When should
we have sex?

gantree

 

  • If you've been in a relationship for a while, you may begin to wonder if it's the right time to have sex. This can be a very difficult decision to make (especially if you haven't had sex before) and is a decision that you should make carefully.
    _
  • Every relationship is different and because of this, there's no "right time" to have sex.
    _
  • Before havng sex, it's importnant to make sure that you are both ready and it is what you both want. People often worry about how their partner will react if they say "No" to sex.
    _
  • People worry that their partner might think they're a baby, dump them, or spread nasty rumours about them if they say "No". Actually, if they care about you they won't do any of these things and if they do they this is wrong and maybe they aren't the right person for you anyway.
    _
  • If your partner puts pressure on you to have sex by saying that "If you loved me you would" or "It's a sign of committment" or "Everyone else is" this is wrong and maybe they aren't the right person for you anyway.
    _
  • If you decide that it is the right time to have sex but then when it starts happening you change your mind, it is ok to tell your partner to stop. It isn't too late to change your mind and just because you thought you wanted sex doesn't mean you have to do it!
Never forget!
You should NEVER have sex if you don't want to (whatever your age and whoever they are). It is ALWAYS illegal to force someone into having sex.
