I am 18 and still haven't done the deed. I have been wanting to do it for a while now but I don't know how, i'm single and I really don't think anyone I know would want to try. This may come off as weird but I really feel like i'm being kept out of the loop.

Hi Pavonis!

This question isn’t weird! It’s normal to be curious about having sex, and who you want to have it with (it’s also normal not to want to have sex). You say you “still” haven’t had sex, but I want to reassure you that there is no timeline to have sex, either! Sex is most enjoyable when it happens without feeling pressured by any expectations (societal, your own expectations, other).

Do you mind expanding on your question about not knowing how to have sex? There is more information about the specifics of having sex under “Doing the Deed” in this article, First Intercourse 101.

Also, what do you mean by you “don’t think anyone you know would want to try”?
