Two virgins ? Use condoms?

Sounds like you?ve had an exciting summer! Kudos to you for thinking ahead about how to practice safer sex. Condoms, when used correctly, are an effective method for protecting against sexually transmitted infections (STI) and pregnancy, which is why they?re highly recommended. There?s often pressure to make your first time memorable, and it may feel like using condoms takes away from that. Instead, you may focus on enjoying your partner and the connection you?ve built while still protecting yourself and your partner against STIs and pregnancy.
