Sexual counseling!: First check the legal age of consent in your jurisdiction. Than make certain this is what you both want & that all precautions are taken to avoid an unwanted pregnancy & venereal disease. So I suggest sexual counseling with your Family Doctor to discuss these issues. I wish you well with your health!
