Wow KoolKat! Very good to hear!

I'm very happy it was such a positive experience for you. Just take it slowly and at your own pace. It's wonderful that he kept asking you and went at your speed. Sounds like he could be a keeper!

One thing you may want to try is starting with massage. Massage can help relax you a great deal and get you used to touch. Done with care and love it's a great intro to sex.
