so I was wondering if anyone had advice on how I should approach it in a graceful, well-informed way, how to take it in stride, and how to stay safe of course.

While I appreciate concerned or protective sentiments, they aren't what I'm looking for.

You seem to be a bright, organized, well intentioned young person...good for you and welcome to our community...

Graceful is an interesting word when discussing this topic and kudos for you in selecting it...and if I may continue to enlarge upon the image...learn to dance before you join the ballet...

In other words,,try to keep sex as a part of engagement..not the main attraction...Partners who put sex as the priority will be generally self centered and interested only in immediate gratification...if that's some ones bag then mastubation is safer and cheaper if your not after the ego boost....

Secondly,,being as smart as you are,,,you know the world changed in the very late 70s and early 80s...not only can we now engage upon a practice where we can be faced with overwhelming moral decisions when we should be worried about passing a math test,,,but we can die for the price of an orgasm...

Pay attention out there while your having fun..sometimes you'll have to think for three heads...

Be well,

Lenny
