Yes, this could be a result of nervousness with a new partner.
Try and slow down the pace with activities that do not lead to intercourse. If intercourse is out of the question for a while this may reduce your anxiety while you can still participate in sensual activities such as massage, cuddling, kissing or petting.
When you’re ready to give intercourse another try, remember to firstly have lots of foreplay until you are both in the mood. Also, you could try using lubricants such as K.Y. or the new K.Y. warming or lubricated condoms.
