How old should you be when you lose your virginity?

Question

How old should you be when you lose your virginity?

Answer 1

sexual maturity is relative, but no matter how old you are, you should weigh the consequences of pregnancy, disease, and potentially disturbing feelings against the powerful potential positives like love, pleasure, and a general sense of well-being.

Answer 2

It depends on the maturity of the person. The average I would say should be 20. Though being married would be better.

Answer 3

Whenever you think you're ready.

I lost mine at 16, scared to DEATH.

But I really loved my boyfriend.

I was with him for 9 months.

And now I'm 18 and we still get together sometimes.

But I'm just saying, at ANY age that you decide to lose it.

Make sure that it is the person you want to do it with.

Make sure that you are mentally prepared, and know that you can trust that person.

And know that they just won't run away afterwards.

Make sure that those feelings you have for them. are real and just won't go away once if you do have s*x with them.

Answer 4

At least 18, but if you are still wondering if you are old enough, then you are not.

Answer 5

When you feel your ready

I was 14 (I know thats really young)

But I dont regret it, it was with someone I loved at the time

Im glad I wasnt one of those drunk girls who dont even remember it

Im pretty much against waiting for marriage, Im more for waiting for someone you love not sleeping around

Spread Love not Legs

Answer 6

when you are married. Im 25, virgin and engaged. Im so glad I saved myself for my husband unlike most women my age who has already been with tens or dozens of men already.

Answer 7

I lost mine at 14.

That was cool with me!

Answer 8

I would honestly say when you are married. I actually lost my virginity when I was 16 and completely regret it. It is such a special thing to share with your wife/husband and too many people take it for granted these days.... I know I did when I was a kid.

Answer 9

I can only speak for myself.  

I don't regret having s*x when I did.  It was with a person that I respected and loved.  The act of having s*x could be two things.  To have s*x, or to make love.  I think people's take on s*x vary, judge for yourself.  Listening to you inner voice is both wise and mature.  Listening with you legs or whats between them might lead to regrets and circumstances that could hurt you psychologically, physically, and spiritually.

Just remember, if you choose, choose for yourself and not for someone that might be asking or egging you on.  Listen to yourself.

Best of luck,

Answer 10

wait untill you reach 18 but older is better and having a hubby is nice too.

Answer 11

well i believe that people should wait until they are married until they should lose their virginity.

but - if not - you should be in a VERY serious relationship.

and it all depends on how mature you are, too.

also - i know it might be awkward - but ask your parents.

they know best.

and their answer will help you decide, trust me.

Answer 12

When you are old enough, and mature enough to understand and accept the consequences that could come with having s*x. And i dont always believe that maturity and age go hand in hand, but a 15 year old(which is how old i was) is not settled enough or in a financial or emotional situation to have a baby, no matter how mature.

Answer 13

I lost my virginity at age 21 and got pregnant soon after. The only advice I give is that you are sure that you are in a committed relationship and your boy friend/girl friend will be there for you no matter what. I do not think you need to be married.
