Getting the shift

emma9

I've been chatting to a boy over the last two weeks and he asked me to shift him before school some morning, and I agreed. I'm 17 and I've never shifted anyone before (because I haven't been to teen discos and I wouldn't do it before or after school because everyone would know and I'm quite shy).

He said we'd keep it between ourselves but I'm wondering whether I should tell my bestfriend, she would be annoyed if I didn't and he'll probably tell his friends anyway.

The thing is I'm really nervous and I don't know how to act. Won't it be really awkward before, during and after it? I'm afraid I'll mess it up as well. I know this is a stupid (and embarrassing) post but any advice or experience?

Please don't give smart answers, thanks.

There is a 'ladies' forum on here for such stuff, why don't you post your query there!?
They will probably tell you to find out if he is rich first, but take no notice of them....




Only joking, they will give you some great advice, I'm sure!

If you really are serious, then I suggest asking here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1146

I can give you this advice right now, don't shift a boy you've been talking to for 2 weeks "before school some morning", you'll regret it. Your first time should be with someone you're at least in a relationship with, and preferably during a time when you're not going to be rushing and you can make a nice evening/night out of it. It's really nothing special unless you have time for the foreplay and the aftermath, the kissing and cuddling are what make it. Getting the shift quickly before school some morning really isn't anything your finger can't do. But, if you do decide to go ahead with this, at least use a condom.

If you're in doubt don't do it. Plus, I guarantee you, he'll tell all his mates.

Would advise asking here..

Flavoured lipgloss is awesome. Even if you think it was awful, he will go away thinking, 'oh my god, her lips tasted like cherry (or whatever)'.

By "the shift" I just mean a french kiss. Thanks for the advice though :')

Ah to be young again when your biggest worry is getting a shift before the weight of the world crushes your spirit...

Beautifully said sir!

Based on this thread and urban dictionary, it turns my definition of "the shift" is actually totally different from what it actually means, I've never been very good at Irish slang. Since you mean a french kiss, I say go for it, that's what teenagers do, hell, "shift" as many boys as you want, you'll regret it when you're older if you don't.

You must not be Irish, the "shift" has always been by my estimation, known nationally. If you are Irish, I didnt realise it wasnt in use there, wherever there is.

Misleading thread title . I thought this was a driving thread and some learner was having difficulty using the gears.

Nothing wrong with a bit of tonsil tennis like everything else the first one could be good or be messy watch for roaming hands and rushing fingers don't let the flame of passion turn into an inferno well at least not outside the school gates

Somebodies been reading too much chic lit. Flame of passion? They are 17. She'll be lucky if he doesn't mess himself.

After hours, where teens can ask about kissing someone for the first time and be told to use a condom.

Do You Even Shift?

Well if a "shift" has to be scheduled like a doctor's appointment then no you shouldn't do it. When it happens, it'll happen naturally. Plus never trust schoolboys when they say they're only looking to French kiss. Obviously ye'll be going somewhere private to complete the act. Guarantee ya ye won't be two seconds into it until he'll have the trouser tent fully pitched and then will switch to octopus mode, hands everywhere. If you are going to risk it, wear two pairs of tights and a pair of trousers.

No, it doesn't.

I never learned to shift properly as a teen.

It's easy just to buy an automatic in my opinion.

Better safe than sorry. I think it's actually good advice to have a condom or two on hand for any sexual-related activity.

It's hard to beat that feeling of a good shift to be honest. It might be nerve-racking at first, so much pressure to get a good first shift when you're young but after one, you'll go from first to second to third and so on no bother.

Then once you're confident you can put that baby in reverse.

I'm not sure where this analogy has gone.
