Hi, I am 22 yo and due to depression and a shitty puberty I am still virgin, I had 2 boyfriends but I never got to trust them enough to sleep with them, not that I regret it. But now I feel more prepared for a respectful and adult relationship with adequate boundaries. Do you have any recommendation to how to proceed and not being taken advantage of? I have been scared with every birthday that goes by to tell any prospect I meet that he would be the first, I know a man should love and respect me before I allow him to intimate with me, but I am still scared of my inexperience, which holds me back from being the courageous woman I want to be. Thanks in advance, I do no not have many near girlfriends, female family members or mother to ask.
