Talking About Sex

I think the biggest sexual pressure that freshman face when entering college is the pressure to fit in with everyone else, even if it means going beyond what you are comfortable with. As people try to fit in and find new friends in a strange environment, they can feel the pressure to engage in sexual activities that they aren't ready or comfortable with. The biggest form of pressure freshmen feel is peer pressure. If all of your friends are sexually active and broadcast that they are, someone can feel pressured to start having sex.
I've never Googled someone before or after a date and I don't plan on it. The internet is a scary place, where a lot of the stuff is either false or very confusing. I would much rather find out about the person by actually meeting them than by reading things online.
Advice I would have for someone who will be entering college next year would be this:
1.) The decision to have sex should be your own. It shouldn't be influenced by pressure from outside people or by drugs/alcohol.
2.) Your partner should also be comfortable with the decision and feel no pressure.
3.) You should trust and respect your partner.
4.) Know your partner, and if they have any STDs

The most important thing is communication with your partner. That way both of you know know where the other stands and if you are both comfortable. Remember that not everyone is doing it, and that there is no rush to jump into any sexual relationship.
