- A plan
- Some towels
- Some lubricants

Steps
-
Step 1
Choose a partner
Pick the appropriate person to be your partner—you don't want to surrender your precious gift to the first "playa" who smiles your way.
-
If you're embarrassed by your inexperience, choose another first-timer, so you're on equal footing. If you want to make up for lost time, choose an older partner who's "been there, done that."
-
Step 2
Pick a location
Pick a location that will be comfortable and secure for both of you, then make sure it's presentable—nobody likes a skanky love shack.
-
Things could get messy; place a towel or two in strategic locations so you don't lose any momentum when the action heats up.
-
Step 3
Make yourself presentable
Make yourself presentable too—nobody likes a skanky lover, either.
-
Step 4
Wear convenient clothes
Wear clothes that come off easily. Once you get the green light, you don't want anything slowing you down.
-
Step 5
Get birth control & condoms
Get your birth control in order—make sure you have fresh condoms on hand and anything else you may need.
-
You may also want to have some lubricant on hand in case first-time jitters leave one of you high and dry.
-
Step 6
Set the mood
Set the mood—a little atmosphere goes a long way.
-
Step 7
Welcome partner warmly
Welcome your partner warmly; make sure they know they're the most important person in the world to you.
-
If your partner is nervous, tell a bad joke, perform a stupid trick, do anything to make them laugh. If you're nervous, talk about your fears and reservations with your partner—clear the air with some good old-fashioned honesty.
-
Step 8
Pick your moment
Wait until everything's going smoothly and the two of you are really clicking then make your move.
-
Don't try any funny stuff: no sex toys, no crazy positions. You just got the training wheels off, now's not the time to go burning rubber and popping wheelies.
-
Step 9
Take it on home
Now go get 'em, Tiger—it's smooth sailing from here on out.
-
A recent study found that 26% of people between the ages of 75 and 85 are sexually active.
