Is it just for sex?

My boyfriend and I will be 2gether for 1 year on the 25th of September. We have not had sex yet (both virgins) but we have been talking about doing it latley. I want there to be an emotional bond and him not want to have sex just because he wants to...

lose his virginity or to "see what it is like" but rather because we both love eachother. what is making me question his motives are such as this: One day I was talking on the phone with him and the subject of losing our virginity came up. we both discussed how we felt about the subject and then he says, "You said you want it to mean something..." And his tone of voice had more of an uncertainty air about it. Could my 'worries' about why he wants to lose his virginity be true?

ALWAYS go with your gut instinct. If your not 100% sure of anything, DONT DO IT! You will NEVER regret having waited, but you will regret it if things dont work out. Sex does change a relationship. You are still young, and if you've been together this long, and things are going great without having intercourse, then why disrupt it? Its really YOUR call!

Girls tend to want the experience to mean something more than guys. Naturally, he doesn't understand.

I would recommend you both just keep talking about it until he can give you a better answer

before sex try oral
see how it feels after doing that and if it feels right move up

:-) thank you all the advice helped but rodeonkk the idea of his member in my mouth gives me the "gross quivers" but I do appreciate all of you answering my question. I forgot to mention we're not as young as you think. (He is 21 I am 20) He is my first love but I do think I am going to wait a while because also I don't want to spend our 1 yr "lyin' on my back" more or less. And again thank you all!
