It says on the back of the condom box what the chances are. It's something small.. like 97% chance you wont get pregnant as long as the condom is used correctly.

First off, good for both of you for talking about this ahead of time. I am sure there will be a lot of people on here telling you that you are too young to have sex. You both have already demonstrated maturity by talking about it and what protection to use. There is no age that is right or wrong to have sex as long as you both take a few simple precautions. I personally was 14 my first time.
Ok to answer your question... Since you are not on any type of birth control your best bet is to use a condom. Since it is your first time you may want to buy the extra lubricated condoms.
Condoms are very simple, but make sure he puts it on properly. Pinch the tip and roll it down to the base of the penis. Read the directions on the package. If you are still a little nervous about getting pregnant, use a condom with spermicide or buy a spermicide foam or gel to use along with the condom. Also if you think you are going to remain sexually active you should really go to planned parenthood and be put on birth control. This will cost you little if any money and you don't need your parents permission.
Have fun and I hope this helps.

Read the condom box, look at pictures, check out the trojen site online where you can see a demonstration. Condoms are important for preventing STDs even if you are both virgins. There is still a chance you can get pregnant but it is very very small, like 2 or 3%. Even if you decide to go on the pill please still use a condom because that is the most effective way to prevent pregnancy and STDs. Good job on being careful and responsible.

Very small IF USED CORRECTLY. So put it on straight away, put it on carefully so it doesn't burst, make sure he comes out straight after he's done and none spills out the bottom, and checks for leaks.
If you have an accident you can take the morning after pill. Condoms are pretty good and I have used them alone to prevent pregnancy with many acts of intercourse but if it'll be a regular thing for you then you might like to consider the pill.

The pill is definitely more efficient, but condoms are effective as well. Most importantly, make sure that he's putting the condom on properly (read the package). Good for you guys for talking it through and being smart about it.

About 15%. Condoms are about 85% effective.

The rule is: if you're not ready to have a baby, don't have sex.
Even with contraceptives, there is still the chance of pregnancy. It's like being hit with lightning on a clear blue sky. The probability is always present.

Honestly, I would avoid sex all together. There are not many pros to having sex before marriage. I'm not trying to tell you what to do, but if you think about it... it's true! Lol. I hope you make the right decision. :]]]
