I was 19 and not that I regret it, but if I did it all over again, I would never slept with the guy. However, that doesn't mean that every 19 year old is like that. I don't think there is any appropriate age to lose your virginity. For me, I've only slept with 2 guys. The guy when I was 19 and my boyfriend. It takes a lot for me to sleep with someone and I think everyone thinks of sex differently. My best friend thinks sex is just sex and doesn't really treat as something special. On the other hand, I feel like it's something I can only do with someone I completely trust, love, and am comfortable with. I don't think there's any age associated with that.
i didn't vote because its not about age I think if you are ready and want to for the right reasons and understand sex and know all the risks and all the contraceptions there are and just fully understand sex then I think its ok because I often see on this site people asking could they have gotten pregnant if such and such a thing happened and it makes me think you shouldnt be having sex if you don't know the answer to that.
so basically its not about age its about how well educated you are in sex and if you feel ready and comfortable and want to have sex
Nice answer :) I like the thought put into this
Thank yooou :D
Wondering, around what age do you think is appropriate though? Obviously even if an 11 year old is educated enough she shouldn't be having sex at her age.
Not until someone is in a good strong relationship that really has a good chance of making it until death do them part and are emotionally mature enough to be ready for it.
I don't think any teenager really is ready for it. (at least not at 16. That is my age and I am mature for it. Still, I understand that I'm not ready nor will I be for a long time)
I think it's great to wait until marriage, but if you can't do that, at least wait until you're legal. Personally, I think it is better to wait until the early 20s or so, since you get to experience a little life and a little love before you go off giving yourself away. And that goes for both genders. :)
I put 16-18 but really I think 16+ is a better answer. I don't believe in waiting until marriage, but I also don't think that there is a generic age for when you should. People are different and as stated below somewhere, when you're mature enough. I say 16+ because most girls I know/knew when they were 16, were not mature enough. However some can be. But as I've stated in other questions, one's "status" of "virgin" or "not a virgin" should not really mean that much.
I would say wait anything under 17 is a little iffy. most 16 year olds and below don't know what true love is.
I'm glad you said most :).
I like the responses I've gotten so far, another great one :) So true
Yes we do at least some of use do

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!I was 19, but most of the people I knew were 16-18 and the majority of them did okay with it. I knew I wouldn't have, and that's why I waited just a little longer. I've never understood waiting until marriage, not in a world with birth control anyway. I knew I didn't want to be married until I was in my 30s and there was just no way I was going to let the married people have all the fun until then. I'm really, really glad I didn't wait. I think it's the best decision I've ever made.
I say 16 and over. If its younger like 15 or 14, then I guess its ok, but always be aware that you can get knocked up, or some crazy disease, so no one can turn up to be a "baby momma"
I voted 16-18 I think closer to 18. I feel that your a bit more mature and can handle the emotional aspect of losing your virginity, especially if that's all the guy was after & kind of persuaded you into it.
i think you should do it when your ready and mature enough to deal with everything that comes with having sex,physically and emotionally.
You didn't make "When he or she feels ready" an option.
i think 16 is the best age :)
when ever your ready. I think a person has to be mature enough!
:)
wait until marriage
I was 17 when I did it.
I think it has to do with maturity and understanding what sex is all about, and knowing if the person is ready or not. Obviously, anyone younger than 16 shouldn't have sex because they are still in the process of maturing and changing into an adult. I don't think most kids at that age know how to deal with those situations, which obvioulsy points out their lack of maturity. I truly believe the right age is whatever age the person gets married. Then their 100% ready.
