Dear Queenie,
My boyfriend wants to have sex with me. He isn’t pushing me about it, but I know he wants it. I want to wait until we’ve been together longer and I know him better.
He says he’ll wait until I’m ready. All our friends are having sex.
Queenie, should I do it even though I’m not sure I’m ready?—Frustrating teenager
Dear Teenager,
No! The first time you have sex you should be absolutely sure you are ready for it and that he is the right person to do it with.
Meanwhile, spend less time alone together and more time socialising in groups – but not the ones that are talking about having sex.
