im 14 and my girlfriend is 15. we have been going out for about 2 years now and we think it is time we have sex. i plan on using a condom but, she is still kinds nervos about her getting prego. what should we do?
Are you ready for a baby? Do you have a job to support you & your girlfriend if the contraceptives fail? If you get an STD, how will make sure it gets taken care of? How will you prevent getting an STD? How will you prevent pregnancy?
These are all questions you need to ask yourself before you engage in sexual activity. Sex is not something people do for fun, it's an intimate moment that is used for reproduction purposes.
I think your best bet is just to stay abstinent. You're both a little young to be having sex and there are a lot more ways you could show one another how much you care. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

Get a really good condom like trojan and get her on the pill. [ TheGiver's advice column | Ask TheGiver A Question ]

I won't lecture you but you are both very young so please make sure you are 100% about this before you do it. Don't have sex because you think you should, do it because you both want to and feel completely ready. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]

If you can't have this discussion with your girlfriend, then you aren't prepared to have sex. The two of you should be discussing several things before making the leap.
1) STIs. What happens if one of you gets one? What will you do to prevent it?
2) Birth control. What methods are you using? What if the condom rips? What if she misses a pill or two?
3) What if she does get pregnant? Are you willing to deal with a pregnancy? What would she do if she got pregnant? Are you okay with her decision?
If you can't discuss all of the above and come to an agreement, then you should wait. There are plenty of other ways to express your love for one another :) [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
Melody answered Sunday February 7 2010, 12:47 pm: Don't have sex until she is on birth control. Condoms are only 80-some percent effective when used 100 percent correctly. Most likely, you won't.
Don't just have sex because you have been dating for two years and you think it's time. Have sex because you are in love and are ready to commit to each other on a different level. Don't forget you are both very young. If you do it, be ready to accept the consequences. With sex comes babies. If you two can't handle a little one, don't do the deed until you can.
