I’m always impressed with young people who ask questions about sex. This is an important time in your life for thoughtful decision-making, especially about your sexuality. I’ll give you basic answers & recommend you go to the library or bookstore to look at more detailed information in a book by Ruth Bell of The Boston Women’s Health Collective called "Changing Bodies, Changing Lives," about young adult sex & relationships. If you are asking about the kind of sex called vaginal intercourse, your erect penis would go into your girlfriend’s vagina. If you haven’t been comfortable enough &/or had privacy enough to realize that she has this opening between her urethra (where she passes urine) & rectum (where she passes bowel movements), I recommend you enjoy other kinds of sexuality for now (such as mutual masturbation). What’s important at your age is to learn about your own body, what excites you & how to keep yourself healthy & safe during sexual experiences. My guess is that your erection loss is due to anxiety (nervousness). Even if you are not the least bit worried or nervous, it’s natural for your penis to go through stages of excitement—no male simply gets erect & stays that way until ejaculation (cumming). Focus on enjoying yourself & pleasing your girlfriend & the erections will take care of themselves. If you decide to have vaginal intercourse & don’t want her to become pregnant you need to talk with your girlfriend about using condoms or some other reliable form of birth control every time you have sex. Be sure that you’re using condoms correctly-- read the package for directions & practice using them during masturbation so you are an expert before using condoms with a partner. Condoms can be purchased whatever your age & are provided free in many health departments & free clinics. Condoms also help protect you both from sexually transmitted diseases. Look in your telephone book yellow pages for clinics. You can phone without giving your name & ask about condoms & other birth control counseling to jointly decide what method is best for you. Contacting us was a great start in learning to make responsible decisions about your sexuality. Let us know if we can be of further help.
