How Do I Tell My Partner I Am New Without Embarrassment?

 0

Before asking how to tell your partner you're new to sex, you must first ask why you feel embarrassed. Being new is not the issue—the issue is the feeling that you must impress someone.

If embarrassment is your first reaction, it means you are already thinking about how to impress your partner. That is the wrong foundation, because sex is not about impressing someone; it is about expressing desire and connection.

This raises an important question: do you genuinely desire this person? Are you excited about them? Do you feel something you want to express? If the answer is no, and your focus is on impressing them, you will not enjoy the experience.

In fact, you may have “good” sex technically, yet still hate it—not because of the act itself, but because of how you feel about yourself during it. The problem won’t be the sex; it will be the pressure you put on yourself.

So the real work is understanding why embarrassment is front and centre. Once you address that feeling, communicating your inexperience becomes easier, more honest, and far less intimidating.
