Virginity and First-Time Sex
There is no doubt about it, sexual pleasure is one of the best feelings in the world.
Most people's first experience with sexual pleasure and orgasm is through masturbation. There are many feelings and opinions about "getting off" through masturbation (sometimes referred to as solo sex). For more information read our page on Masturbation and Sexual Pleasure.
What about sexual activity with someone else? Whether it is your first kiss, touching, oral sex or "going all the way," sexual activity with a partner is a powerful experience. There are choices to be made about how far you go and what responsibility you have to protect your partner and yourself from disease or pregnancy. This section deals with these complex issues.
