If you gave a random boy the keys to a spaceship and told him to go and blow up some evil aliens, he'd probably want to run to the toilet for a poo. Kissing and sex are a bit like that.
The idea of cruising around in a rocket and nuking nasty green men sounds ace, but if you've never done it before it's just… well, scary. You probably wouldn't even be able to get the thing started… and if you did, you'd no doubt crash and burn in embarrassing fashion. People would laugh at you and say you were the worst spaceman ever. No thanks, we'll stick to watching Doctor Who for now.
In this way, girls are very much like spaceships. A fine-looking piece of kit… but how the hell do you turn it on? Kissing and sex are enticing and petrifying to boys in equal measure… especially if we haven't done them before. Not that you're likely to find a lad who tells you he's never ragged a girl. But even if we brag about how brilliant we are, most of the time we're trembling inside.
If we do have some experience, it still takes a while to acquire confidence… plus there's more pressure on boys to know all the ins and outs, so to speak. Rest assured that until we've taken that spaceship to heaven and back, we worry just as much as you about how to ride it.
