A Christian woman who was a virgin up until her wedding night has given her five tips for ‘celibate brides’ to use on their special day.
Alicia, 23, and Josh Tucker, 29, frequently boast about their love for each other and God online.
The Canada-based lovebirds – who tied the knot in 2020 – waited until their wedding night to sleep together.
Now three years later, Alicia has opened up about their first time having sex on their special day and shared the five things she wished she knew at the time.
Five tips for celibate brides on their wedding night
Her first tip was to be open with your partner in the days leading up to the first time you have sex to ease any worries.
She explained: ‘So if you have a little bit of nerves about sex hurting you for the first time, definitely voice that to your fiancé.’
The 23-year-old noted that by being open with your partner, they will be able to ‘support’ you better.
She even suggested taking a shower together before going right into sex to help calm yourself down.
‘Obviously, you don’t need to plan the entire night, let it happen naturally,’ she added.
She noted that her second tip was so ‘practical,’ but not many Christian women knew about it.
What is the importance of going to the restroom after having sex?
Alicia emphasized the importance of going to the restroom after having sex.
‘It’s so important to pee after you have sex,’ she advised.
‘You can so easily get a UTI if you don’t pee after having sex because there are a lot of fluids that happen during sex and if that goes into the wrong area, you can be in a lot of pain.’
For her third tip, she recommended you be prepared to see blood and to bleed if you were a virgin.
She suggested viewers to ‘leave out a towel on the bed.’
Next she said to ‘laugh at the imperfections.’
She explained that things could be ‘awkward or uncomfortable’ at first, which was why you should make sure to giggle if things ‘don’t go super smooth.’
Her final piece of advice was something she ‘really struggled with’ on her wedding night. She recommended people ‘be present.’
‘It’s so difficult when your adrenaline is so high and it’s a new experience that you have wanted for your whole life and your emotions are so high that it’s really hard to be present,’ Alicia said.
She lifted the lid on her tips and tricks in a video posted to her YouTube account captioned: ‘Wedding night tips for the celibate brides.’
At the end of the clip, Alicia advised trying to relax and said that you should do your best to take in every single moment.
