<human>: My girlfriend and I are considering finally having sex for the first time. We are both virgins and we basically have zero experience outside our relationship. I have been a long time sub to r/sex so i have read the ins and outs of many things and i know what to expect before and afterwards except this one problem.

My girlfriend is worried that she will feel guilty about having sex before marriage. She also is worried that she will hate herself if things go wrong.

I have told her it's ok to be nervous (I am too). But what else could i tell her to help calm her down about the subject and realize that at this point in our relationship its important to take this next step?
