•
• If your partner is a minor, under the influence of drugs or alcohol, if he or she is pressured or threatened in any way, if he or she says NO or STOP at some point, you are not legally allowed (but nor moral) to venture into sexual contact. This is sexual abuse and is punishable by law
•
• You may become pregnant or you may become infected with any sexually transmitted disease from a single unprotected contact
•
• Methods of contraception and prevention of STD infestation are effective as long as they are used correctly. Missing contraceptives and reused condoms put you in danger of facing unwanted situations
•
• If you are not feeling well emotionally or physically, you should stop having sex, do something you do not want to do or do well at that moment.
What not to miss when you want to have sex:

•
• A safe place to have sex
•
• Respect and trust (ideally derived from love) between the two partners
