“I'm 18 and I'm not afraid to wait. Sex shouldn't be rushed and people shouldn't worry so much about what others say. Listen to yourself. What do you want?”

Safer Sex
Being responsible about sex by doing things that reduce your chances of getting or spreading a sexually transmitted infection or becoming (or getting a girl) pregnant. Usually, this means using a condom during intercourse, limiting the number of partners a person has, and getting tested for infections. Recognizes that no sex is completely “safe” or risk-free.
