First time for both of us– How can I make him feel comfortable?

Hi everyone,

My boyfriend and I are planning to be intimate soon. It’s the first time for both of us, and I want to make sure he feels relaxed and doesn't feel any pressure to "perform" or know everything.

Since it’s a new experience for him too, what can I do to make him feel comfortable and happy? Men of this sub, what would you appreciate from your partner in this situation?

Thanks!

A few simple tips for you:

Keep talking: Just whispering "I'm happy we're doing this" can settle his nerves.

Don't expect perfection: It might be a little clumsy, and that’s perfectly fine!

Show him it’s working: If you like something he’s doing, tell him. It builds a guy's confidence instantly.
