Sex is the most profound and intimate way to express your love for someone. Different people enjoy and pursue sex in different forms vaginal sex, oral sex, anal sex, masturbation, and mutual masturbation. Within the forms of intimacy and pleasure that sex affords is a lot of room for error. Most people are affected by sexual problems at some point in their lives.
Losing your virginity is a personal choice, and it's your choice alone. Not even your sweetie can make up your mind about whether or not you're ready for sex. Still, it's not a decision to be made lightly. If you're thinking about having sex, and you feel your ready for it, find a confidant that you can strike up a safe sex talk conversation with. Teens who talk to their parents, siblings and peers about sex are more likely to make smarter decisions about sex. Smarter decisions like having it sex safely, and with the right kinds of partners are important. Here are some tips for talking about sex:.

“Tips for talking about sex”

1. Know your stuff - See that you are ready by doing your homework and are going to act responsibly.
2. Know your reasons - know why you feel you are ready to have sex and what your reasons are; and if you answer maybe you aren't as ready as you thought!
3. Be prepared for a negative reaction - it is very hard to be intimate with someone. Accept the responsibilities, and be prepared to live with the consequences.
4. Don't flaunt it - your decision to have sex shouldn't be a weapon designed to assert independence, if you are flaunting it you are having sex for the wrong reasons!
5. Talk about birth control and safer sex - I can't explain the horror I felt when my mother asked me about this; spare yourself the shock and bring it up first, it will show that you are thinking about what you are doing which is always a good thing.
6. Don't sugar coat it - if you want to talk about birth control options, do it; if you want to have sex but aren't sure you are in love, speak up. This is not a time to hide how you feel.
7. Be truthful - it is really easy to chicken out and say what you think you can handle rather than what is true - this is a short term fix and is bound to cause blow ups in the future.
8. LISTEN - listen to your heart it is an invaluable resource. More importantly, talk to your partner if anything you hear yourself say sounds wrong when spoken out loud you may want to take a second look at your decision.
