Line of Progression
Sex is not a single act. You don't just meet someone and then have sex and then go on with life...unless you are part of a teen drama show made specifically for television.
Think of it this way:
Imagine the following illustration as a staircase. When a baby finds the stairs in a house generally the parents will put up a baby gate to keep the baby from climbing up the steps. The parents know that it can be a dangerous place. If the baby climbs up to the first step and falls, he probably wouldn't even notice it much. He might cry for attention but not because he's hurt. But if he gets to the third step and falls, there would be real tears. He would get over it but he may have a bruise or maybe even a broken bone. But if he made it all the way to the top of the staircase and then fell down, there would be tears from the parents and the baby. There would be a trip to the Emergency Room. There may be permanent damage. The farther he goes, the greater the risk. The baby gate is a boundary put in place to keep the baby safe. Boundaries in physical relationships are established to keep you safe. The farther you go emotionally and sexually the greater the risk. Sexual Activity is not something to mess around with. Consider setting up a "baby gate" in your relationships. Set boundaries of places you won't go and things you won't do. Check out our safe dating tips to get you started in the right direction.
