* You may think a guy's greatest fear about sex is simply not getting any, but believe it or not, doing it is just as nerve-racking for us as it is for you. Early on in the relationship, even our most down and dirty impulses can't block out all of our anxieties. Here are the four fears we can't shake after we've been there, done that.

you weren't satisfied

Whether it's the paranoia that our flags won't fly or that we won't know your G-spot from your G-string, we worry about not being the best you've ever been with. Even if we leave you panting like Jack Black at an all-you-can-eat buffet, we're always wondering whether we should hand you an oxygen mask or an Academy Award. So soothe your bedmate's gnawing curiosity with a few understated compliments afterward--things like "Wow, I never felt that before" or "Where did you learn how to do that?" Then, to squelch his fears forever, bring up his prowess later. "If a girl comments while we're in bed on my great oral-sex technique, I wonder if she just feels obligated to pay a compliment. But when a woman mentioned it to me when we were at the grocery store, I was blown away--she was still thinking about it in the frozen-food aisle!" says Trevor *, 25.

He slept with you because you let him, You slept with him because he has potential. We know you have standards, which is why we always suspect you may have other ideas of what having sex means for the relationship. "Even if it's all fun and games before sex, I'm always afraid that afterward, she's going to assume our commitment level has leapfrogged," says Dan, 28. "But it's not necessarily a milestone for me." So the relationship expectations that you had before you hit the sack should stay the same postsex. Trust me, his are.
