Hi Smithy,
The only way to really protect yourself from pregnancy and STDs is to use birth control. You are at risk for becoming pregnant if you engage in sexual activity and sperm comes into contact with your vagina (while there is a smaller risk with it being outside your vagina rather than inside, there still is a risk--one that's not worth it if you ask me). Going to the toilet and wiping doesn't make the sperm "disappear." Additionally, the act of wiping may introduce more sperm to your vagina.
Like Pat said, please educate yourself about sexual activity, and get yourself to a doctor or clinic to have your first gynecological appointment if you haven't yet (especially if you don't get your period). Talk with them about birth control. Sexual activity is exciting and new for you. Please protect yourself with condoms, spermicide, and/or birth control. Make sure to follow the directions. There are many options, and the cost is small compared to the stress you're putting yourself through, and the possibility of getting pregnant.
Good luck and let us know how you are doing.
