Question
i'm 20 years old, and i had sex for the first time a few days ago. i'm in a stable relationship, and i love and trust my boyfriend very much. but after we were done, i started crying, and i had no idea why. is this normal?

Sexual intercourse is an emotional thing and this may have been perfectly normal for you - if you were otherwise happy, no worries. If it happens again or you think maybe you were not ready and those were tears of sadness, then talking to a counselor might be a great idea.
