What extra precautions can me and my BF take (without taking to parents)

[nicole97]

Okay please don't judge me for having sex at my age, but this weekend me and my BF (of 7 months, we were both virgins until then) did it, and it was great. He's used a condom and has plenty more (and carries one too). However are there any other safe-sex precautions me and my BF should take? Without talking to our parents.

Hmmm, you should always take the pill, if you arent already, Both of you should get a STD test, and i think at your age it should be fine, all confindencial, You should also take the day after pill, just in case.

Make sure your BF knows how to put on a condom properly as well, most guys dont, kinda sad really.

And, as always im sorry to say, Abstinence is the only 100% way to be safe. :\

Well an STD test is probably a bit OTT if you are both virgins. You could go on the pill if you can get it without your parents knowing. Condoms are very safe if used properly. The important thing is to make sure he has the condom on before any penetration occurs.

Make sure that you guys never use a condom that has been exposed to excessive heat. I've heard that a wallet is a bad place to carry a condom because extra heat and friction can cause easier breakage. Check on that though. And if you're going to experiment with lubes and stuff, make sure they are water based because oil based could make the condom break. Anyway, always use a condom...it feels better without, but don't do it without unless you have been in the pill for a while. Plus you can get diseases that way...
Have fun and be safe

Thanks for the advice everyone.

Is there anywhere I can get the pill confidentially? Like without me having to have an adult sign off on me having it? The pill is really preferred because it's easy to use properly, and it's really effective especially if he also uses a condom.

or you can get injections or an implant. Injections last about 3 months and are good cauue dont take daily, but need to remember to get anoter apointment for another when its time is up. and implant is same exept can last about a year or two (I think) Talk to your GP because they're compleatly confidential and can give you something that'll work better for you.
