I had plenty of safe sex in high school with people that I was "in love" with. Of course, that was a long time ago and I have since realized that I wasn't really "in love".
I imagine that in 10 years from now I will think back on the sex I'm currently having and "realize I wasn't in love" all over again. I don't mind though, it's better than looking back in 10 years and regretting not acting on that "love" whether it was real or not.
