I'm very forgetful, and at times I forget to take the pill. My boyfriend and I have unprotected sex, so I was wondering if I miss a day with out taking the pill what are my chances of getting pregnant? How long before the sperm dies?

I would appreciate a little light shed on my question, it puzzles me greatly. I asked a good while ago if I could start on Birth Control, and my father actually wouldn't mind, in fact, he supports it. My stepmother, on the other hand, doesn't seem comfortable with it. Despite the obvious discomfort, she said she'd call her doctor and see what she could do. Days later, she told me they won't take anyone under 18. This confused me. I know many teenagers on Birth Control. I hope she's not just saying that, although it wouldn't be the first time she did something rather similar to that. At first I got the feeling that she thought I would change if I was on the pill, like I was invincible and I could never get pregnant, so I can have sex whenever I want. The thing is, I'm not sexually active, I'm a virgin. I often get the feeling she thinks I'm a tramp. I would NEVER think in that fashion. So, my question to you, do you have to be a certain age to consult a doctor about Birth Control? And although I'm only 16, would that be my personal choice to take the pill? Or do they have a say in it until I'm a legal adult?

Is it true teens won't use condoms the way adults use them? And is it true condoms wont protect against AIDS?

A couple of years ago I was over at my best friends house and we were in her living room ready to go to sleep and we were just talking and she asked me if I masturbate and I told her I did and then she started to rub her clitoris and then she started to rub mine. After that she asked me if I had ever kissed a girl and I said no then we started to make out and stuff. I know I'm not a lesbian but what we did was a lot of fun, is this normal for girls to do this sort of stuff together?

I’m a 14 year old boy. There is this girl that really likes me and I feel the same way about her. We want to have sex, but we’re both uneasy about it. What should we do?

Why is it that guys find it a turn off when a girl drinks? When it comes to guys, it does not matter if they drink or not, but when it comes to girls they can't drink at all -- why is it like that?

Hello,
I am a mother of a young 14-year-old girl. Recently my daughter approached me with a question, and I wasn't sure about my answer. She has a boyfriend, and they have been together for 6 months. She told me that he had asked her to have sex and she said no. He later asked her a couple of times to let him finger her, since it wasn't sex. She finally gave in and let him do it to make him happy. She said that the three times he did it they were both fully clothed, and he just went down her pants. She got scared the third time, because he was hurting her and he wouldn't stop and did it harder. when he finished she said he had a little blood on his finger. She then went to the bathroom and told me that a lot of blood came down and it felt like her period but it wasn't. My daughter wanted to know if she was still a virgin, and my heart was aching. I told her she was, but not quite sure about the whole incident. She apparently told me that most girls are letting their boyfriends do that because it's not sex and they stay virgins. I really need your expert advise so I can convince her about the truth. Thank you, and I know this is an ongoing action in teens today, and they really don't realize it's playing with fire.
