[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ecofem: [QB] Thanks for your kind words! :) Yes, the irony about abstinence only education is that it's [URL=http://www.scarleteen.com/blog/heather_corinna/2010/01/29/whats_the_typical_use_effectiveness_rate_of_abstinence]pretty darn ineffective[/URL], too. Here's the thread on [URL=http://www.scarleteen.com/forum/ultimatebb.php?/ubb/get_topic/f/37/t/000348.html]attending school while dealing with traumas[/URL]. I think checking out an on-campus support group would be great; if it's a good one, they're going to be very understanding and accepting of you and your level of participation. I think it's good if you're feeling like you could handle the emotional side of a casual relationship but it's also important you are not only ok with but would *enjoy* the physical as well. You certainly would have the option of not seeing this guy again *but* I don't think that's necessarily the best mindset to go into this with, you know? Your being OK with all this is essential, but it's also important that he's truly on board and you're both on par because it's no fun to be treated like someone's guinea pig, even if it's a casual thing. ;) Here are some articles on [URL=http://www.scarleteen.com/tags/experimentation]experimentation[/URL] and [URL=http://www.scarleteen.com/tags/exploration]exploration[/URL], which can apply to sexual encounters of all kinds. [URL=http://www.scarleteen.com/article/advice/navigating_sex_and_sexuality_after_a_long_history_of_abuse_and_assault]This one[/URL] I recommend a lot but please do be careful because it has some possible some triggers in it.
