ensure to use a condom and use a water based lubricant as an added measure to not hurt her. Water based lubricants are condom friendly and wont damage the latex. For more information, follow this link and good luck buddy! 🙂 Stay safe and have a wonderful week ahead.

    Hello Anonymous, thank you for reaching out to us. We are sorry you are going through such a hard time.
    Communication is an important part of any relationship. Have an open and honest conversation with your partner. Explain how their actions are affecting you and the relationship. Try not to be confrontational because that would put them on the defensive and the resulting conversation would not be productive.  Be ready to listen to their fears and feelings and respond to them as well.

    Please my friend had a sex with her girlfriend without protection in a first time and he was seeking for help. what can he do to prevent pregnancy

    1. Hi Ezekiel, thank you for…

      Hi Ezekiel, thank you for reaching out to us. If they had sex without a condom and it was over 72 hours ago, there really is nothing they can do to prevent pregnancy. If it was less than 72 hours ago, the lady may still take an emergency contraception pill (P2).

    I
    Pls if I want to have sex with my partner first time is it necessary to use condom?
    If yes, can we enjoy it or not?

    1. Hi Agunbiade, thank you for…

      Hi Agunbiade, thank you for reaching out to us. This is really a personal decision. However, it would be best to do so because you are not yet sure about each other’s HIV status. Even if you have had test done, you could be inside the window period. Sex with a condom does indeed mean reduced sensitivity for the male but better safe than sorry.

    Iam feeling very nervous about having sex for the first.As of now iam gonna have sex with avirgin and virgin too.so i have little knowledge about although i have read lots of articles about this?
    Now here comes aquestion,while u having sex and she bleeds do you leave her and end the game

  84. Hi Bruce, thank you for…

    Hi Bruce, thank you for reaching out with your honesty and asking a great question. As long as you both of legal age of 18, can take it slow, listen to each other and are wearing protection (a condom) and are not hurting one another while having sex, then there should be no reason for either one o you to end the game. Why do you ask?

  85. i feel like having sex and…
    i feel like having sex and am 17 is it okay bt am afraid of the pain only

  86. Hello Shaline, thank you for…

    Hello Shaline, thank you for reaching out to us and asking a smart question. Unfortunately, the legal age to have sex is 18 which means you would be breaking the law if you had sex at the age of 17. The best thing to do is wait until you are of legal age before you try alright? Have a wonderful week ahead and stay safe.
