When (which age) do you think it's ok start having sex?

[HartleyB]

Whatever legal age it is doesn't really matter to me, I Think that if you are older than 18 and hooking up with someone younger than 18 then you are taking advantage of them, when I think of when I was 16 I was so naive and stupid and to think I could Rationally decide on something like having sex with someone is crazy and I also think we put to much pressure on young people in general these days in high school at that age for other things, leave it till 18 at least honestly! Just my opinion :)

[SueShe]

In no case before the child is out of age and that would be 18+ in most Western countries I presume.

What would happen if a child has intercourse and is incapable to take up his/her responsibility? Right, either the fetus is sentenced to death, the child requires states support, that is from the tax payers, or the parents/family will need to help financially for a stupidity that could have been avoided until the child grasps the extend of what the consequences might be.

A lot of people are not going to like me.

But about 16 or so, some a little younger and some a little older. Their bodies are ready to reproduce by then.

And don't give this shit that they are to young crap. Also don't say they are not mentally capable to handle it.

How many girls got pregnant at that age and many did just fine.

So blow it out your ass you NAH sayers

[Daniela1982]

Why would you say that? Would you want your 16 year old daughter having sex and getting pregnant? Don't you think kids in high school should have other priorities besides having sex? Good grades and getting into college would be a better use of time. Having friends and meaningful relationships that may last a life time would be another alternative. What's next, having sex in grade school? How many got pregnant at that age and did fine? How many got pregnant and didn't? How many never finished high school because they had a baby to take care of? If you think abortions are a form of birth control then you are a douchbag.

See did I say, I'll ruffle some feathers. Look if you raise your kids right you should have nothing to worry about. I have 9 kids and 6 of them are girls. My youngest daughter is 22 and is pregnant now. See raise them with good values and morally set them up for life. If you did your job right, what's to worry about. Learn to trust and listen to them. Don't be a dick of a parent, but don't let them have a free for all either. But if they do happen to get pregnant (and it happens) at a young age. Don't be a ass, they are going to need you more then ever. Don't do what my mom did to my sister. My mom beat her up, made her feel like shit and forced her to get a abortion. Mistakes happen don't make it worse. Be the great parent, by teaching them how to be a great parent, by setting the bar.

[Daniela1982]

The question was at what age. Don't you think 18 would be more appropriate? There are 1 million teen girls that get pregnant every year in the US. It shouldn't happen to any girl still in high school. I guess the Sex Ed. classes are either lame, or the kids are too busy sexting each other in class to pay attention. :(

[humanearth]

@Daniela1982 I'm not changing my mind. I'm sticking with 16 or so. You do realize the under 18 pregnancies have been around as long as humans lived. Its part of life and fact. It's not going to stop. No matter what you say. The only way is to kill all humans

[Daniela1982]

I realize it isn't going to stop. Kids will be kids, but someone doesn't have to perpetuate it and endorse it either.:(

[dublin_sexyeyes0]

Im not going to bang on about the legalities of consent. My view is simple... only do it IF you're fully aware of what you're doing, fully aware of the possible consequences, are not being cohersed or forced and you're comfortable with the other person. Never ever do it out of necessity, fear or peer pressure. Do it ONLY when you feel 100% ready

[Breanna_nonbinary]

Age is just a number, when they are old enough to know the consequences and they feel that they are ready.

[AmanoYin]

21... people are idiots... 25 if you can wait...

[AzureGirl]

Not until they have received sex Ed in school and are mature enough to be put on birth control and buy condoms.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Whatever age you and the partner feel ready

[Listenhear]

I’d say it’s preferable to wait until they understand sharing their body is more than just orgasms

[Astarlessnightsky]

After/during puberty, so about ~14 years old with other ~14 year olds.

[creambutter656]

Anytime after puberty and as long as you are enjoying it.

[kbharadwaj3125]

After marriage

[boggboss]

18 plus if we are just throwing out numbers

[Mihael_M]

I'd say at least older than 15 because then you kind of get the idea of what it is you're doing. Different with every individual tho

[supercutebutt]

I knew a girl who started at 12. I think that is too young. So I would say at some point in your teens.

[BeenThereLovedIt]

Technically anyone who has finished going through puberty is ready for sex.

Personally, I say whenever you feel you are ready is probably the appropriate age for YOU to start.

[Gwenhwyfar]

Oba. Forest goddess.

Depends what kind of sex you mean

[Haelaeix123]

Personally id say around 18

[Drumlin2001]

16 yr old

[Hollywoodundead677]

The age I think you should or be ok to start having sex is honestly whenever you feel ready for it, preferably when you’re in a committed relationship, when your partner loves you and respect in vice versa.

[bodukem]

I say at whatever age you feel comfortable as long as you're doing it safely but it definitely helps when you have a dad like mine who gave me a box of condoms at the age of 13 because he could already see it I was interested in girls I personally think parents need to do a much better job of making sure their children are properly prepared for sex because it's an inevitability

[RyanK9]

~18 years

[DJ1998]

Experimenting at 14 to 16 and brobs full blown sex at 17 or 18 onward

[Thatsamazing]

The age of it's-not-my-business-and-I-don't-care-as-long-as-the-people-involved-are-the-ones-making-an-intelligent-decision-which-is-ultimately-still-a-bit-subjective-so-it's-still-up-to-them-and-there's-no-right-answer-to-this-question.
