I started dating a boy a month ago. We were both 17. I turned 18 three days ago. Is it unwise to continue in a sexual relationship? What constitutes a sexual relationship, and which sexual actions could land us in trouble? How serious is the threat of being reported for/convicted for sexual crimes?

Thanks!
