It\u2019s not only missing that person and taking time to heal emotionally, but also open yourself to getting to know and date new people. When sex comes into the equation, things are even harder. Let\u2019s be real, the mere fact of being naked means to be vulnerable, and also requires a certain degree of trust in your partner, even if it\u2019s a one-night stand affair. Having sex with someone new, although exciting, can be scary and plain weird. And, since it varies for every person, there\u2019s no set formula you can follow to make things less awkward, but there are definitely some steps you can follow to make the experience more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<h2>1) Wear Comfy Clothes<\/h2>\n<p>Not just clothes, but also your undies. Wear a fresh pair, something you feel comfortable wearing and, if you feel like, something sexy as lingerie. This will make you feel confident and also desirable. You can use those long-forgotten bralettes or panties you bought a long time ago but hadn\u2019t had the chance to use.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2>2) Make Yourself Beautiful<\/h2>\n<p>Self-confidence is always sexy. Start with the right foot and groom yourself so you can feel hot, beautiful and confident. This won\u2019t pass unnoticed by your partner and will lead to a rewarding sexy session.<\/p>\n<h2>3) Say Yes to Making Out and Foreplay<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t rush things. When having sex with someone new, there\u2019s this pressure of getting everything right. But try to slow down. Making out is perfect for setting the mood and helping you and your partner to relax. Sometimes you might be tempted to go for a quickie, but it\u2019s nice to have a long make-out session followed by hot foreplay.<\/p>\n<h2>4) Speak Up!<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t be afraid to speak up. If you think things are moving too fast or if what your partner is doing doesn\u2019t feel right, say so. If they\u2019re doing something you are really into, say so as well. Remember you are there to have a good time, and sometimes silence can jeopardise that.<\/p>\n<h2>5) Try Not To Bring THAT Person To The Conversation<\/h2>\n<p>Nothing makes things weirder than bringing exes into the conversation. Maybe you are just trying to let them know what works sexually for your and a certain name slips out, but you should try to avoid that. Just put yourself in the shoes of that person; you wouldn\u2019t want to be compared to somebody else. It\u2019s a punch to self-esteem and confidence and a total turn-off.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2>6) Relax<\/h2>\n<p>The last thing you want when you\u2019re about to have sex is to be stressed out. It\u2019s not an exam, it\u2019s not a driving test; it\u2019s all about enjoying yourself and your partner. Do whatever relaxes you before the meeting, do some yoga, listen to music, watch Netflix or anything that takes your mind off it. If it\u2019s a totally spontaneous hook-up, the best thing to do is to take deep breaths and remember the person in front of you might be as nervous as you are. You can also tell your partner to stop, and they should understand. If not, be ready to say bye.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2>7) Use Protection!<\/h2>\n<p>An obvious one and probably something a parent would say to their teenage child, but it doesn\u2019t mean it is less important. Always bring protection with you, don\u2019t rely on your partner to bring protection. And, if none of you is prepared, the best thing is to delay sex for later, no matter how much of a turn-off the idea is.<\/p>\n<h2>What do you think about having sex with someone new?
