First time sex experiences and common mistakes couples encounter

Hi everyone, recently we talked about how to prepare for your first night. This time, let’s discuss the most common awkward moments and mistakes people experience during their first sexual experience.

These are the embarrassing situations that almost always happen during first-time sex, as well as the unforgettable happy moments that stay with you for life.

First Time Sex Is Never Perfect: Too Nervous, Losing Erection, Going Into the Wrong Place

Among the men we interviewed, most admitted that their first time was far from perfect. Sex is not something taught in school, and when it comes to such an important moment, feeling nervous is completely normal.

Almost everyone remembers their first sexual experience as a moment filled with racing heartbeats and confusion. Some people panic because they cannot find the right entrance, while others freeze when seeing their partner naked for the first time, completely losing their usual flirting skills.

One unforgettable story shared with sFun HK involved someone saying, “I went into the wrong hole, and my partner didn’t say anything until it was over.”

For many women, their first time can also be clumsy and confusing. Some genuinely believed this was what sex was supposed to be, not realizing they were actually experiencing anal penetration. For many, this kind of memory becomes something they never forget for the rest of their lives.

That said, sFun HK strongly recommends doing proper research before your first sexual experience. Understanding your own body and your partner’s anatomy can prevent unnecessary embarrassment. Many people simply don’t know basic sexual anatomy, which turns what should be a meaningful experience into an awkward one—unless you actually enjoy getting it wrong.

First Time Trauma: Being Forced or Not Emotionally Ready

Beyond innocent awkwardness, many people in Hong Kong associate their first sexual experience with long-lasting emotional scars.

Youthful impulses, physical arousal, and overwhelming desire often push couples into sex without enough consideration. In the heat of the moment, there may be no time to think, and the relationship progresses faster than either side is ready for.

For many, their first time became a painful memory:

  • Pregnancy occurred, the man refused responsibility, and the woman faced abortion alone.

  • The partner was unknowingly HIV-positive, leading to infection after the first encounter.

  • One party was not mentally prepared and felt pressured into sex.

  • Poor sexual performance resulted in no further contact afterward.

  • No bleeding occurred, causing distrust and endless arguments.

  • No condom was used, forcing emergency contraception and months of anxiety.

The first sexual experience can feel like opening Pandora’s box—irresistible yet dangerous. Young people driven by hormones may chase pleasure, only to face emotional pain and consequences they were never prepared for.

sFun HK emphasizes that both men and women must protect themselves during their first sexual experience. Any sexual activity without consent is illegal. Women have every right to prepare and protect themselves. Love should be mutual—anyone who treats your body as a tool does not deserve your trust. We hope every woman’s first time is shared with someone who truly cares.

Emotional impact of negative first sexual experiences

First Time Sex Can Create a Beautiful Impression of Intimacy

“That night, every detail between us shaped my first impression of sex.”

Despite the painful stories mentioned earlier, most feedback about first-time sex is actually positive. Many people describe their first sexual experience as something they looked forward to and genuinely enjoyed.

“My girlfriend was older and more experienced. She guided me through a wonderful first time.”

Some people may feel awkward during their first sexual experience, but having an experienced partner who patiently guides them can make all the difference. Step by step, they complete a meaningful and pleasurable first intercourse together. This is often why being with a more experienced partner can feel reassuring.

“After that, I fell in love with sex. Every partner since has been satisfied.”

Many people don’t realize how sensitive their bodies can be until after their first sexual experience. Discovering this new side of themselves can lead to a deeper appreciation of intimacy, and a desire to continue improving their sexual skills.

“After my first time, I started seriously learning how to please my partner.”

Experiencing sex for the first time often sparks curiosity about sexual techniques and communication. Wanting to make a partner feel good becomes motivation to actively learn more about intimacy and mutual pleasure.

“The morning after, my partner made me breakfast. That warmth stayed with me.”

Waking up to a lovingly prepared breakfast after first-time sex creates a strong sense of emotional closeness. Moments like these deepen bonds and make intimacy feel safe, warm, and memorable.

Common Questions About First Time Sex

1. What if I feel shocked seeing my partner completely naked for the first time?

Everyone has a different level of comfort with nudity and sex, especially during their first experience. It is normal to feel surprised or overwhelmed. The key is to relax, avoid resistance, and give yourself time to explore and understand your partner’s body. You may notice small details that bring you closer emotionally, helping intimacy feel more natural.

2. Will my partner mind my body hair during our first sexual experience?

Every body is unique, and body hair is a natural part of being human. There is no need to feel ashamed or anxious about it. If your partner shows discomfort or disrespect, it may indicate a lack of maturity and understanding. Your body deserves respect, especially during your first time.

3. How can I tell if my partner truly loves me or just wants sex?

Someone who genuinely cares for you will respect your boundaries, emotions, and pace. If conversations and attention are always focused only on physical intimacy, it may be a warning sign. Take time to observe how your partner treats you outside of sexual situations before deciding to share your first experience.

4. Is it normal to feel nervous or scared before first time sex?

Yes, feeling nervous is completely normal. First time sex involves emotional vulnerability, physical closeness, and unfamiliar sensations. Communicating openly with your partner and creating a comfortable environment can greatly reduce anxiety.

5. Does first time sex always hurt?

Pain is not guaranteed. Discomfort often comes from tension, lack of arousal, or insufficient lubrication. Taking time for foreplay, using condoms and lubricants, and moving slowly can help make the experience more comfortable and enjoyable.

6. Should protection always be used during first time sex?

Yes. Using condoms helps prevent unwanted pregnancy and reduces the risk of sexually transmitted infections. Protection is an essential part of responsible and respectful intimacy, especially during a first sexual experience.
