Sticky Mango Face
I have a question on an opinion. You can all ask. I COULD have made it a thread but I didn't want to draw tooooo much attention to it.
How soon is too soon to have sex? or when does it become acceptable?

Yep... I dared to make a question... ... now will I regret it? Whenever you're ready.
wink I know that's what everyone says, but that's because it works. You shouldn't deliberately avoid sex because your relationship isn't long enough yet, you shouldn't feel you're wrong if you're NOT having sex in a long relationship, you shouldn't be too young if you're actually ready, and if you're older and not ready yet that's a-okay too.
Here's a few things to think about to decide if you're ready or not --
- Do you lack unrealistic expectations, i.e. your relationship lasting forever?
- Could you deal with having sex and then breaking up?
- Would it be a decision you would not regret regardless of what happens in the future?
- Do you have a birth control method that you believe is protective enough and that you can STICK TO using EVERY TIME? Even in the heat of the moment, can you make him stop for a minute to put a condom on first?
- If your method fails and you get pregnant, how will you deal with it? Are you prepared to either abort, give out for adoption, or take care of a baby? Is
he prepared to stand by your decision and take responsibility?
- Do you trust the guy you're with to respond appropriately to your needs? Can you repond to his?
- And of course, haha, I'm know you're familiar with
this topic... Know who you're going to tell, who you're going to hide it from, and what to do if someone you don't want to know finds out
wink - And of course you and your man have to be able to talk openly about this
ninja You don't want to end up with completely different expectations because you were too vague and then both be totally disappointed.
Phew, I think that's about everything
xd I have a lot of opinion on this subject, heh.
Also, while you're here -- where've you been? I was actually just thinking this morning that you haven't really posted anything since you joined the guild, I figured you had forgotten or left XD
