Q: 

Is it outercourse?

My boyfriend and I were making out, and he keeps trying to dry hump me. I keep moving away and so he rubs against other parts of me... like my leg or near my vagina, but not on my vagina. Does that count as dry sex/dry humping/outercourse?

Thanks

so, if I consider oral sex to be sex... does that mean I had sex with him?

Hello Anonymous,

Yes, oral sex is sexual activity.

Let me point out that sexually transmitted diseases or STDs, including HIV, herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, HPV, and viral hepatitis can be passed on through oral sex. Be careful.

I guess I didn't phrase that right. I didn't have oral sex with him, because I consider that sex. I'm a virgin, but I wanted to make sure that his rubbing against my leg didn't mean I had sex with him. It wasn't something I initiated with him, and I told him to stop but after a while he would start in again. I guess I just want to make sure I didn't accidentally go too far with him... if that makes sense? :( Thanks, Maryann

Hello Anonymous,

Your boyfriend may be ready to go all the way. Are you?
The decision to be sexually active is yours. It is something you and your boyfriend need to talk about and be respectful of each other. If you are ready, then you need to choose and use birth control regularly and consistently.
