My and my boyfriend have been dating for almost 15 months and we have come close to have sex sooo many times... the only thing stopping us is that he doesnt have condoms. We both know that if he did, that we would probably end up doing something if we had the chance, but we are also both worried about pregnancy! Thats why we are hesitant about buying condoms.
I am 16 and he is 17.
What should i do?
x0x_kayla_x0x answered Wednesday June 30 2004, 3:08 pm: My opinion is that...you should do it...because yall have been together soo long and if yall didnt love each other then yall wouldnt still be together 15 months later...so I say go ahead and have sex with him!

lynx_wings answered Monday June 28 2004, 3:03 am: Try to get ahold of condoms. I see them in stores quite often, and I think planned parenthood has them free. Condoms have a ninety-something percent success rate, so if you use a condom, you're pretty safe.
If you really do love him and, since you've been together for 15 months, it seems like you're pretty damn serious, go ahead. Try to get on birth control, though. [ lynx_wings's advice column | Ask lynx_wings A Question ]
CrAzYlilLePrEcHaUn answered Saturday June 26 2004, 7:16 pm: gurl i say do it... if u love him and u know for a fact that he loves u... theres no age on buying condomns and u or him can go get them dude...personally i think it would be worth it to pick up ur balls and go ask for usm condomns.. and if tha person ur buying them from gives u a " look" just tell them, " wut..at least im getting sum tonite." lol so anyway i say go for it also at teen clinics u can get free birth control but i suggest if u are scared of pregnancy u shuld wear a condomn too!

xoxjessicaxo answered Thursday June 24 2004, 11:16 pm: lol, i have had that problem b4.. but maybe it wasnt meant for you to have sex. and if you want to have sex, then buy condoms, and be careful, make sure u take care of them and keep them at the temp they supposed to do. or you can always go to the clinic and get on birth control, and u can do this without a parent. hope that helped.:) [ xoxjessicaxo's advice column | Ask xoxjessicaxo A Question ]

Siren_Cytherea answered Monday June 21 2004, 11:53 pm: First of all, you should buy condoms, or make him buy condoms. You might end up carried away anyway, and if you didn't have them, then what would happen? That would freak you out even more.
The pill, the patch, or the shot would be a good idea to get a hold of. I reccomend the pill. That's kind of how me and my boyfriend were. I was freaked out about pregnancy. It made me feel a little better that he had condoms, but still freaked me out. I just decided to go for it and pray I was lucky. I wasn't on the pill the first time we did it. I was worried for 2 weeks until I got my period.
Don't have sex 2 weeks before your period. You're really fertile then. And if/when you get on the pill, it doesn't go into effect completely until after you've been on it one month.
Good luck with everything!

Zayphron answered Monday June 21 2004, 4:06 pm: Tell him to buy condoms if he has none. For you, go to your doctor and have him perscribe you some birth control pills, because condoms are not 100% unfailable. [ Zayphron's advice column | Ask Zayphron A Question ]
MFS answered Monday June 21 2004, 3:23 pm: I think you should probaly wait until you're more sure of yourselves and your ability to safely have sex, condoms in hand or not. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
jbdreamer answered Monday June 21 2004, 2:00 pm: If you are not 100% sure about having sex, then you shouldn't do it. Yes you are still young, and what would you do if you happened to become pregnat? You should continue to wait. [ jbdreamer's advice column | Ask jbdreamer A Question ]
xokristabelle answered Monday June 21 2004, 1:44 pm: Well, first of all, you can get condoms for free online or from a place like Planned Parenthood. But...you don't sound ready. I think you're using the chance of getting pregnant as an excuse. You're not ready, so don't push it. If you were ready, you'd be saying "I know i might get pregnant, but I care about him and I'm willing to take the chance." I would say hold off. You obviously don't trust your b.f., so wait. Good luck! [ xokristabelle's advice column | Ask xokristabelle A Question ]
Short_N_Punky answered Monday June 21 2004, 1:40 pm: I beleive that you should wait for a little bit because yes it is a high risk that you could get pregnant. You have your whole life ahead of you dont blow it now. Wait intell your more grown up because if you do get pregnant and have a kid you just ruined your whole life. Because when your older you cant go out and party with friends, your going to be up all night taking care of the baby. Your probably going to have to switch schools and go to a school where they allow you to bring your child in. Because it needs to be attended to 24/7. But if you think your responsible and ready for all the pain and all the changes in your life go have fun but im just suggersting dont do it till your older. hope iv helped a little bit dont be afraid to write back.

storageanddisposal answered Monday June 21 2004, 1:39 pm: If it's just pregnancy holding you back, then I would go for it. Go on the pill, condoms are good, but they're not 100%. You should already know when not to do it. If it's something else holding you back subconciously, then I wouldn't rush into anything.

FernGully answered Monday June 21 2004, 1:13 pm: If you're worried then don't do it. Its really that simple. Even with condoms you still have a chance of pregnancy.
Sex has been known to destroy a relationship emotionally, because thats what it becomes about - sex. One partner wants to have sex less frequently and one wants to have it all the time and so, both are left a little resentful depending on how it turns out. So just make sure you have guidelines before hand that sex won't be what your relationship is all about. And NEVER decide you don't need a condom, even its 'in the heat of the passion'. Condom. Always. And then some.
Think this through very carefully before you do it. And if you do decide this is something you want, go see your doctor before hand. It's very important that you do. They won't tell your parents or anything like that, but they can give you advice and possibly recommened birth control. [ FernGully's advice column | Ask FernGully A Question ]
