You may be excited about having sex with a new love interest and in your excitement you should be sure that you don't forget to talk about birth control as well as efforts to protect yourself from sexually transmitted disease. This is not something that you can ignore and deal with later. You need to talk to your love interest about birth control and protection from sexually transmitted diseases before you get involved physically.
The best thing you can do is just be upfront and honest about it. Let your partner know that you don't have sex without protection. Tell them that if they are uncomfortable buying it that you will happily provide condoms and anything else that either of you feels is necessary. Just being open and honest about protection will allow you both to put all of your cards on the table and get this issue out of the way.
Being upfront and honest about it will allow you to come to the first sexual experience knowing what to expect so there will not be any uncomfortable moments where you both look at the other hoping that they have protection. When you talk about this before hand you can make sure that one or both of you has what you need to protect both of you from sexually transmitted disease as well as pregnancy. If you are comfortable enough to be having sex with a person you should definitely be comfortable enough to talk about protection.
When you bring up the topic you may find that your mate gets a little bit uncomfortable. Tell them that you don't want to make them uncomfortable but you want to get the information out of the way and make sure that you are on the same page. You can make it a very light conversation, and it doesn't have to be long and drawn out, just make sure that they understand what you are and are not willing to do when it comes to birth control and protection from sexually transmitted disease.
If your partner expresses displeasure in your requiring birth control and protection you should let them know that the way you feel is not negotiable. Tell them that you don't want to put a wedge between you and you are looking forward to getting closer to them physically but that you don't want to put yourself or them at risk and this is the only way to be sure that you will not do that.
If they do not agree, let them know in no uncertain terms that until they agree to use protection that there will not be any physical relationship between the two of you. It's better to protect yourself than to take the risk of sleeping with someone who could unknowingly give you a sexually transmitted disease that could change your life.
