I would highly highly HIGHLY suggest that you reconsider whether or not to use a condom. Condoms aren't only effective birth control, but they're also protection against STDs and easy to buy.

However if you're totally set on not using a condom, there are other forms of contraception. The Planned Parenthood website (http://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-info/birth-control/) has good, reliable information about the different forms of birth control and how effective they each are.

You don't have to worry about anyone here thinking badly of you. Sex is natural and we're not here to judge you or tell you you're wrong for wanting it. I hope this helps.

its just that my boyfriend is uncircumsized and i want that we both lose our virginity together . moreover i really want this out of love , not body pleasure !
actually in my country virginity is a very big deal for parents ... and to be frank i really hate all the customs here :/
does taking birth pills below 18 years of age cause any problems??

What does him being uncircumcised have to do with you two having sex? And the only side effects ar possible weight gain and a change in period. The time of it might fluctuate and not be as "bad", which is a plus. My ex was on it our entire relationship. Nothing bad happened

Also remember that the daily contraceptive pill doesn't reach full effectiveness until a couple of weeks in, that is, you have to be taking it for at least two weeks or so until it will do you any good. If you're really set on doing it before this time a condom is really the most effective method of contraception.
Also, no, taking the daily contraceptive pill under the age of 18 doesn't cause any negative side effects, my girlfriend has been taking them since around 14/15.

Take birth control for the certain amount of days for it to kick in and try to use a condom. My friends sister ended up with three kids and two baby daddy's because she didn't know the right procedure for safe sex.
