My boyfriend says that he feels uncomfortable doing anything by the way of sexual activity with me because he feels i'm innocent and he doesn't want to 'corrupt' me, or he doesn't want me to regret anything later (he's my first boyfriend/ kiss etc, i'm not his).
i don't want him to do things he doen'st want to or feel akward obviously, but i don't see how things are going to ever get anywhere if he feels like this. We've been together for a year now, and I feel ready to try more things with him, but he always worries i will regret it and he will then feel terrible.
Any advice?
we're both 21

You're definitley old enough to be involved in sexual activity, then, so as long as you feel ready for it, just let him know you aren't a baby any more and he doesn't need to protect you from the big bad world anymore.
How old are you both?
If you're really ready to go further, then let him know. Just talk to him. Tell him something like, "It's really sweet now nice you've been about not pressuring me and making sure I don't regret anything we do together, but I've been thinking for a long time about it and I'm ready to go further. I want you to take me seriously and not act like you have to protect me all the time."
I think if he sees that you are making a mature decision and you are really ready to move onto greener pastures, he'll happily oblige. My guess is that he really cares about you and doesn't want to pressure you in any way or do anything that you will end up disliking him for. Of course, he might not want to do go all the way yet and if that's the case, don't pressure him into anything. Just let him know that you are ready to do more when he is, but there's no hurry.
Also, make sure if you do decide to have sex that you use adequate protection and play responsibly. Good luck! :)
