Don't Get Naked - Physically or Otherwise - Too soon

The problem about sex is not being physically naked, but - if you're doing it right - being emotionally naked. And being emotionally naked with a stranger is really tricky. Sex moves us at the speed of light past things we ought not to be moving past at all, the getting-to-know-you stage.

There are several ways to know when it's too soon for sex: when you don't know each other's middle name. When you haven't talked about protection, when you're doing it, 'cause you think it's expected, when you're just trying to show your parents they can't boss you, when you're afraid the guy won't call unless you do, or to prove that you're not gay.

There is only one real reason to have sex: because you really want to and you can accept the consequences(and then, for heaven's sake, be responsible and make sure nobody gets hurt, sick, or pregnant). You can see why it's often wise to wait.
