risk

First things first: with ANY new partner -- as in, someone we have not been with for six months or more, and practicing all aspects of safer sex with -- we really, truly should be using latex barriers (condoms, in this case) with fellatio. I know, I do, that at 14, it often seems really unlikely...

Joe, I'm going to be pretty straight with you, here. The "circumstances" aren't determining your behaviour. You are both, every time you don't use condoms properly and consistently, making an ACTIVE CHOICE to take the risks that are causing you this stress. You have every possible ability to make...

If the condom broke -- which is the only way semen would be coming out of the bottom of the condom -- then you were at a high risk of pregnancy. On the other hand, if your boyfriend seemed to think the condom looked intact, but just had fluids on the outside/bottom of it, he may have been mistaking...

Sure do: that's called pre-ejaculate. Some people call it pre-cum. Pre-ejaculate -- a clear, thin fluid -- appears from the penis when a man becomes sexually aroused, and can come from the penis at the start or arousal or erection, during some sexual activities, as well as before a full ejaculation...

It's fairly unusual for two people to be on the exact same page in the exact same way at the exact same time. It happens, for sure, but especially as relationships are just forming, it's realistic to expect that at any given time, any one person may feel a bit more intense or a bit less about it...

Well, it can be a big deal, and it is for most people. One thing that is important to understand is that NONE of us -- not you at 13, not me at 37 -- are ever ready and interested in having any kind of sex in the way you're describing when who the other person involved isn't known to us. I mean...

Thankfully, there is no direct connection between one's genitals and their mouth. So no, kissing (of any sort) will not lead to pregnancy. The right bits of anatomy are just not in the right location for that to occur. Similarly, there's nothing about manual sex ('fingering') that could cause...

It's tough for me to give you a solid answer on this one, because you weren't very clear on what you were actually doing. Sometimes, when a person says they haven't had "full" intercourse, or "full" penetration, they mean they haven't had whatever their idea of that is. In other words, a person who...

In terms of your current lateness, keep in mind that you won't have your withdrawl bleed (you don't have real "periods" when you're on hormonal birth control because you are not ovulating) at the exact time that you had it before you were on the birth control. Your cycles will probably be around 28...

Your pills should be fully effective beginning at the start of your new pack. Typically, problems with pills only affect that particular cycle (unless the problem itself carries over into the next pack). So as long as you don't have any problems during your next cycle, you should be well protected...
