I'd say I'm old enough to have sex now, and I have been
approached by girls in the past but never did. I just want
to know about the actual action, how it starts and when do
you know when to stop?

Well, there are a lot of things to take into consideration.
Were condoms used? Are you on any type of hormonal birth
control? Did the male ejaculate inside the female's vagina?
Statistically speaking, females are least likely to get
pregnant 2 days before and 2 days after their period.
However, if your period is irregular, it may be dfficult to
tell when that is. There is no 100% safe time of the month!

Being old enough to have sex and being emotionally ready to
have sex are two different things. You will want to start by
making sure you and your partner are ready on both levels.
Things will probably start way before anything physical
happens with a conversation about if you are ready and if
so, how you will protect yourselves against STDs and
pregnancy. When you are physical, you should both be
comfortable with anything you decide to do and stop if at
any time either of you is not comfortable.
