No one can stop you from having sex, or not having it. If you want it you ll do it, because its a moment thing. However I can tell you, I was 17 and I regret it a little. It is very hard to discribe everysingle std and what causes it, what are it symptomps and how to prevent it, however if u ll wait a little u will deffinetly learn it in you health class that u either took already your freshman year in hs or will take it during you sinior year. To make a long story short, the only way to prevent it is to make sure your partner doesn't have it, and alwyas use lubricated latex condoms, to make sure the condom does not break and u don't get pregnant or any stds. From presonal expirience i would suggest trojans for her, better pleasure for u and great protection. Make sure he doesn't have mouth herpes or hiv or aids, becuase that can be transfirmed through kissing, hiv and aids if u have open cuts. So first time just relax and enjoy, if u actually will deside to do it. And always use protection, make sure your partner doesn't have anything. But if u are still debating on having it or not, I wouldn't, wait at least couple of years.

there are some STD's that can be cured and there are some that you will have for the rest of your life. please consider this when having sex with anybody. if you decide to have sex, make sure he wears a condom. like the others have said the ONLY way to be 100% safe is to not have sex. at your age it is hard to talk about STD's to your partner, but it would be smart for the two of you to go to the Dr. and get tested (i know you are a virgin, but to make it fair to him if you know he has had partners).
i know a female that had unprotected sex in college and contracted genital herpes (which is a life-long disease), and she will have to tell every partner she is with in the future that she has it, including her husband. think about how much harder that would be than to just take precautions now...
good luck

go to webmd.com and do some research there
it is a reliable site with good information
Remember, no STD prevention or birth contrl works 100% of the time. If you aren't mature enough to talk with your partner and take care of your health you aren't mature enough for sex. There may be a planned parenthood (or similar) clinic where you can talk to a dr. or nurse and get condoms.

At 15, let me urge you to wait. Your body isn't old enough at this point to really reap the lovely benefits of intercourse. Your first time should be wonderful, not painful, and at your age it will be.
You have plenty of time, there is no rush, don't let anyone push you into it.
