How to become more comfortable with my body, sexually. Options

[heatherb16]

So I've been dating this guy for 10 months now. I'm still a virgin, but the more I think about it, I'd like to go further with him, possibly or possibly not, sex. This guy means everything to me and there's no one else I'd rather be with. Well, getting to the point. I'm 16, 5'5'' and around 120 pounds. I've never considered myself fat, or overweight, but slowly, I'm starting to realize, as he and I are getting closer, its very hard for me to be comfortable with my body. Every time we try to do something new, I back off. It's a natural reaction for me, and really, I feel bad for him. It's nothing he is doing wrong, it's my own insecurities with myself. It's not that I feel uncomfortable trying these new things, because deep down I really would like to go further with him. I try to push myself to become secure with my body, but for some reason I can't. Any advice?

This is why the whole mantra of "Before anyone can love you, you have to learn how to love yourself" holds true. From what you've said, the guy seems decent. I'm afraid self-esteem is not something some strangers on a forum can help you with. You'll have to do a little searching yourself my friend.
