The Wedding Night

Attention: open in a new window.

If you’re a virgin, the wedding night can often brings concerns. That’s normal. Being prepared, though, isn’t all that difficult. If you’re not so sure about the physiology of the male and female body, pick up a good book and read it through carefully. Many, if not most, of us have misconceptions about sexuality, so being knowledgeable is a wise thing to do.

About two months before your wedding, you should discuss birth control and planning for children together. Then each of you should visit the doctor and get a physical (and the woman should get a pelvic exam and discuss birth control). If either of you have been sexually active, get tested for STDs and HIV.

Finally, talk with each other about your expectations about sex. What do you think are your needs, likes, dislikes, etc.? Share openly and honestly, and be gentle and caring with one another.
