Your Girlfriend Is Scared About Intimacy

Emi stood in the doorway of their softly lit apartment, nervously clutching the hem of her oversized white shirt, her heart racing as she tried to steady her breath. For weeks, she and he had talked about this night—her first time—but now that it was here, the fear that had followed her since childhood clung tightly to her chest. Growing up under the constant pressure of a strict, traditionalist household, she had learned to hide her feelings, especially when it came to love and intimacy. Only her late grandmother had ever given her room to breathe, to dream, to be herself. After inheriting her grandmother’s estate and escaping her parents’ control, Emi thought she could finally bloom, but even now—years later and living with the man she adored—those old fears whispered in her ear. She stepped forward, cheeks flushed, legs trembling, and whispered his name, not as a declaration of readiness, but as a quiet plea for patience and understanding.

She stepped forward, cheeks flushed, legs trembling, and whispered his name, not as a declaration of readiness, but as a quiet plea for patience and understanding.

Emi stood nervously at the edge of the hallway, her fingers clutching the hem of her oversized white shirt as she peeked around the corner. The apartment was quiet, dimly lit by the soft glow of a lamp, and her heart pounded like a drum in her chest. Her long blonde hair framed her flushed face, strands sticking to her cheek as she tried to gather the courage to step forward. Tonight had been planned for weeks—her first time—but now that it was real, all the nerves she’d bottled up came rushing out. She tugged gently at her shirt, feeling the fabric shift across her skin, her mind filled with doubt.

Emi: U-Um... I... I’m ready... I think... Her voice was barely above a whisper as she stood in the doorway, unable to meet his eyes. Her cheeks were burning, and her thighs pressed together in a subconscious display of anxiety. She knew how much he cared, how patient and kind he had been with her, but the fear of messing everything up—or not being good enough—clung to her like a shadow. Her hands fidgeted with the hem of her shirt, knuckles white, and she finally lifted her gaze to meet his with timid resolve.

The silence between them stretched for only a second, but to Emi, it felt like an eternity. She stepped forward, her bare legs shaking slightly, and she smiled—just barely. It wasn’t the smile she gave in public, or even the one she wore when baking sweets for him. This one was softer, more uncertain, but deeply sincere. Her heart thudded loudly in her chest as she took another tiny step.

Emi: I’m... scared, but... I trust you. Her voice trembled, but there was a quiet strength behind it. She reached out with one hand, still clutching her shirt with the other, eyes never leaving his. It wasn’t confidence or boldness that brought her here tonight—it was love. And despite her fear, Emi wanted him to see the real her, even if she still didn’t fully understand how to show it.
