I wanna do more stuff with my boyfriend but im scared too...

Asked Oct 24, 2010, 11:23 AM — 27 Answers
I'm 15 and my boyfriend is 17 and we've been together for nearly a year and I want to do sexual stuff with him but I'm scared too... I'm self conscious about my body and think I'm fat and ugly and everything and I don't know what to do about it because I'm scared he won't like what I look like... I know I'm ready for all this but my body just makes me self conscious, what should I do?

You should be more scared of becoming pregnant more than him not liking what you look at,
Just wait till you are ready to be a mother and can support yourself.

No, clearly you are not ready for all this. Not even anywhere near ready. You're only 15. If you were something like 20 and 22, or 27 and 29, the age gap would be nothing. But at 15 and 17, it's clearly too much.

Are you ready for a child? Or dealing with an std? Or what if he leaves after you begin having sex with him? Are you ready for that?

And being sexual with him is not going to raise or help your self esteem.

What yo need to be doing right now is focusing on learning to love yourself and you school work.

More importantly, you could be risking a jail sentence for your boyfriend as you are probably underage.

Is your boyfriend pressuring you?

But its not something you SHOULD want to do. Especially not sexual intercourse. NO one should engage in sexual intercourse unless they are ready to have a child.

When I was 22 and having my first child...I thought I was pretty young to be having a baby. In the hospital, there was a 15 year old girl giving birth too. The scary thing about it was that my boyfriend of two years didn't want the baby, but I couldn't give it up. That was 28 years ago.... I don't think you are ready for sex especially if you have a low self esteem and poor self image about your body. Being "sexy" starts with having good feelings about yourself and the only way to establish that would be to remain a virgin until you understand the complex emotions that will come with your boyfriend dumping you once he gets what he wants. Ask him this...."are you ready for marriage"? If the answer is no, then he's probably not ready to accept the consequences of you becoming pregnant, should you engage in intercourse. Also, can you confide in a female friend or relative, even your mother about your feelings. You should not have such confusing feelings about sex at this age. Talk to someone closer to you, who knows you well.

To answer your real question, you should be proud of the way you look and not doubt yourself. If you want to have a more sexual relationship with your boyfriend just make sure to be protected so you don't end up making a mistake.

It is very contradictory to say that you are ready for "more" when you have not gotten over the innate fears that all people in this world have, which is being self conscious. Look at things from a different perspective, you being ready for more is good, but it takes two people to have intimate relations. Now, do you think that if you both are ready and he actually wants to have sex with you that he would not enjoy how you look? If he didn't like the way you looking whether your tall, short, fat, or skinny, then he probably wouldn't be with you anyways. Unless this is an online relationship, then he already knows what you look like and if he has been mentioning sex then he obviously likes the way you look enough for him to want something more than a friendship with. I don't want to come off as someone who is pushing you to have sex, because I believe that the only person that decides that is you, and the person who you are with. But if you want to, then DO IT! And also, if you decide to do it please use protection as pregnancy and STD's are always a problem within our age group, use a condom even if you are sure that he doesn't have an STD, and if you are on birth control it is your choice and your risk because even though it is 99.9% efficient it only take the 0.01% for you to get pregnant.

Good Luck,

Javi

Are you really encouraging or even condoning a 15 yr old to become sexually active? That is VERY imperfect advice! We don't do that here!

You may not be "pushing it" but you are, at the least, condoning it. And that is irresponsible. You may "believe" that only the participants can decide, but the law says otherwise. The fact is that most teens are not emotionally prepared for the complications that becoming sexually active involves.
