Question
hi, ok so me and my boyfriend are going to take a shower together and he wants to have sex with me in the shower as this is my first time having sex and not his... i was wondering if he still has to wear a condom? please help me? im also not on any form of birth control yet....
Answer
I am not sure what the motivation is on the part of the boyfriend, but it is sure not to make your first sexual experience the best it can be. First, you need to be on a reliable method of birth control, and he needs to use a condom to protect you from sexually transmitted infections. If he is not willing to do that, he does not care about you or your health. Second, please think about why you are having sex with this person and if you are ready for the potential outcomes - unwanted pregnancy add disease.
