I think before 14 for females is too young and before 12 for males is too young... But really it depends on a person's maturity really; if you're male and you think you're ready at 11, go for it. On the flipside, if you're 19 and decide to be temporarily abstinent, that's fine too. I think it's funny that you think males should lose their virginity at a younger age, seeing as how females mature faster than males, both physically and mentally.

Honestly, it all depends on when you mature physically, though once again, like with so many of these subjects, there is a mental aspect, too. I think both sides should absolutely be sure they want to have sex, before even thinking about having it. And what that age is, depends on the person. i think before 14 for females is too young and before 12 for males is too young... Wait, what? Can you explain why males, whose body matures at a later stage, can have sex before females, whose body matures earlier? If that's purely about the mental part, who says that guys are mature at an earlier stage than girls, even mentally? I don't think so.

It's not a fact if it's not true. I just stated that it wasn't true, thus it's not a fact; it was an opinion. fixed. And it is a fact that girls mature faster than boys. It's your opinion that you're more mature than girls your age. You can't just say that you're right, and that makes it true. Not how it works, buddy. Now I'll actually address the topic at hand: In John's thread, we discussed what age a person should start dating, and I think that this should coincide with that. A 12-year-old boy who just hit puberty and is curious about sex shouldn't just go out and have sex for the sake of knowing what sex is like. You should be in a serious, committed relationship, which probably won't happen until you're at least 18.

Girls mature faster than boys at certain points in puberty. They mature at different rates during puberty.

Would you call him mature? And look at Franny. He's 13, and the most mature, serious person I know

I think you should be at least 16... 17...18. Oh. You didn't mean with me? Yeah--What Zang said, although people aren't really great assessors of their own maturity or the maturity of people they're sexually attracted to. What I said here still applies.

If you ever, ever, for a second question whether you are old enough, you probably aren't. While you should assess the situation, that's not the same as thinking you might not be old(read: mature) enough. I promise. I feel like people have begun to take the whole thing a lot less seriously than they...should. They don't take into account (because they simply don't know to) how much it changes them. That's a part of you that you can never, ever get back. I think what I'm trying to say is....just, think about it. Try not to do it for shits and giggles.

I'd say 14+ depending on whether the person is educated about it or not. If the person knows how to prevent STD's, pregnancy, etc. then I feel they should do it when they feel it's right for them.

Well, I don't know about guys, but I know that girls have something like an alarm and when their body is ready for it, it just goes off. Actually, it's not like "drrrrrrrrrrrrrrring", it's more like a hormone shower. That's what happened to me and that's why I believe in it.

I believe that unless you fully understand and are ready to take responsibility for ALL possible consequences, you should hold off.
Of course protection is mandatory, but you still need to understand that nothing is 100%. You have to be able to say to yourself: "There is a possibility that something might go wrong, and it could potentially ruin the rest of my life. As small as that chance is, am I willing to risk it? Is it worth it to me?"

I honestly think sex before the age of about 17-18 is based mostly on "I'm horny. You have the right parts. Let's do it," even if you're dating.
To answer this question, you really need to ask yourself why you have sex, ignoring the obvious procreation reasons. Do you have it because you're aroused and think they're attractive, because you like them a bit and want to do it, or because it's one of life's many ways to show you love somebody?
I don't think people view sex the way it should be viewed anymore. It's just some thing you do, like holding hands and kissing. That's definitely not true if you ask me.

I have to say that I agree with both ladies above me. There should be put enough thought.
Sex is not something you do in order to show that you love somebody, for real.
Personally, I have to admit that I am quite selfish when it comes to sex. I do it in order to satisfy my personal needs the most. I still want to do it with my partner though, because that way I am sure that nothing go wrong (even if in my case NOTHING can go wrong)
And that answers the question why I do it.

Everyone knows that you become immune to STD's at the age of 16 years, 4 months, 1 week, 6 days, 18 hours, 42 minutes, and 3 seconds. It's science. Look it up in a book. </thread>
