We asked the BuzzFeed Community to share their experiences having sex for the first time after waiting until marriage. Here are their responses:

"After the reception, we went back to our hotel room and watched TV to relax. Once we started to get intimate, I realized we had never turned off the TV, so the soundtrack to our first time was Home Alone 2. As for the sex itself, it was very sweet and slow. Aside from the UTI I got afterward (I blame my mom for not telling me to pee after sex), I wouldn't change a thing."

12. The instruction manual.

"My husband and I read a book called Under the Sheets that was super helpful, so we knew what we were getting into. We did a lot of foreplay, which made it easier for him to penetrate me. It wasn't the best, obviously, because we had no experience, but at least we both felt safe and not judged."

"My husband was EXTREMELY sheltered, so he had no clue what he was about to see. I was a virgin and was really scared of being in pain. The sex lasted two seconds. I remember thinking, This is it? For the rest of my life? My husband, on the other hand, thought it was amazing. We've been together for six years now and have fortunately gotten much better at it."

"We had sex for the first time a week before our wedding. I basically jumped him and said, 'I'm so horny - we need to have sex right now or I'll die.' He laughed and said, 'I thought it's supposed to be the guy who says that.' We then got the lube, vibe, and dildo that we'd bought for the honeymoon, and everything went fine. I had so many orgasms that I passed out."
