Guy I experimented with was so reassuring while we explored. He kept telling me to touch him if it helped me get comfortable, but I was so nervous about getting too close while we were changing positions. Is that normal?

He could tell I wasn’t sure where to hold or grab while we were changing positions. I was worried he’d get annoyed if I held onto his shoulders or arms just to keep my balance or get comfortable.

He wasn’t bothered at all. He kept telling me to hold onto him, and he’d guide or move me if I needed it. I just didn’t want to seem too handsy if he wasn’t comfortable with it.

Is that kind of nervousness normal, or was I just overthinking it?
