Question
Hello, im an 18 year old guy and recently my girlfriend and i decided that we wanted to take our relationship further into sexual intercourse. Now, im not a virgin, but she is and when i tried to insert into her (after following a few steps i found online) i couldnt! is this normal? or is this a problem? were worried because neither of us have ever heard of this, any help would be appreciated.
Answer
The only way to know for sure what is up, is for her to have an exam. Be a great boyfriend, schedule the exam with her and go to the appointment, too. You can decide what kind of birth control will be the best for you and she can get an exam to make sure everything is fine. Good luck and thanks for caring!
