4) Do not do anything you arent comfy with unless its a mutual decision and you are working to overcome the fact that you are not comfy with it. Never say yes when you want to say no. If you say no, you can always change your mind later. The same cannot be said for yes.
5) Keep in mind, that even though it feels like you may have been waiting for this forever, you're young. It doesnt feel like it, and you may think I dont know what I'm talking about, but waiting weeks, months, even a year or two _is_not_going_to_kill_you_
I dont know a single person who said no as a teenager and regretted it later in life.
I know quite a few single moms in their 20s with kids who are at least 4-5 years old who regret the decisions they made. Both for their, and thier children's sakes.

There's always the risk of pregnancy and diseases. Make sure that you trust your partner and you love or care about them enough that you want to have sex with them. NEVER have sex just because 'everyone else is doing it', or being your partner is pressuring you to do it. Just wait until YOU'RE ready. [ leLovely's advice column | Ask leLovely A Question ]
ductape_n_roses answered Monday August 6 2007, 2:32 pm: There are a few important things:
1) Actually loving your partner. Not just some teenage impulse or one wanting to have sex and blackmailing by threatening to break up if you don't want to have sex or vice versa.
2)Protectiong. D*mn number of people are always asking "Am I pregnant? I didn't use protection." BC pills, condoms, whatever you need. The pull out method doesn't work by the way.
3)STDs. Another thing that bothers me. Everyone's asking if they're pregnant and they don't even take a glimps at the fact that their partner may have a STD that he doesn't know about or is hiding form you. [Hmm, sorry. It could be a she, too.] I mean come on, he/she may actually not know. And even if she/he does, do you think that she/he will tell you "Oh, yeah. I do herpes. Let's have hot sex!" Not likely. ` [ ductape_n_roses's advice column | Ask ductape_n_roses A Question ]
