@Emmasweet86,
How old are you? How old is your potential partner? What are your plans for birth control? Is this a steady relationship or a one-and-done? Have you talked to a trusted adult about this?

@neptuneblue,
I would rather not say my age on here. He is a bit older. I have a dr appointment to talk to her about getting the pill but it isn’t for a few weeks. I don’t really have a adult I can ask that’s why I came here

Yeah, I suspected you would rather not say your age...and I suspect you are a teen. I also suspect "he is a bit older"...is a bit older than a bit older.

Best advise you can get right now is NOT to do it. Second best is NOT to do anything that can get you pregnant. There's lots of sex that can be satisfying to you and a partner without possible pregnancy being a factor.

In any case, the way you asked the question indicates that you probably are not old enough for actual sexual involvement just yet, and you probably realize that to be true. If this is a case of the guy who is a bit older...sorta talking you into it, you may well regret it.

Think twice about it, Emma...then think about it a few more times. And maybe a few more times after that.

The forces are strong. VERY, VERY STRONG!

The regrets are even stronger.

I agree with the other posts here.. but lets be specific.

If you are under 18, and your potential partner is more than 2 years older than you... then it is a clear NO! Not only is it illegal, it is also likely something you will regret. Being 17 and being 20 is a world of difference (one is in high school and the other is ready to work)... there is to much imbalance for this to be a good relationship.

If your partner is close to your age (i.e. less than 2 years difference), then it is is a different story. You still need to think it through. But if you are in an equal, respectful relationship with someone in your same stage of life, you can make it work.

The body will be ready faster that the mind. Just be prepared for that.

@Emmasweet86,
You can be very mature at 17 and very immature at 21 - you have to decide!

However, if you're old enough to have sex you have to be old enough to take precautions, i.e. protection and contraceptives! You need to wait until you get birth control and you also need a condom. Playing it safe these days also involves a test for STI (sexually transmitted diseases). Go to Planned Parenthood and get advice from them, they're great and they'll guide you in the right direction.

Good luck and be responsible!
