Turn down Sex when You're Not in the Mood

person, screenshot, I'm, not, the, Agreeing to have sex once doesn't mean you have to have sex every other time your boyfriend wants it. If you're not in the mood, then you shouldn't give in to him. After all, you won't have any fun unless you're just as eager to get down and dirty as he is. That's why you should know how to say "no" to your man without feeling bad about it.

Your man won't mind. In fact, most men think it's sexy when a woman takes control in the bedroom. So hop on his lap, french kiss him, and do whatever else you need to do to let him know what's on your mind.

Put on a Condom

Of course, that means that you should know how to unroll a condom, how to open the package, and where to buy them. It's better to be safe than sorry.

4

Make Yourself Orgasm

5

Get Tested for STDs

hair, image, hairstyle, long hair, emotion, It doesn't matter if your boyfriend swears that he was a virgin when he met you. If you're sexually active, then you need to get tested for STDs. The sooner you find out if you're infected, the better, because there's medicine that can help you. You don't want to end up making things worse by waiting years to find out if you're healthy or not.

Take the Pill

black, white, black and white, image, photography, If you're sexually active, you should talk to your doctor about the birth control pill. It'll help prevent you from becoming pregnant. If you end up taking it, you should know the proper way to use it. That means you should never skip a day, and that you should take it around the same time each day. Otherwise, it'll be useless.

7

Take a Pregnancy Test

face, mouth, head, finger, organ, Even if you're on the pill and always use condoms, there's still a small chance that you'll become pregnant. That's why you should know all of the signs of pregnancy. You should also know where to buy pregnancy tests and how to take them to see if you're going to be a mother.

Stay up on Routine Health Checks

person, image, close up, romance, interaction, It's always important when you're sexually active to not only get tested for STDs, but also carefully maintain your yearly Pap smear. You want to make sure you haven't developed anything that maybe wouldn't show on an STD check.

Ask about Their Sexual History

black and white, black, person, photography, monochrome photography, If it's a boyfriend/girlfriend you're probably going to have asked this before, and sometimes in the heat of the moment it slips our minds. However, you should always make sure you ask because, while some people may lie, others might be more forthcoming if you're open to hearing it. This could prevent you from contracting something you could have avoided because they maybe thought you knew.

Say No

face, newscaster, Sex is a very feminist act when you think about it. The who, where, why, and when are all up to you. Saying yes to a guy doesn't mean you have to say yes to his friend. And it certainly doesn't mean you can't say no in the future. Having a voice is so important when you're sexually active because it can save you from a potentially dangerous situation later on.

If you've been having sex with your boyfriend, make sure you learn how to do all of the things listed above. What other responsibilities do sexually active women have?
