Scenario 1
Dear Agony Aunt
Please help me you are only hope. I am 15 years old and I have been
going out with this guy for two years. We became sexually active six
months into our relationship. I did not really want to, but I love him
and did not want to loose him.
I did however manage to tell him that if we were have to have sex, he
must use a condom. He says that sex does not feel the same with a
condom, but I’m scared of falling pregnant, or maybe even getting
AIDS. I asked my best friend for advice and she told me that if I want
to hold him, then I had better have sex without a condom. ( 5 minutes
