Ok so this needs some context. I am quite behind my peers when it comes to sex. I have always been scared by the topic and know next to nothing about it (the level I’m at is that I learnt what a hickey is the other day). I’d often skip sex scenes in movies if I wasn’t prepared for them and, quite surprisingly for a teenage boy, I have never even masturbated and I’m unsure if I’ve even felt sexual pleasure. *But*, over the past few days I have grown more comfortable around the topic and made leaps which are small to any normal person but are huge for me, such as how I’m more comfortable watching sex scenes in movies and tv shows and feel like I can talk about it freely online.
My main goal is to be comfortable watching porn, having some sort of understanding what I enjoy and maybe even masturbate for the first time (but that’s still very daunting to me haha). Someone I’ve been talking to told me I should try reading erotic fiction books before moving to porn to engage my fantasies and to understand sex from the female perspective (which porn apparently cannot do) so my question is **can you recommend me some beginners erotic literature suitable for teenagers?** They can be online stories but I’d much prefer **books** if possible.
Thank you so much if you help and for being understanding of my situation!

Can’t help much. But what I can say is when you get to wacking off, you’ll feel embarrassed for a while. Just gotta get comfortable in your own body. I agree with Starting off on the erotic fiction. It’s simple and easy to get behind. Hope I helped some bit
Brazil by John Updike has a lot of sex, and a lot of variety of sex. Written by a man, so does better than most porn as far as female perspective, but still misses the mark especially about lesbian sex. I say this as a bisexual female. Still, I enjoyed the book. The main characters are 18 and 19 at the start.
By the way, losing your virginity shouldn’t hurt and probably won’t bleed as a woman. Blood during sex happens and sometimes it’s nothing to worry about. But it’s not a requirement of female virginity loss. That’s the biggest thing the book got wrong.
Also, there’s no shame in being “behind your peers.” You don’t say how old you are, but you might be a late bloomer, asexual, or demisexual. Don’t worry too much.
