Sex is a personal decision, and its consequences depend heavily on the circumstances.

They can include emotional intimacy, relationship changes, pregnancy, or sexually transmitted infections, depending on the circumstances.

The best protection comes from informed choices, mutual consent, communication, appropriate contraception, and regular healthcare.

Instead of asking only what might happen after sex, a better question is:

“How can I make sure my choices are safe, consensual, and right for me?”
