Making a Decision About When to Have Sex

Several things may impact a person's decision about when to have sex:

Choosing the right person: You may have certain standards about a person with whom you would consider having sex. You might want to feel respect, trust, or love before having sex.

Choosing the right time: Perhaps school is too stressful, you're still dealing with a bad break-up, or you're just not ready for a variety of personal reasons. Maybe you want to wait until you're in a serious, committed relationship or married.

Choosing the right circumstances: You might not want to have sex in specific circumstances for a variety of reasons; maybe you're tired, have had too much to drink, or aren't ready to go there yet with a particular partner.
