I'm really old fashioned. I grew up in a Spanish-Italian American family, and they raised me to think that all women shopuld wait until they're married until having sex with only one man. I was also sexually abused when I was a young girl by my father, so using the excuse to not have sex because "I have to wait until I'm married" prevented me from getting really close to men, because I was afraid of having sex. I mean, like really afraid. I met this really nice at boarding school when I was a junior in high school. He went through a lot pf problems too, like his mother was extremely abusive, and so was my father. He didn't trust women, and I didn't trust men. At first he was really cranky, and as the years went by until after graduation, he because sweet and nice. He goes to a college that's really close to mine, in the same city (Miami, Florida). A few weeks ago he touched me and I felt afraid and aroused all at once. I didn't know what to expect...
Well yesterday we were hanging out at night in an elementary school at around 12:00am after Thanksgiving. We began to tlak about sex. He told me that I was 18, and that we're adults now and that it's ok to have sex. Is he manipulating me? He said that he loved me and that we would be a lot closer if we could actually GET closer. He said that we connected on many different levels and that we're so much alike. I'm so sick and tired of being afraid of being touched, and all my life Ive only been kissed. I wanted to know how it felt like to really be touched. So he touched me all over and I oculd barely stand. Then I touched his penis. I feel ready for this but I feel like Im doing something bad all at the same time. Is it ok to have sex? What if he uses me, or what if the condom breaks, what if he gives me AIDS? Well, he's a virgin, so I guess he doesn't have AIDS. I'm sick and tired of being controlled by a cultural rule that only affects women. If a man has sex before marriage, it's "not as bad" as when a woman does it. I think that's bullshit. Should I just do it...? I want to. Will I become a slut? Will I loose all my honor, will my future be at [email protected][email protected]!!>?????!?!!!

NO you will not become a slut....you will NOT lose your honor.....

Is your future at stake? That's debateable....I think everytime you have sex you're risking something. I can't honestly tell you you're not putting your future at stake and then you end up pregnant...cause as you know it is a huge possibility! I'm sure broken condoms are why a lot of people end up pregnant...

Only YOU can decide whether or not your ready....but I wouldn't...I mean, you never once said anything about an emotional connection..you said that HE said something about it but all you're saying is how you're tired of not having that good feeling...which is totally fine! if you want that for your first time then by all means go right ahead! Personally I would wait....maybe not until marriage and maybe not even waiting for someone else...but see how long he's willing to wait and what kind of pressure he's going to put on you make sense? Good Luck!

There is an emotional connection; I'm the only one he goes to for help, comfort, etc. I'm just worried about sex. Everything else seems fine now. I don't want the comdom to break.

So ur sayn u realy trust him and wutnot? Do u think u can trust him to not be abusive, or take advantage of u? If u think that he is honest w/ honest intentions, then u should tell him to wait. Tell him it can happen, but not this soon. u guys need to get closer to each other as bf & gf and get used to touching and all of that. It would be a really bad thing to have sex just cause u r deprived of touching men and want to expirience. If u think its goin happen, take a moment and think of why u r goin to do it. If ur mind immidietly jumps to the fact that he loves u, u love him, and u want to be together, then I think ur ready. If u get any other reason, like he is pressuring u or u REALLY wanna have sex, then u should not do it.
