first of all, I’d like to preface this by saying I’m autistic and struggle with anxiety, so I’m kind of worried I’ll be taken advantage of and I’m not sure how to do it safely.
I want to lose my virginity and try new experiences, but I’m very scared of things going wrong. I’ve been taken advantage of in the past, and now that I’m old enough to make my own decisions I’m really worried about it happening again.
I’m also worried about possibly getting pregnant or getting an STI, but I don’t know how to find guys willing to wear a condom since most of the people I’ve tried to talk to want to have sex unprotected.
Are there any things I need to know to have safe sex and meet up with people with the least amount of risk possible? I wasn’t in school for sex ed but I know the basics.
