Hi,
This is wonderful that you are educating yourself before having sex! Here are the answers to your questions:
1. Condoms absolutely are essential to decrease the chance of pregnancy, if no other birth control is being used (and, they help protect against sexually transmitted diseases and infections). Condoms are up to 98% effective at preventing pregnancy. It is important that you use a condom correctly, however! Be sure and practice using one (it is OK to practice when you are alone!), and read the instructions carefully. The most common mistakes are: not leaving room at the tip of the condom, called a reservoir tip, that is to have extra space to hold the ejaculatory fluid. Also, make sure to purchase some lubrication, found beside the condoms, and use liberally on the outside of the condom during penetrative sex.
2. Sex does not alter a woman's cycles or change her periods.
3. Sex does not alter anything about a woman's figure or change her in any other way, either. The only physical change (read above posts) would be to her hymen (skin covering part of her vaginal opening) if she even still has one intact. A woman's vagina does not permanently stretch out or any other myths!
4. Viagra is only used for men when they are unable to become erect or maintain an erection
5. Let me know what other questions you have!
