You can never prepare for your first time, so stop watching all of those movies and flipping through the Kama Sutra, they won&#8217;t help. Which is good, believe it or not! Experiencing a &#8220;first&#8221; is supposed to be new and unfamiliar, you&#8217;re meant to be surprised and you&#8217;re not meant to be totally prepared for it. However, I think these truths about losing your virginity are important to know before you seal the deal.<\/p>\n<h2>1. It Tends To Be Hella Awkward, But Also Exciting<\/h2>\n<p>Losing your virginity is awkward and exciting because it&#8217;s completely new. The moment before it happens is really exciting, because you&#8217;re a bit nervous but really turned on. However, newness usually comes with awkwardness, unfortunately. Especially if you&#8217;re both virgins. I mean, just figuring out how to position yourselves is awkward when you&#8217;re both virgins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<h2>2. It May Hurt<\/h2>\n<p>Yep, sorry girls. Saying goodbye to your virginity can hurt like a bitch. I&#8217;m not saying that it&#8217;s like that for all women and I&#8217;m not saying it&#8217;s doesn&#8217;t feel good <em>at all<\/em> during a woman&#8217;s first time, I&#8217;m just speaking from personal experience. For me, it felt like a really uncomfortable pressure. However, some girls I know were completely fine and didn&#8217;t feel any pain during their first time. It all just depends. If your first time does hurt or feel a little uncomfortable, don&#8217;t worry, once you&#8217;ve had a few practice rounds, it gets much better.<\/p>\n<h2>3. No, Your Hymen Won&#8217;t &#8216;Break&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>A common misconception is that a girl&#8217;s hymen will &#8216;break&#8217; and she will bleed when she loses her virginity. This proves that she&#8217;s a virgin. This notion couldn&#8217;t be any more wrong. First of all, sex may stretch the hymen or may cause a tiny tear or change in the shape, but it doesn&#8217;t really &#8216;break&#8217;, it just stretches. Second of all, it is common for girls NOT to bleed their first time. If they do bleed, it&#8217;s typically a tiny amount of blood and it might not even be coming from the hymen. Tiny splits can happen in other parts of the vagina. So don&#8217;t worry, your sheets won&#8217;t look like that scene from <em>&#8216;The Shining&#8217;.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>4. It&#8217;s Not Like It Is In The Movies<\/h2>\n<p>This can be seen as a good thing and a bad thing. You know how in movies a guy loses his virginity and he only lasts 3.4 seconds and the girl bleeds a lot cause her hymen&#8217;s been ripped open. Thankfully, it&#8217;s not like this at all. Unfortunately, it&#8217;s most likely not going to be some magical experience like in <em>&#8216;The Notebook&#8217;<\/em> either. To be safe, get rid of any pre-conceived ideas you have about losing your virginity, based on movies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<h2>5. It Will Change Your Relationship<\/h2>\n<p>When you lose your virginity, your relationship is bound to change. It can bring you closer to your partner because you&#8217;ve shared such an intimate experience, especially if you&#8217;re both virgins. You never forget your first time, so you&#8217;ll always remember that moment together. However, losing your virginity can also make things weird. Not necessarily in a bad way, it just feels different. It&#8217;s a change for your relationship and for you personally, going from having no sex life, to having one. It can raise a lot of questions for you, but these can be answered through good communication with your partner. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<h3>Finally, it&#8217;s so important to make sure you&#8217;re ready when you do choose to lose your virginity.
