Your sexual health does not necessarily involve intercourse. It also encompasses your emerging sexuality and your body - how it is changing and what this means to you. Sexual intercourse is a conscious decision to engage in a physical expression of feeling for another person. Taking care of your body now means educating yourself to the hazards and pitfalls of having sex. Discussing your partner's past sexual history will help give you insight into what you need to talk about - contraception, communicable disease, the nature of your relationship. Sex can be the ultimate positive expression in a relationship or the worst experience, depending upon the circumstance. Stay sober when at parties. Know whom you are dating. Avoid pressure to have sex when you are not entirely sure of the relationship - you are in control of your own sexuality. Poll | Goal Setting | Quiz | Experts Say | Links
