Like everyone said there is no 100% if your having sex. But a good thing to do is be on a hormonal birth control and use condoms. You can't competely trust them they have broken on me countless times. So use both and maybe even have ur guy pull out before he finishes. You might want to try a birth control other than the pill if you don't think you will remember everyday, such as the shot or patch or whatever. Again there is always a chance, but they will be very small if you do these things.

AdviceMistress answered Tuesday May 11 2010, 4:10 pm:
Well the only true way to NOT get pregnant is to not have sex. That would be the ONLY way to know that you aren't pregnant. With all the other things...there is a bit of a risk...I'm not sure but I think with a condom its either 89%-99% chance that you won't get pregnant...plus the condom could break. There is also the birthday control pill but I think I've heard that the pill has an 80% chance of preventing pregnancy.
The answer to your question would be...if you're really not ready then you're not ready don't rush it...when the time is right you'll know. Maybe think about going on birth control and have him wear a condom as well. To keep yourself from having kids though...it's easy don't have sex!

There is no such thing. The only way to be 100% sure you won't get pregnant is to not do it. If you're not ready to accept the possible consequences of what can happen with sex, you're not ready for sex. Back off this one and wait a little longer. You won't regret it. If your friend gets angry, that's a sure sign he's not "the one".

DearAbby92 answered Monday May 10 2010, 10:50 pm:
The only 100% way is abstinence. Birth control can come very close, like 99%, but nothing other than abstinence gives you full protection.

If you are going to have sex, I suggest having him wear a condom. If used properly, you should be fine. If sex becomes a regular thing, you may want to look into birth control pills (and still have him wear a condom to protect from STDs). There are other methods such as the patch, shots, intrauterine devices, but the pill is the least invasive but requires responsibility. Make sure you are prepared for the consequences of sex, emotionally and physically. Remember, you won't regret waiting a little longer but you may regret doing it when you weren't ready.

Good luck and be safe,

-Abby

Dont have sex. It is as easy as that. If you are scared and have doubts than that means you shouldnt do it. The only time you should have sex is if you are 100% ready and for sure that its exactly what you want. Otherwise, it could lead to things you dont want.

The condom can break at any time. There is no absolute safe way to have sex, so just remember that.

Get your butt to Planned Parenthood or a similar clinic in your area,and get on birth control!!!They are very nice and will answer any and all questions you have!Definitely make sure he wears a condom,and as for the condom breaking,yes that does happen sometimes.Sometimes it can be from getting a lil' too rough,other times it can be from it not being put on properly.That's all the more reason to go get yourself on the pill,or the shot,whatever form of BC you preffer!!!The pill is 99% effective when used PROPERLY,meaning that you take them around the same time every single day.It's easier if you just pick a set time each day or night to take your pill,and eventually it just becomes habit!!Condoms are 97-99% effective when used properly.So,the combonation should have you covered!But also never forget about STD's and staying safe from them!!!!!If you need anymore advice or wanna talk,feel free to post in my column!!

SeXyLaCi_XoX answered Wednesday June 30 2004, 2:31 pm:
Don't have sex unless you are 100% ready for it. If you don;t think you are ready then tell him that. A lot of people are scared of getting pregnant, so your not the only one! The only way you can be 100% sure is if your on the pill and he wears a condom but then I'm still not positive if its 100% or like 98%.

And for your second question...the condom can break at any given point for numerous reasons. The condom might be old, might of been in the sun, but condoms break and wear down due to the friction and heat of going in and out.

Hope this helped! I'll be glad to answer any other questions you have!

XxSmileyChickxX answered Tuesday June 29 2004, 4:37 pm:
Well be glad that he will use protection, but a condom only works 97% or the time. Just in case you might want to use birth control. And for your additional question, no the condom will not break if a man does it fast. But also since your only 16 if your guy really respects you he can wait and so can you because your only 16 and you have your whole life ahead of you to do stuff like that. So i actually think you should wait a while.

If you are not ready for sex you shouldn't do it. If you think you're ready for it - make sure you are prepared. You might want to see about getting birth control as well.





**** yes. It's because of friction.

selectopaque answered Tuesday June 29 2004, 2:17 am:
If your going to have sex, you absolutely cannot be 100% sure that you wont get pregnant. I would suggest getting on birth control and using also using a condom if it worries you too much.

And no, the condoms break when they are not put on correctly. If there are any air bubbles in the condom then it will be very likely to break open. When/if you go to get birth control ask the doctor or nurse to show you how to correctly put on a condom. Don't just depend on your guy to know. Make sure he does it right!

If you want to be 100% sure that you will not get pregnant, then don't have sex, but I do suggest you take some type of birth control besides using just condoms if you want to feel pretty secure. Because no matter what your taking your NOT 100% safe. Condoms DO brake, But if you really feel he's the guy and your willing to face the consequences....go for it.
As for the additional question... yes the condom can break but i doubt it'll get wild cuz its just your first time and you can't ride the first time cuz its basically all pain. just follow your <3 good luck 2 ya ~KiSsES~

Like everyone else said, the only REAL way to be 100% sure is to just not have sex.

But if you DO want to have sex, you can still be pretty certain. You could try to get on birth control. Call you local Planned Parenthood. They might be able to give you information or places where you can get information.

If you can't go on the pill, condoms are pretty certain. I've heard success rates as high as 97%.

If you want to be 100% sure that you will not get pregnant, then don't have sex, but I do suggest you take some type of birth control besides using just condoms if you want to feel pretty secure. There are pills, patches, shots, ect. Talk to your parents about setting up an appointment to see a gyno. If for some reason you can't talk to a parent about this, there are planned parenthoods and other free clinics that are confidential. but if you pay with your health insurance then there is still a chance your parents will find out if they get a bill or a notice. But if you let them no you are a student, you will probably get the stuff for free or the most they will hcarge you is like $10. But hey $10 a month beats an embarrassing argument with your parents or even worse having to tell them your pregnant. Point blank: if you want to be pretty positive about not getting pregnant, use Birth control.
