I haven’t had a physical encounter with a man in a decade. That changes tomorrow.
I am a 40 year old woman who has not slept with or had a relationship for over 10 years. The reasons for that are irrelevant, but it was a deliberate choice…until now.
I met a guy I really like and he seems to think I’m pretty great. He has not put any pressure on me at all since we started talking.
Tomorrow we are going to spend the day together entirely alone for the first time. Considering we both want it to happen, I’m very sure tomorrow will be the day.
Birth control is not an issue as I lack the necessary organs for pregnancy. I’m not concerned about STI’s since he verified (with lab testing) that he is clean.
My concern is really rather stupid. Has anything changed where f-ing is concerned in the last decade that I should know about? Have things changed when it comes to making love nowadays?
How can I help myself be a touch less anxious about this? Is there anything new I absolutely need to know about before taking this step?
I have a genuine fear of embarrassment in the bedroom and I just kind of need some encouragement, I guess.
Netizens’ comments
- You’re going to be just fine. Take things at whatever pace you are comfortable with, communicate, and enjoy yourself and each other. Hopefully this will be the first of many encounters and you’ll have a chance to give each other plenty of pleasure.
- The only change I’ve noticed is that things are less taboo these days but that has been steadily happening for the past 60 years.
- Step-family roleplay are kinda in nowadays.
- (OP) I am too old for this s-t
- I wish I could tell you nothing has changed, but that hasn’t been my experience. I’m 37 and I got back on the scene after a 5 year relationship earlier this year. I don’t know how to really explain how it’s felt other than like being a fish out of water. I even felt that way when I got back on the scene in 2017 after I had broken up with my previous boyfriend of like 6 years.
- I think a big thing though is how old is this guy? If he’s younger (and even if he isn’t), I’d say maybe (definitely) have a talk about things you are in to.
