Before you start having sex with someone you need to have a discussion about birth control. A lot of people start having sex and then they talk about it, or worse, they never talk about birth control and they just assume that the other person is taking care of it. You cannot assume that someone else is taking care of the birth control.
There are two reasons that you need to be certain that you talk about birth control before you have sex. First and foremost, you want to make sure that you are protecting yourself against sexually transmitted diseases. So many people believe that they will never be touched by sexually transmitted diseases, but this is just not true. While you may not necessarily end up with something life altering, you could end up with something that makes you uncomfortable or even something that will never go away.
Another reason that you want to make sure to talk to your romantic partner about birth control is to protect you both from an unwanted pregnancy. Many men want to assume that a woman is on birth control and that she can't get pregnant, but you cannot just assume something like this. You need to talk about who will be responsible for birth control and what you will both to do avoid an unwanted pregnancy.
Not sure how to talk about birth control? It can be difficult to bring this up, but the way you know that you are ready to sleep with someone is if you can talk to them about important things such as this. If you cannot bring up birth control, chances are you do not know the person or yourself well enough to sleep with them.
The best thing that you can do is bring it up casually but make sure that you walk away from the situation with an understanding. You can approach the conversation by saying that you know you are getting closer and you're excited about it, but you want to be responsible. Tell them that birth control is something that is important to you, and you want to make sure that you are on the same page before you make that first move. Chances are that both of you will fee a lot of relief when this topic is brought up and the issue is resolved once and for all.
Talking about birth control ahead of time will keep you from experiencing those awkward moments when the mood does strike. The talk will allow you both to be prepared for that special moment and move forward with confidence when it does happen. This talk is perhaps one of the most important you will have in your relationship, so take it seriously but then move on and have fun!
