Anyone?!

I am 18 now and had three boyfriends in the past, but never actually had sex with them.

Now that I haven't had any romantic male contact for a good 10 months, I'm yearning that again. And I'm thinking that sex will be happening also.

I just don't want to get attached to him. I hear that happening to certain ladies and am scared of that. I also was raped last year so that put off the "wanting a relationship" for a while.

I also hear that once you start having sex you will just crave it more and more and not be able to orgasm from masterbatation anymore.

I am feeling like I am ready, but would like your advice on this.
