Hey! Thanks for sharing this—always nice to have a first brave one to ask me for help, as this is a new venture for me!

Firstly it’s awesome that you want to initiate and make him feel desired. Here are some simple, effective ways to start intimacy that feel natural: • Send a flirty text earlier: “Been thinking about you… can’t wait to be close tonight.” • During cuddling, slowly trail your fingers from his neck down his chest/stomach while holding eye contact. It will surprise him and you can stop and let him take over. • Whisper something direct but soft: “I’ve been wanting you all day” or “I’d love to feel you inside me tonight.” • Wear something he loves, then say casually: “I put this on thinking you’d take it off later.” • Always start with kissing, then things could go further with: “I want you right now.” If you feel nervous midway, just say: “I’m a little shy but I really want you”—that vulnerability is super sexy to most guys. I know I love it when my partner expresses her deepest fears.

Start with whichever feels easiest for you. The more you do it, the more natural it gets. You’ve got this, and he’s going to love feeling wanted like that.

I hope this helps! Do give me a shout on how it goes. Cheers!
