When you are married.
But if it is going to happen before that, be over the legal age of consent where you live. Always make sure condems are used. Not the pill, not pulling out - a condom. Nothing else protects against disease as well.
Also - you must take responsibility for your actions. Abortion for birth control is just wrong - it should only be done if the life of the mother is in serious danger. If the female should conceive, you must be prepared to either raise the child or have the child carried to term and then safely adopted.
If you are going to have sex it is your responsibility to get your self regularly tested for std's. You must protect your self and others. You must understand what sexual practices can cause disease and how to best protect your self.

I was fine losing it at 17, all these people who say you'll only get hurt losing your virginity at a young age are only talking from their own experiances and don't believe that others can be happy.
I fell in love, I waited a while, I had sex, and I'm still in love with the same man. I don't think there should be an ideal age because then people will feel pressured to "do it" at that age. So what I shall be telling my children is that you should wait till you're in love, and to go with your instincts.

The best time to have sex is after you have served your apprenticeship,gained at least10 years experience & have a partner on the same level as yourself.Finding a like minded partner is crucial.It is unlikely that those under 22 years of age would qualify.If i had to choose a precise age I would say around 40.

When you've made a true decision about whether you really want to do it... this HAS TO BE YOUR OWN CHOICE. When you're mature to understand the true meanings of LOVE and RESPECT, for yourself and your partner, and you truly love and respect your partner. When you can look after yourself and your partner emotionallly, physically and mentally. When you understand what it actually means to have sex/make love: EVERY last thing that leads to it and afterwards, every last feeling, (emotional and physical) reward and implication. When you truly feel this is the right thing to do at that precise moment, for you and your partner, without lying to yourself.
Call me old fashioned, and I'm nearly 24, but this is what i think is a good answer. Its not all about age, its maturity in every issue associated with sex and age. After you have really considered all of this then you can have fun when you have sex/make love. Just meaningful, soulful, passionate, honest, exciting and perfect fun.
Doesn't everybody want that?

Sometime after the age you are allowed to get married at. This will depend on where you live. Marriage is the key ingredient to good sex.
As far as sex drives are concerned I believe men are more driven a little after puberty (16 or so) and women a little later on (like 30).
Hope this helps.

It is not chronological age that determines when to have sex. It should be within the context of a deep committed relationship called marriage It is not recreation. It is actually deep communication and very personal and private. It is to be respected and protected It is also very powerful and to be handled very carefully. It is impossible to have sex without investing some of yourself so don't leave pieces of yourself all over You will have nothing left

Preferably when you are legally old enough for starters. Then when you are emotionally mature and your partner is the same. When you can handle the responsibility of ensuring both parties are suitably protected and can handle any consequences if something goes wrong.
Also age is just a number so you need to be ready to have sex.

When there is a common understanding between the two parties involved, i highly doubt that a teenager will understand this as they are not capable of understanding anything that extends past their hormones, having sex in your teenage years is a result of peer pressure, not for the loving act it is supposed to be. Maturity is also a definate requirement, acknowleding the reprecussions it might have, teen pregnancy for example.
after you have taken into account all of the responsibilities that might come with having sex, then you are ready.
