Well, the only person who knows for sure if your partner is being honest with you would be your partner. I think that is just one reason why it sounds pretty important that you revisit this discussion with him, particularly if he doesn’t know you’re still feeling unsettled or uncomfortable even...

You've probably heard or thought some things about condom use that might be keeping you or others from using them or from using them consistently, and I'm willing to bet you haven't heard everything I'm about to say. Even if you're already using condoms and using them every single time properly, I bet you know someone -- a sibling, a friend, a sexual partner -- who could stand to hear ten great reasons to use condoms.

What you need to determine, before anything else, is if you are, in fact, pregnant. To know that, what you need to do is to take a pregnancy test. You can purchase a test to take at home at most groceries or pharmacies, and home tests are very accurate. You just want to be sure that you really read...

What I don't know is how strongly attracted you've felt to your boyfriend over the years, well before now. I bring that up because loving someone doesn't always mean we want to have sex with that person, or that we're sexually attracted to them. In some ways, sexual chemistry is something separate...

If weeks after this risk, you had a normal period, then there really is no reason to be concerned about pregnancy. But if you're still worried, even knowing that, the best thing to do so that you can relax is just to go to the drugstore, get a home pregnancy test and take it so that you can see that...

There is no way that any sexual partner of yours would be able to tell that you've had sex before unless you tell them. Here's the thing though; even strictly sexual relationships require honesty. You need to be honest about your sexual history because when you're involved in a sexual relationship...
