You should probably educate yourself before you have sex. Like learn about what the consequences are, besides getting pregnant. Like you can contract STI's and that wouldn't be nice.
Then know what kind of protection you should use besides condoms, because those can break. So I'd get on some form of birth control. There are a few different kinds so you should talk to your doctor about that. [ lightoftruth's advice column | Ask lightoftruth A Question ]

It hasn't to do with age as much as having pretty much fully developed sexual organs. Some girls have their sexual organs fully developed at even a younger age.
There is very little sex ed. offered in schools today so its not anyone fault as a teen to not know. But at 18, you are of legal age. It would be a good time to start self teaching and learning about all the ins and outs of sex and one of the best ways I can think to recommend is a youtube channel called Sex + a frank video series about sexuality with Laci Green. I highly recommend her. All videos are short 3-4 min. and very entertaining and best of all she is a peer for you at age 23. But she info is all very right on and great stuff.
