Sex
– Are you ready?
It may feel like everyone is having sex, but they’re not and you can’t always compare yourself to them. Everyone is different.
It is legal for you to agree to sex from the age of 16. Most people wait until then and lots choose to wait longer. The most important thing is you feel comfortable with your decision.
Remember, the right time is up to you and you shouldn’t be pressured into having sex.
The facts!
- You can get pregnant the first time you have sex – it only takes one time
- You can get pregnant if a boy pulls out before he ejaculates (comes)
- A girl can still get pregnant if she has sex during her period
- You can get pregnant if you have sex standing up
- Condoms can only be used once!
If the time is right make sure you are prepared – check out the different contraception available.
