When it comes to lovemaking, you don’t have to try everything

Being ready doesn’t mean being ready for everything! You don’t have to do everything your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to do. No sexual activity is obligatory. Stroking, masturbation, kissing, oral sex, intercourse… intimacy can be shared in so many different ways. You can say no to what you don’t want to do and talk to your partner about what you do want to try.

And remember that you’re allowed to want something… and then change your mind right before or even during! You have the right to refuse or stop any kind of sexual activity at any time if you’re not comfortable any more, it hurts, or you just don’t like it. No reason is wrong or not good enough. And if ever your partner asks you to slow down and move at his/her pace, it’s important for you to show respect too. This is a game for two!
