is 16 to youung to lose my virginity?

Question

well i am a virgin but im pressured all the time to lose my virginity all my friends are doing and it does get tempting some time but im also afraid of getting pregnant so there is alot of reasons for me not to do it but a few to do it but still i think i really want to have sex i just need advice on what to do

Answer 1

In your case I would say YES because you are asking? If you were sure about it you wouldn't have to ask. Sex is not the same for women and men. For women it's always more emotional, since it is a man going inside our bodies. I would suggest you wait. Most women dont have good first time experiences. Some would say wait until you get married. I wouldn't necessarily say that since you don't know when or if you'll get married, but I can guarantee if you wait until you get married it would be a better experience. At least wait until you are out of High School.

p.s. Some advice screw your friends. Sorry to break it to you but I bet none of them liked their first time, even if they say they did. Don't give up a precious gift for a stupid reason like that. Don't be a sheep. God gave you a brain use it. Obviously you are a smart girl, if not you would have already slept with a guy just ot "fit in". After you graduate you will probably never even see them again so please don't base a huge decision like this on what your friends do or think!!!

Answer 2

Yes. I think it is too young. I was 16 when that happened (I was daing the guy for a year). I'm 42 now, and in retrospect, I believe I should have waited. Ended up pregnant at 17.

Don't let friends or a guy pressure you into anything you feel you're not ready for. You'll know when the time is right.

Any guy who pushes you into doing something that you're not ready for is a loser.

You don't want to end up pregant at your age. But worse than that is the possibility of getting STD's. Some can be cured, others can kill.

Answer 3

First I want you to ask yourself why do you want to loose your virginity?? Sweetie, more that likely if you are asking this question , you are not ready. I know you are not a child, but for now focus on more important things like getting a part time job, saving money for college and building your self esteem. I lost my virginity when I was your age, and there is a price to pay. Wait untill you are married...and if you cant wait till you find someone who wants to be serious with you, not just for sex but as a person. I will be praying for you :0)

Answer 4

im 16 too. and i was pressured to have sex and the first time i lost my virginity i got pregnant. im still pregnant now and i got more than i can handle because im havin twins. sex leads to babies even when u do use condoms. sex messes with you even when ur young it causes unneeded stress, i skipped skool to hang out wit this guy that i knew since i was 6 and i thought that i would be different from all the other gurls he kick it with because we grew up together, but i ended up another notch on his bedpost and i wish i could go back in time so bad and erase all this. i didnt ask to be a parent especially a mother of two at 16, but i did the job now i gotta handle the labor. you have to believe that ur worth the wait, u dont have to have sex now. plus u shuldnt have sex wit anyone unless ur in love and can handle all that goes along wit it. like when my mom found out i was havin sex and then got pregnant and now expectin twins in a few months, its alot. dont complicate your life for a few moments of pleasure, its not worth it. trust. good luck tho, fa real...

Answer 5

If you're not ready, you're not ready. I dated a boy from high school on into college and although my friends were having sex, I decided that it was too much responsibility for me to handle. Don't let your friends or your boyfriend pressure you, everyone is different. Go watch the "40 Year Old Virgin"...

Answer 6

16 is the normal age to lose your virginity. you are your own person, if you want to have sex have sex but, don't do it just because your so called friends say you have to. its one of those things that once its gone you cant ever get it back. so be smart about it OK. and no 16 isn't too young. i was 13 when i lost mine to my boyfriend at the time. but i did it because i wanted to. and because of that, i don't regret doing it. just use a condom and make sure its not expired so it has no chance of breaking and you will be fine.

Answer 7

I was 16. I had been dating my bf for about 6-8 months when we went for it. I dated that guy for a long time and we were talking marriage.

I had opportunities to do it before that, but I never felt it was right. The guy I Iost mine to was the right one. He never pressured me, and we came to the decision together.

So, 16 isn't too young. Just do it for the right reasons, not just because "everyone else" is. Make sure it's the right guy, one who cares for you, doesn't pressure you and makes you feel like a princess. And use protection.

Answer 8

Honey, I PROMISE you that you will not regret waiting in the long run, but there is a good chance that you may regret it if you don't wait. There is nothing wrong with making your OWN decision not to do it until your ready, please don't listen to people trying to pressure you into anything- they may care about you or act like they care about you, but nobody else should be able to make a HUGE decision like that for you but you. When the time comes and you meet someone who respects you, cares very deeply for you, and understands that this is something important to you, and you care for them as well, then please be careful and enjoy yourself - even if it's something that doesn't happen for a while.

Answer 9

Listen to that voice inside of you that is warning you not to do it. You're not old enough to be a mom yet. You sound smart and you know that there are lots of reasons not to do it. The reasons TO do it will all still be there when you feel much more ready and when you are older. Don't do it just because others are...you are stronger than that girl!

Answer 10

you have to wait till your married. because if you have sex, even if you use a condom, you can still grt pregnant, and/or catch an std or aids, which leads up to hiv. and when you want to have kids, they can get infected in many ways. and they are innocent.dont always do or listen to what your friends say. because they are going to catch an std that has no cure, and you can die from it.your too young.and if you dont want to wait till marrage, just do it with someone you love. not "i knew him for 4 or 5 months, this is the guy". no, it has to be with someone you knew for like something years.
