I don’t feel ready to have sex: Is there something wrong with me

No, you are absolutely normal—and just so you know, many people your age feel the same way and choose to wait.

Also, please ignore any “friends” who are telling you that sex is no big deal and that you should just do it and be done with it.

They are wrong.

This is a big deal for you!

The first time you have sex is a moment you are going to remember for a very long time, if not forever.

Sex is not just a physical act; it involves a lot of thoughts and feelings that you need to be ready to handle. 

At the right time and with the right person, sex can be an amazing experience, but if you do it when you are not ready or for the wrong reason such as the fear of losing your partner or the desire to be like your friends, you might regret it.
