How do I help my boyfriend with his shyness?
Basically me (20F) and my boyfriend (20M) have been dating for 3 months now and last week we started hanging out in his place because he lives alone basically.
We're both really shy, also our last partners were more active so neither of us are used to be active, let's say we're both passive... I can be more active the more time I spend with someone because I start gaining confidence and getting more comfortable, but now it's a bit awkward because we don't really know what we should do.
We have made out a lot and some touching over it yk... Last day we tried to go further but he was so nervous he was basically shaking and he wasn't even hard... I let him grope my breasts and stuff and he eventually got hard, but it's so strange... It's the first time this has happened to me... I want him to be a lot more comfortable and a little more active in bed.... I don't really mind being the active one but I need tips on that too TT help does he like me?? Can I help him somehow?? Is this normal?? How do I become more active?
