Having sex can raise the intensity of emotions that people feel for each other; whether you’re in a serious or casual relationship. It’s important that you feel ready and confident in your decisions about having sex.
In a healthy relationship, your partner respects your decisions even when they don't like them, both partners are able to express their feelings and respect each other’s boundaries about sex. You shouldn’t have sex to keep your partner.
Deciding whether you want to have sex or when you should is a decision you should make when it feels right for YOU.
If you are thinking about when to have sex, keep in mind:
- Communication is key in a healthy relationship, learning to listen is equally important.
- You should feel comfortable with your decision.
- Talk with your partner about safe sex practices, like getting tested for STIs and considering birth control options.
- Be honest with yourself and your partner.
- You have the right to talk openly and honestly about your fears, worries and feelings.
- If your partner tries to threaten or pressure you into having sex, it can be a sign of an unhealthy relationship. You deserve better.
- No matter how long you’ve been with someone or how many times you’ve done something, you have the right to say no at anytime for any reason.
- If someone won’t take no for an answer and repeatedly pressures you verbally, emotionally or physically it can be a sign of abuse.
- You have control over your body, and no one else has the right to tell you what to do with it.
