Hi! I'm Petra Boynton.
I'm a sex researcher with over 10 years experience. My PhD is on porn (truly!), assessing the effects of sex in the media. I train health professionals to talk about sex, and advise a number of organisations like the Family Planning Association, and BBC World Service on sex coverage. I've a regular telephone sex phone in on the BBC, and write several columns on sex and relationships. |

| The time is when you want to. If you’re still afraid, worried or uncertain it’s probably not the right time. There’s so much pressure to have sex that people do feel bad if they’re not doing it. But taking your time about deciding is the best way forward. Scarlateen have a really good resource to help you know whether you’re ready for sex or not: http://www.scarleteen.com/article/boyfriend/ready_or_not_the_scarleteen_sex_readiness_checklist

| it is completely a matter of opinion. if you are willing to wait a year then i admire you for that, because far too many people feel the only way to maintain a relationship is by jumping into bed with a person |
