Birth Control...

Mara • 19. Canadian. Not trying to conceive at this time.
My boyfriend and I are ready to begin having sex (he will be my first) and he wants me to be on birth control. He doesn't care what type of birth control and to be honest I have no idea where to begin. I've done a lot of research but there are so many pros and cons and labels. I'd really appreciate advice and personal experience/effects.
