First time sex with my girlfriend (19F) and me (20M), both virgins, looking for advice.

Hi everyone,

My girlfriend (19F) and I (20M) have been together for 4 years since school. We're thinking about having sex for the first time soon, and neither of us has any experience—we're both virgins.

We're a bit nervous and want to make sure it's a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for both of us.

What advice would you give two first-timers? Anything you wish you knew before your first time? Any tips on communication, protection, and things to avoid?

Thanks! 🙏
