By long distance, I mean, he lives an hour away. Sometimes he gets up to see me. Sometimes he doesn't.

We're both 22 and stuck living with our parents until we can scramble up enough money to get a place together. We've finished several years of school (school is a lot of $$$) so we don't really have the money yet to do so.

I recently lost my virginity to him (Christmas eve, and it was uber romantic and I don't regret it because he is awesome! It also wasn't as big of a deal as I thought it would be, and yet it is.. because.. well.. I'm Catholic. I come from a super Catholic family and have Catholic friends. No one knows that I'm not a virgin yet, and I want my parents to never find out.. however.. I do find it difficult to lie to them... if anyone has tips or advice for handling that.. that would be cool too! It really is tricky.. :/). So I've basically been wanting sex all the time because.. either I have a high sex drive or this is common with virgins.. or.. I don't know.

It's just.. I don't want to get frustrated with him. Sometimes, he just can't make it up here to see me.. the weather gets bad and he can't help it.

But I get sexually frustrated because I want to have sex with him... and so.. it may come out as frustration with him even though it's the lack of sex that I'm frustrated with.

So.. how do you guys learn how to cool it without taking it out on your partner when you really want sex but they're unable to give it to you?? (don't just say masturbate! It's not the same.. but.. I do understand it's worth lol)
