sex?
Ok so me and my boyfriend have been dating for 9 months. I love him. Some may say that it's too early for love or that i am too young (i'm 16). but i do love him.
We have been playing around for about two months now. but no sex.
We now think we are ready for sex.
What my question is...
If i had to go into a shop to buy condoms, is it likely they would as for I.D ?
Oh i live in the UK, so america may be different.
I mean i look 16, but im a shy person so if they asked i would just die.
I dont think i have the guts to accually go buy them. but then again i want to rather than have my boyfriend go buy them.
I'm also really really scared i might get pregnant
crazy as it seems that is whats putting me off
i want to have sex with him. Just dont want a baby. My sister is pregnant the now, and that happened by accident, i couldnt be the same.
i cant go to the doctors to get the pill so please dont tell me to do that
help :(
xx

Noooooo, don't worry! I live in England too and there isn't an age limit to buy them.
You do realize that with any form of birth control, there's still that small risk you could become pregnant.. so if it's worrying you too much for the time being, are you sure you're really ready for sex?
Anyway, if you use the condoms correctly, you should be fine. Practice putting them on properly and follow the instructions. Just say you did have an accident and it broke somehow, you could get the morning after pill, which is effective for up to 72 hours afterwards (you don't have to get it from the doctors. Boots/chemists provide it).

Hi,
Don't worry they will not ask you for ID, even if you didn't look 16 - you don't have to be 16 to buy condoms!!
While theirs no need to be frightened you're absolutely right to want to make sure you're having safe sex.
So be careful, be sensible but relax and enjoy it!

I don't know about the UK, but in the US there's no age requirement to buy condoms. It would be rediculous to put one on them. If you had to be 16 to buy condoms, do you really think the 14 year olds would wait? Or just have unprotected sex?
If there is an age requirement in the UK then sorry, but I don't see why there would be.
And I mean this in the nicest way possible, but honestly, if you don't think you have the guts to get the protection, then maybe you shouldn't be having sex. The only reason I say that is just because basically what that's saying is that you don't have the guts to use protection. But it's not my place to talk about that. I'll just cut to the chase.
They shouldn't ask you for your ID. And if they do, don't worry about it. Just put on a suave attitude and whip it out like it's no big deal. If you act nervous about it, that's where they might start to suspect that you're "underage". Hope I helped and I hope that other thing didn't come off the wrong way. Sorry if it did.

first off, before even getting around to sex, ask yourself if you would be able to handle it emotionally if you and your boyfriend broke up after sex. also, think: what would you do if you DID get pregnant?
condoms are very effective, if done right.
make sure you know the condom is on right, or it may not work.
the only way to be sure you won't get pregnant is to stay abstinent. if your gut is telling you you should hold off, then your boyfriend should understand.
and i doubt they would ask for your ID. you're at age of consent, as of UK.
