Me and my guy planned the day I was gonna lose my virginity. We didn't plan what would go on, but the date was set. And I didn't think it added any pressure to me or anything. *shrug*

But anyways, on topic here, I don't know if there's really any pointers to give but your first time will always be memorable.
Just take it slow and as others stated, use protection.
Don't rush into it and if you feel any discomfort, be sure and let him know. The more caring he is for you, the more memorable it will be, atleast it was in my case.
Anytime I told him to stop, he did. Even when I didn't tell him to, he could still see that I was in pain and it wasn't comfortable to me so he stopped and we tried some other stuff.

And a spermicide!!! Preferably with nonoxynol-9.

Just remember to have fun and not worry about it being perfect.

i got one suggestion.. don't plan a day for you to loose your virginity, it just usally puts pressure.. and doesn't happen.. but only thing you plan is your condoms keep them around or make him keep one with him or something at all times.. but other than that dont plan girl!

but.. i duno what you can do to make it better, maybe get some lube, so its a bit easier.. for him to enter or whatever.. all i can suggest is.. do it when your comfortable..and want to. Also sorry to say, but you probally will be disapointed... LOL it USALLY isnt that "great" but really it is.. if you love the person and connect with them.. but it isnt usally gonna be all orgasms and stuff at first.
