Question
I am a 15 year old and am planning to start sexual activity with an older man, i am a bit worried that my vagina will be too small for his penis is this possible?
Also i am worried that my vagina is not normal, the lips are bigger than normal and one is a dark purple colour, i am scared to go to the doctor about this. What should i do?
Answer
I am sorry, but if you cannot talk to a doctor about your concerns, how can you possibly be ready to start sexual intercourse? Please see your doctor, start on a reliable method of birth control, and learn how to use a condom.
Please think this through carefully. If he is over 18, it may be illegal, and because he is older you are likely not his first sexual partner, so you are putting yourself at risk for unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection.
