"All my friends have said that their first time were awful. What can I do to make it enjoyable?"

Both men and women are afraid of losing their virginity, as it represents an important change in you.
Don't panic, your first time is never going to be the best! And it certainly won't have any bearing on the rest of your sexual career.

The most important thing to remember is that the vagina must be properly lubricated, so don't rush things. Make sure your partner knows you are a virgin, so he enters you carefully.
Wait until you really want to have sex, don't just do it becasue you have reached a certain age, or because everyone else is doing it. It has nothing to do with how old you are, more how much you want to do it, so wait for the right time, (if not the right person).

The missionary position is best for your first time, as you can easily guide his penis in with your hand and wait for the right moment. This position will allow you vaginal muscles to relax too, being too tense could cause pain or discomfort.
