How Can I Get Over My Fear of Tampons?

i'm scared of tampons! is this going to slow me down from starting my sexual life?

Dear CD,

The answer is YES! If you're afraid of tampons, you certainly are not going to be ready for any kind of partnersex whatever you think that might be. To start your "sexual life" I'd recommend getting my book Sex for One: the Joy of Selfloving. The first step is having sex with yourself to learn what you like before you turn your body and sex organ over to some poor boy who knows as little or less than you do. It's called, "The blind leading the blind." Also read "First Time Orgasm" on my website by using our search engine. You sound very young. Until you can give yourself an orgasm and penetrate your vagina with your finger, hold those boys off. And need I remind you of the importance of birth control and practicing safe sex? I bet I do. So educate yourself before moving ahead. A sexlife is a terrible thing to waste, but it begins with you, not another person.
