In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You and your partner can be physically intimate without having sexual intercourse. If you're comfortable making out but you're not comfortable having sexual intercourse, then don’t have sexual intercourse. You don’t owe it to your partner. Don’t let anyone else define your boundaries for you. Only do what you’re comfortable with. Hold hands, hug, or sit close to each other in bed. Enjoy touching and being close to one another without it having to go any further than that. Kiss each other, taking time to explore different ways of kissing. Do an online search for “how to kiss” and try out the different methods. Don’t take yourselves too seriously. Laugh when the kisses feel awkward! You’re building intimacy by experimenting with what works and doesn't work. Using a scented oil or lotion, take turns massaging each other’s bodies. How much of each other’s bodies you massage depends on your boundaries: you can just massage one another’s necks and backs if you aren’t ready to go further than that. Setting rules will not only help you stick to your boundaries; it will also make things extra sexy. An example of a rule you might set is that neither of you can remove even one item of clothing. Another possible rule is no hands allowed below the waist. Touch and kiss the areas of your partner’s body that don’t usually get attention during sex — for example, his/her legs, stomach, or back. Take time to enjoy exploring your partner’s body; build a physical intimacy with your partner that doesn’t depend on sexual intercourse. You can do this to varying degrees. For example, you might agree not to touch each other, and then sit across from each other and slowly undress. To take it up a notch, you could sit across from each other and touch yourselves, with the rule that you are not allowed to touch each other. This is a fun way for you and your partner to explore one another’s bodies without touching each other. Doing this allows you to slow down and appreciate every detail of your partner's body. Take photos of each other looking sexy in bed. You can make this as silly or as sexy as you want. Do an online search of “80s glamor shots” for inspiration.  A funny boudoir photoshoot would be to wear a fancy dress or suit and a feather boa, then make silly faces while posing on top of the bed. If you have cats, you can incorporate them into the photo for added hilariousness. Make a date to have a sexy phone call or text messaging session while you’re both in bed. This could range from flirting to sending sexy photos of each other, to having a full phone sex session.  If you do send sexy photos to one another, exercise caution: anything you send to your partner could end up in someone else’s hands. If you’re worried about someone else seeing you in a vulnerable position, either don’t take the photo, or keep your face out of it.
Summary: Give up on all-or-nothing thinking. Touch each other in non-sexual ways. Work on great kissing. Give each other full-body massages. Make out, but with rules. Explore each other’s bodies. Explore your own bodies together. Draw each other naked. Do a sexy boudoir photoshoot. Have fun  over the phone.

Better yet, until you are very experienced at riding, never go for a ride alone. Ask an experienced rider to go with you. Another rider can help you slow a runaway horse, or can get help if you are injured in a ride. Particularly if you are inexperienced at riding, do not ride a horse that is untrained or not fully broken. You should always ride a horse that is at your skill level, and you should get to know the horse and its personality before riding. Some horses startle easily or exaggerate their responses to a pull on the reins or a tap on the sides. Riding a laid-back, well-tested horse is the safest way to avoid your horse bolting unexpectedly. Horseback riding, like any sport, carries some potential for injury no matter how cautious you are. Wearing a helmet will protect your head from injury if you happen to be thrown from your horse or if you have to make an emergency jump from a running horse. One study found that horseback riders not wearing helmets were four times more likely to die due to injuries from riding than those who wore helmets. Attractive riding helmets are easy to find if you ride English style. While less common for Western-style riders, helmets are still important for safety; you can wear an English style helmet or another helmet approved for riding. Look for the letters ASTM-SEI, which indicates the helmet has been safety-approved. Although it seems like this would increase your grip and make you less likely to fall, it can also lead to a severed or disjointed hand if there is a true emergency.  Hold the reins securely with one hand, and hold the saddle horn with your other hand. NEVER let go of the reins and horn while riding. Wearing riding gloves can increase your grip on the reins and make it less likely that they will slip from your grasp. Just as you should do while driving a car, an alert horseback rider should stay alert and constantly rehearse scenarios in her mind of what she would do in case of emergency. As you ride, think about what you would do if your horse suddenly bolted at any given point in the ride. Watch your surroundings for safe routes, avoiding areas that would be hazardous if your horse suddenly bolted (for example, avoid riding your horse near vehicular traffic or near cliff edges).

One-sentence summary -- Let others know you are out for a ride. Ride a trusted mount. Wear a helmet. Never wrap the reins around your hand. Stay alert.

Problem: Article: Deciding to come out to your friends and family is a big step forward, but it's not necessarily one you have to make right now. If you feel comfortable coming out, do it. You will find people who love and support you and it will also be a lot easier to find and enter into a queer relationship.  If you don't feel comfortable coming out yet, that's okay too! The most important thing is to come out when you feel ready. If you're looking for a compromise, come out, but only to your closest friends and family. If your school already has an LGBTQ club, getting involved is an easy way to meet and surround yourself with fellow queer teens. Not only will you find a support network within the group, you will have access to fellow students who are already out, and, like you, presumably looking for a relationship.  If your school does not have an LGBTQ club already in place, consider working with an advisor to start one. Even if you don’t click with anyone in your club, chances are your friends have their own gay friends. Try to meet as many as you can and see if you find someone you’re attracted to. Many theater and art programs value diversity, allow for creativity, and give people a chance to escape the problems in their everyday lives. By auditioning for plays, joining your school’s chorus or volunteering for stage crew, you put yourself in a position to potentially meet other gay teens, plus, you may avoid much of the homophobia that is traditionally found in more mainstream high school experiences.  As you continue to get involved in theater and the arts, look for programs outside your high school to extend your network. Keep in touch with your older friends after they graduate. Visit them at college and meet their friends – you may click with someone you meet on campus. Statistically speaking, there are other gay teens in your high school – they just might not know it or feel comfortable talking about it yet. Pursue the things you love in high school and chances are you’ll meet another gay teen who is similarly interested in the things you care about.  If you’re already out, you may find that closeted gay teens flock to you, simply because you’re approachable and represent something they desperately want. Be a good friend to them and it may turn into something more. If you’re not out, don’t worry. Come out when you’re comfortable and use this time to focus on your studies and developing your personality.
Summary:
Decide whether or not you want to be out. Join your high school’s LGBTQ group. Get involved in your school’s music and art program. Do the things you like to do.
