writes:I have not had sex for over a year since my last relationship. I have never believed in just having sex with someone that you are not in love with or who is your significant other. Also, there is a risk of contracting HPV from someone which is not a good thing to have. All these factors I take into consideration and am scared that I won't be able to be intimate with my future significant other whoever that may be. Also, I cannot have a friends with benefits situation because of my fear. What should I do?

 I can understand your fear completely. I agree I think sex should be kept for someone who you want to be in a relationship with. I guess when you do get in to another relationship, both of you should go to a sexual health clinic and get tested for any infections so that you both know everything is clear. Also in regards to HPV there is a vaccine that you can get to prevent from catching this, so I suggest maybe heading to your doctor to discuss this, and also explain to him how deep your fear is, as you may need some counselling or therapy if things are really bad. Good luck.
