How do you get them to....

Teachers, health people, parents and peers are always dropping the same, sound safe sex advice: Be monogamous, wait for sex if you can, limit your partners, wear a condom and get tested. This is all great advice, but they never tell you HOW to negotiate all these rules and requests!

First things first: Monogamy and waiting for sex. The general sentiment of our society is that you should wait for sex and if you have it, it should be in a relationship where you and your partner are exclusive. That’s what the sentiment is, but TV, music and every other facet of culture emphasizes free love, making it hard to find that balance between waiting for sex and jumping in.
