Keep your clothes on (and a spermicide on hand). See
FAQs
Index. Wear a condom and
save yourself some worry!!! I AM NOT promoting this activity
as a form of “safe sex”. Birth control used
correctly works. (There, that was in response to one unhappy
reader who should have called his local planned parenthood).
Yes, you can wear a condom during dry sex. Hey, you can wear
a wetsuit too. Let’s not get too wacky here. If you really
don't know the answers to these questions, maybe you're not
mature enough to be having sex. Sex has consequences. Many
young people are able to handle birth control correctly, but
with 1 million unplanned pregnancies in the US a year... it
makes some people wonder.
Those
pregnancies are almost all from NO birth control being used.
She what a physician had to say on that in Teen
Pregnancy rates.
The point here is a hopefully obvious. Contraception works
if you use it correctly, every time you have sexual intercourse!
Abstinence also prevents pregnancy. What method suits your
own situation is a matter of choice. If you are not in a monogamous
relationship, ALWAYS use a condom. And of course, get tested
for HIV and other STDs
before you have a sexual relationship with a new partner.
Make sure he or she gets tested too.

To read
the Sex FAQs, look through
the index of questions. Many of the explanations to question
are there.
If you are trying to get pregnant, see the Fertility
section. Generally speaking, most women will get pregnant
within one year of not birth control. If you do not conceive,
see your GYN who will most likely refer you to a fertility
specialist. Good luck to you.
