Dear TeenHealthFX,

My boyfriend and I really love each other but he keeps asking about sex. I'm not ready. What do I do?

Dear Under Pressure From Boyfriend To Have Sex,

 

TeenHealthFX recommends that you read our answer to What Will Sex Be Like First Time? It goes over things to think about before having sex.  You can also show it to your boyfriend and discuss your thoughts and feelings about having sex.  Someone who truly loves you will not pressure you to do something that you don't feel ready for.  If he continues to pressure you about sex, then you will need to make a decision about whether you want to be with someone who doesn't respect your feelings on such an important and personal matter
