Ready?

[xXxBeautifullyBrokenxXx]

I feel really comfortable with my boyfriend and I trust him a lot. He's so sweet to me and he makes me feel beautiful just by looking at me. We haven't been together the longest though, but I feel comfortable enough and I trust him so much. I was just wondering how do you know when you're ready? && how far in a relationship you should be before having sex?

Basically when there's no doubts whatsoever on your mind and you really want to. And of course, he has to feel the same way. In a relationship there should never be any pressure to have sex regardless of how much you're in love, you could wait a month, you could wait several years, it depends entirely on how comfortable you both are.

If both of you love each other and feel comfortable, then there's no real limit. However I'd give it at least 2 months, otherwise I'm sure you won't be used to each other, or you may realise there's something that might create rifts etc.

Only you can know when you're ready to have sex. But general signs that you may be ready include comfort, trust, maturity, and communication.

You must be very comfortable around your parrner; otherwise, the experience could be awkward and...well, uncomfortable. Being able to relax is really important.

If you do not have trust, you could easily end up hurt emotionally...this would also make it very difficult fo relax.

Maturity of the relationship dictates whether or not you have trust or comfort. However, you also need to be able to discuss sex and possible consequences openly. It's okay if it takes some getting used to, but it is so important to have this.

Communication might be the most important of all. Being able to talk about what's happening, telling eachother what does and doesn't feel good...this is what makes sex so special, in my opinion. Sharing feelings and sensations with your partner can be so amazing, but you have to be able to communicate.

No matter what, make this decision based on what feels right to you. You are in control, and as much as you may love your boyfriend, you have to make this decision based on your feelings.

Good luck, and take care.

Only you can answer the question you're asking... Are you ready?

Are you on birthcontrol? Will you take precautions in having safe sex? What if something were to happen and you were to become pregnant? Are you ready to deal with the possibilities there?

Those are all things to take into consideration before you start having sex... in my thoughts if you are ready to admit to your parents that you're sexually active then you're ready to take that next step in your relationship.
