Well, me and my new boyfriend are getting pretty emotionally close and think that sometime in the future (not anytime soon but if we stay together for more than 6 months at least) that we want to have sex. He's a virgin, so the whole STD thing doesnt worry me in his case. But I have been paranoid about any sort of problem when it comes to sex ever since I had a scare about HPV not long ago (which turned out to be a yeast infection by the grace of God LOL). But ever since then I feel like I have been taking it alot more seriously and the idea of simply using a condom just doesn't feel very safe to me. I really want to be on birth control, but my mom is strongly against sex before marriage and I know that she would probably try (key word... TRY and not succeed lol) to make me break up with if she knew we were planning on having sex in the future, since i'm just 16. I want to get a job so I can get on birth control myself, but I feel like just using a condom isn't very safe because they can break so easily. Can anybody help me figure out what to do?
