Q: I am 18/f. I am so attracted to my boyfriend, and I trust him with all of my heart. When we hook up, things get really heated, and I always feel like I'm restraining myself by not having sex with him. My body feels so ready, but I don't know if I am. I'm a virgin and I feel like my virginity is part of my identity and something I am proud of. How could I give it away? I don't know when I'll ever feel ready. How does one know? Should I have sex with my boyfriend? He is sexually experienced, but I know he's not pressuring me into anything.
I applaud you for valuing yourself enough to wait.

My advice is that if you've waited this long, and you're sure this guy is the one, your best bet is waiting to see if the two of you are compatible enough for marriage. From the sounds of it, you'd be happier if you maintain your virginity until he's committed himself to you.

Trust that instinct that brought the doubt to your mind: "I don't know if I am."

Never make a decision to do ANYTHING you aren't certain about.

If he's the one, he'll respect your decision.

Thanks! Although I certainly won't be waiting until marriage...
