I thought my boyfriend loved me because I mean he acts as if he does. We are having sex but I feel as if that's all he wants, and I am scared to tell him I don't want to do it all the time because of his temper. He was my first. What should I do? [ view ] |

You don't want to mess up now just because of a little negative peer pressure. Is the title of being "experienced" really worth the risk of contracting an STD, worrying about an unplanned pregnancy or regretting the loss of a special part of you that you can never get back? If risking all of that is only going to get you a few minutes of pleasure, it's not worth the experience. Besides, not everyone is doing it. In a TIME/MTV survey conducted online on Sept. 10-12, 2002, 56% of teens say that they want to abstain until they are married. Of those that have had sex, 55% of teen boys and 72% of teen girls said they wish they had waited longer to have sex. See, at the same time you're upset because you think you're the only virgin left on earth, 63% of teens who have had sex are wishing they still had their virginity.
Keep your head up! You're on the right track. The problem is not that you're a virgin. The problem is all of the stress that your "friends" are giving you for doing what you know is right. If you're going to lose anything get rid of some of those negative influences - not your virginity. |
