Thank you for submitting your question. Sexual intercourse is never something to rush into. It is an important part of our lives, but we should carefully think about whether or not we are ready for it. There is no "right way" to have sex. It is something that you and your girlfriend need to talk about and experience together. You should talk about your expectations, how you are going to protect yourself, and make a commitment to having safe sex. You may not be getting an erection because you are nervous or not ready for this step in your relationship. Think about these things thoroughly before you and your girlfriend decide to have intercourse. Hope this information helps!
