Expert Answer

Possibly, as long as you're being cautious and thinking in the long-term. Consider talking to your doctor about different birth control methods, and chatting with your partner about safe sex. Always plan for health and safety instead of going with the flow and seeing what happens.

Question

When is it normal to have sex?

Ruby

Top Answerer

When you are ready and you are above the age of consent. Some people want to rush into sex, but you shouldn't feel pressured. Sex is not a competition and it should only be done when it's the right time for both you and your sexual partner. Keep in mind that some people may exaggerate or lie about having sex in order to impress people. Don't worry about that and instead go at whatever pace is right for you.

Question

Can you have sex with a tampon in?

Ruby

Top Answerer

This is not recommended, especially in penetrative sex. The penis can push the tampon further in, making it harder to remove. If you are on your period and want to have sex, your best bet would be to put a clean towel underneath.

Question

Is it okay to want sex at 12?

Ruby

Top Answerer

Many people start puberty at around the age of 12 and part of puberty that most people experience is sexual desire. You shouldn't be ashamed of this as it is normal, but keep in mind that in most places it's illegal to have sex at the age of 12. You should not have sex before the legal age of consent.
