Should I have sex with my boyfriend?
Dear aunt,<br>I am 19 and I have never been in love with another man.
Dear aunt,
I am 19 and I have never been in love with another man. However, my boyfriend tells me that if I have sex with him, then he would believe that I really love him. What should I do?
Worried lady
Dear worried lady,
Your boyfriend seems to understand the word ‘love’ as synonymous with ‘sex.’ However, contrary to your boyfriend’s belief, sex is not used as a yardstick to gauge the degree of love.
An ideal relationship requires mutual intimacy built on trust, understanding and emotional fulfilment.
Sex is not just fun, it is a responsibility that must be faced only by those who are ready. Have you thought about the risks involved in having sex outside marriage?
There is a possibility that your boyfriend is out for just fun and not commitment. You wouldn’t want to be used would you?
Sex is fulfiling when you have it with the right person and at the right time. Try to establish whether your boyfriend is genuinely in love with you or only lusts after ‘some parts of you’.
