Question

supporting others in making healthy sexual choices
your friend jason is in a committed relationship with his boyfriend, carlos. they recently decided to have sex. jason tells you the following:
1 had sex for the first time on my 16th birthday. carlos and i loved each other, so it seemed like the right thing to do at the time. since we were in a committed relationship, i knew using a condom wasnt necessary.
once we began having sex, though, i felt like carlos wasnt interested in spending time with me anymore. we never go to the movies or do any of the other things we used to do. all he seems to care about is spending time with my body\
