Sex. What’s your first reaction to hearing this word? Whether it’s excitement, nervousness, uncertainty, or arousal, the topic of having sex for the first time can stir up a mix of emotions. It’s important to remember that there’s no right age to have sex, and it doesn’t have to be a huge, pressure-filled event. Defining sex for yourself, being comfortable communicating your needs, knowing your boundaries, and making responsible sexual health choices are all important considerations to think about before taking this step. Remember, it’s your body and your choice. If you have questions or concerns, seek out supportive, non-judgmental guidance. Above all, enjoy the journey!
