[I]In response, I am in the same boat. Full of answers to many of my questions. I'm the only one out of all of my friends that remained a virgin. I think about it a lot now. I've read up on everything about sex from books to my friends to sites like this one. I really do feel like I know alot. I am very informed, I'm just inexperienced. I know I'd know what i was doing. But then its like there is just sooo much to rmember from other's experiences. where's mine going to fit in? Will it hurt, will I bleed? will it keep hurting? will I keep bleeding? Will i have to resort to a dr b/c of certain complications?? Sometimes I wonder why I even waited this long. It seems I've only gotten more nervous about it as time has passed. I AM ready, yet nervous. Also, before I even think about getting intimate, I want to talk to my doctor about forms and methods of birthcontrol. I think its the right thing to do before my v-card expires. Sex is a huge risk and certain consequences can be avoided. I would just like to know what anyone thinks about this. (comment!) But I guess first-timers can only know when their time comes. I learned alot from this site and from all of the helpful members' advice. Thank you so very much. It great to know that there are ppl out there willing to spend time informing the uninformed. Keep up the good work! Hopefully I'll be giving great advice as well.

thanks.
