I need some advice.

On Saturday night, Steve is taking me out and apparently we're going dancing but I don't know anything more than that.

He and I are both very shy and quite old-fashioned (but I suppose time is relative here) so I need some advice about... sex.

My mother died long before she could tell me about such things so I'm asking advice here. What is a woman's... role? I know mechanics of course and I've heard gossip but it would be nice to have some honest truth from real people.

More specifically, how do I know that we're both ready for such a step forward? I don't want to risk ruining things.

The woman's role is whatever you want it to be. If you want to make the first move, go right ahead. You'll have to trust your gut on wheat her or not you're ready. And honestly, he's the only one that can decide if he's ready or not. But I would say if you are, make a move and see what happens. But be understanding and supportive if he's not ready yet. Let him know that you really are okay waiting. That you'll let him make the first move after that. You also might want to consider birth control. I know it didn't exist in your time but it does now and it's a really good idea. ~~for those who can actually get pregnant~~

	I think I am ready but I'm not certain about Steve. He seems so distant from me sometimes, I wonder if he'll ever be ready for more. And whether you believe it or not, we had condoms and diaphragms during the war. Mix homesick men and female officers and there was a genuine need. Not that I ever was mixed up in that sort of thing... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, but you didn't have the pill. That came along about 20 years later. Have you talked to him about it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not yet. I'm a little scared to. Because of his... enhancements... he's very wary of his strength ~~and size~~ around me; I know he holds back a lot of his strength. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And he's afraid if he loses control he could hurt you. That makes sense. I could talk to him if you want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know if that's a good idea. He might be hurt if he thought I'd been gossiping or something along those lines. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That makes sense. He's a sweet guy. I'm sure if you talk to him it'll sort everything out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thanks for the advice :) I'll talk to him (Reply to this) (Parent)
