I get my information about sex from:

	Friends		Other family members		School health or sex ed programs
	TV		Magazines		Internet

Please tell us where else you get information about sex.

In one sentence, tell us what your first time talking with your parent(s)/guardian(s) about sex was like? Who started the conversation?

My mom found condoms in my drawer and asked me about them. I then explained that I lost my virginity and she was very angry but then she understood that I was only a teen with a strong curiostiy.

I'm a guy, only 17 years old living in New Jersey. I lost my virginity at a young age and it's not something to be proud of. I lost it to someone I fell in LOVE with, but she had nothing to lose to me. She had the nerve to tell me after the night her and I did what we had to do. I basically got super mad, and picked up my clothes, then left. The moral is to always make sure that you have confidence and full information about your partner. You might think he/she is the perfect one, but they might of had a sexual history before you and they are to shy to let it out. Build your trust, and make sure there's faith in the relationship. God is Love.

If Sex, Etc. gave you $1,000 dollars to help teens get access to honest, medically accurate and balanced information about human sexuality and to help teens make responsible choices about sexual health, what would YOU do?
