How old should you be before have s*x for the first time?

Question

??

Answer 1

I don't think it's really about age...  I think it's about maturity.  Remember there are consequences sometimes even if you use protection you can get pregnant.  Can you live on your own? do you have the financial and emotional stability it'd take to raise a child?  If not then you're not old enough.  If you answered yes to both then make sure you are truly in love.  How long have you been with this person?  Answer these questions and then you'll have a set of guidelines that can help you decide when you're ready.  For me I'm waiting for marriage.  This way I know he is in it for the long haul and he wont leave me right after we have s*x, because if that's all he wanted he'd pick an easier target lol  

Answer 2

well the legal age is obviously 16, but if you find someone you love and respect and who is both of those back to you then i think anything over 14. im 14 and i lost my virginity about 3 months ago, me and my boyfriend are still going strong i guess hes the type of boy that doesn't just want one thing, good look darlin. xx

Answer 3

There is no "set" age.

The age at which you feel comfortable and ready, is the right age.

Don't get pressured into it, or do it because "Everyone else is doing it".

Don't rush in to having s*x if you aren't 100% sure that you are ready.

I've seen so many of my friends have s*x and then regret it.

When you are completely ready, you'll know :)

Answer 4

Get married and have people pray for you both! That'll be old enough!

Answer 5

Well the right thing to do would be too wait until your married.

Answer 6

I don't think it matters, whenever feels right to you. Just remember, be safe and don't be pressurized into it (the 'but if you loved me...' line is rubbish!).

Answer 7

There isn't a set age.  It's when you both ready and mature enough to do it.  Just be careful, there are 13 yr old girls have kids now, that's just crazy.

Answer 8

There is no set age, but there are some guidelines.

First, you need to start with some facts:

There is a 99.9% chance that the person you have s*x with will not be the person you marry.

There is a 25% chance if you don't use a barrier method of birth control you will contract something.

There is a 100% you will regret your decision if you are too young or select the wrong person.

What you need is information, maturity and time.  You can never wait long enough.

Also, choose a partner who you've known for a long time.  Remember, we don't date to change someone to conform to us, we date to OBSERVE.  Make sure to observe your prospective partner long enough to know he's the one.

Answer 9

Its not a matter of age its a matter of whether you truly love the person. Thats not to say a 13 year old who thinks she or he is in love is ready for s*x...im talking like true love when you have been together for quite a while and its likely you will marry.

Sounds old fashion...and when i think about it...i didnt do anything like that. but in a perfect world people should have s*x with their husbands because they really love eachother

Answer 10

I would advice on waiting until you're about aged 7 and then deciding if you are ready. I lost my viriginity at 9 and it was the biggest regret of my life, waiting that long.

Answer 11

Old enough to  be able to deal with the consequences just in case something happens..

I'd say 17 and older but everyone is different.   Just remember to use protection.

Answer 12

In my opinion, atleast 18.. And you should preferably be married first (once again, just my opinion).  

Answer 13

i lost my virginity at 14 and i dont regret it.

Answer 14

To me I dont think it matters.

Answer 15

married and in a convent relationship with your partner and the lord , be blessed and think before you do there is no tacking it back once it is lost    

Answer 16

As the parent of a 14 year old boy I would hope he will wait at least another year.  s*x is such a big step and a dangerous one in our time.  It wasn't so back 30 years ago.  You have to consider all the things that could go wrong and the way your parents are going to react when they find out and they will.  Are you really ready to do this or are you being lead that way by someone else or the fact that your friends say it's time to do it?  Think really hard before you decide to take that step.

Answer 17

Answer 18

18 DUH .. am sure u know that already !  

Answer 19

old enough to be emotionally mature enough to cope with the strong emotions having s*x can create. And old enough to be financially and emotionally stable enough to cope with a pregnancy if need be.  

Answer 20

well i would say wait as long as possible hey make it special at lease like 21 or something i regret doin it young an yes i know i sound g*y guys but i do
