A Christian YouTuber has revealed what it was really like to lose her virginity on her wedding night after people claimed the experience would be 'painful and awkward.'

Emily Wilson, 28, a YouTuber from California who often posts about her religion and life as a wife, has opened up about what her wedding night was like after someone emailed her a question about being a virgin.

In a new video entitled 'Was Wedding Night Awkward As A Virgin?', Emily said: 'Awkward is never and never will be a word that I would use to describe my wedding night.'

Her response to this question came after a woman, who Emily nicknamed 'Nadia', emailed in because she was waiting until marriage. Nadia wrote.

I’ve decided to save sex for marriage. As a college student, this has been difficult to stay the least but so far I’ve managed to stay true to my promise,' 'However, I have talked to some of my friends who have had sex and their stories have scared me. They have talked about their first time as awkward and painful.

Emily married her husband, Daniel, in December 2015 and said the pair were both virgins until their wedding night.

'The only person who can speak to what it will be like to be a virgin on your wedding night is someone who was a virgin on their wedding night,’ Emily said in response to the email.

The YouTuber went on to describe why this decision was so important within her own relationship with her husband. She said,

There is a huge, huge difference in sharing something so personal, so private, and so intimate with a man who has promised nothing to you, and a man who has promised his entire life to you.

'The entire scenario is different. Physically, the act is the same. But mentally, spiritually and emotionally, it is a whole different story.
