That really is natural. The good thing is, it was consensual. The fact that you were the initiator in the long run will make it much easier to reconcile.
With regard to where do you go from here...nowhere and everywhere. On the one hand, your relationship has changed - even if you never sleep together again, you can never go back to NOT have slept together. On the other hand, you are now free to explore your likes and dislikes...you are no longer at the mercy of other peoples' anecdoctal ramblings.
Take your time - the fact that you've done this doesn't mean you fast forward to wanton sex kitten. Remember, its your body. Now you get to deal with the part that isn't covered in the owner's manual.
We ALL view this passage with mixed emotions...it is both desired and shunned.
We have been taught as children, girls, women...to believe in a set of values that are NOT truly our own. They are the values of the ones that love us, surely..but they are their values.
Now you have crossed the bridge that will allow you to really form you OWN values. They may be the same, similar, or very different...but they wil be YOURS.
Oi how to say it...I hope you enjoyed it. and I'm glad for you, this will be the hardest part,trying to figure out the "what next?" that usually follows in any relationship. If you need us, we're here *HUGS*
That was three months ago Nighthunter, I expect she's lost it beyond redemption by now. Though I don't recall ever hearing more on the topic . . . hmmmm.
Hey baby. You know me - so you'll know when I say this that it is not meant to be....
crass, but.....
Finally! And congradulations! To your bf too.
And yes, all explained above is normal as can be.
It will all pass and it will pass sooner than later if.......
You do it again.
Play it safe for sure but enjoy it. It's a wonderful time for you. Yeah, all "that baggage" - particularly your parents baggage - I do understand.
But as you allready know - what they don't know won't hurt them. So be careful and enjoy the mement - don't let the vultures of antiquated quilt ruin it all.
Don't rush - take your time - but my strong hunch is that once you two "practice" a couple of times - those vultures will fade into the background.
