Is Sex Right for Me?
1. Have my partner and
I talked about the possible consequences of sex, such as STD’s, pregnancy?
2. Do we both want the
same thing (casual sex, relationship, etc)?
3. How will I feel about
this tomorrow?
4. Am I following my
values and morals?
5. Am I letting alcohol,
low self-esteem, or peer pressure make this decision for me?
6. Do I know how to
use condoms or other STD protection?
