Sexuality
Sex is a powerful experience, as well as one of the most intimate parts of a relationship. It is a very personal thing and different people fell ready to become sexually active as different times. It’s not unusual to have worries about sex and sexuality as you grow up, and its not always easy to talk to someone abut sex or sexuality in order to get the information you might need. Your friends may seem more experienced than you but they are probably going through the same thoughts and feelings. Its ok to do things at your won pace. The important thing is to respect your own feelings and not to be pushed into having sex before its right for you. Decide how you feel and tell your partner. If they really care for you, they would not try to push you into anything you have doubts about, your feelings and beliefs should matter to them. Remember, there’s a big difference between sex with someone you don’t know and making live with someone you care for. If you’re interested in a religion or faith, you may want to find out what it teaches about love, sex and marriage.
