1. Just because you're "old enough" doesn't necessarily mean that you're ready.

Sex is something that you should feel ready for, no matter what age you are. Just because you are over a certain age doesn't mean you are "behind" if you have not lost your virginity. Sex is something you should not think about lightly, and if that means waiting is what's best for you, then that's what you should do.

2. Be strong and say NO if you are feeling pressured.

There is a lot of pressure for us millennials to grow up fast. If you are feeling pressured into having sex, stay strong and say no. A true man will respect your decision and be willing to wait until you are ready.

3. Protection doesn't make you "less cool."

There's so much talk from our society that protected sex isn't "cool" or you'll be labeled as something less than stellar if you use protection. The real truth here is that if you don't use protection, you are so much more at risk of getting a life-threatening disease. There are many different ways to protect yourself from harmful diseases.

4. Your sex life is private, so let's keep it that way.

Your sex life and your love life in general does not need to be broadcasted to the world through social media. There are a lot of people these days who post everything about everything on the internet, but if you feel like you don't want to be that person, you don't have to be.

5. You create your own timeline of events.

You will be ready when you are ready, and you don't need to rush that.
