i'm only 16...and i think i'm ready to have sex..should i?

Answer 1

depends, what you think your parents would say, your friends would say, if your religion doesn't tell you about giving your virginity only to your legally married husband, and if your culture used to do this kind of thing, well, it's up to you, but if you imagine if you're not married and you do free sex and keep changing the partner, imagine if some one do the same thing to your family, example : your mom, sister, aunt, brother, cousins, etc

Answer 2

Physically, you are ready, but when it comes to the wide range of possible effects, you are not. There are MILLIONS of 17 & 18 year old girls and boys out there with babies and STDs. This didn't just happen. It happened as a result of sex. This isin't even taking into account everything that could happen with the boy. If he is 16 also, you can be 100% sure that the first thing he is going to do is tell his best buddys, and his good friends, and his casual acquaintences. They will learn every detail of the encounter, and repeat the story. His attitude towards you will change instantly. When I say that, I mean like the moment he gets off (you will not get off). The attitude change will not be for the better. That is because he, like you, are simply not ready. The thing to remember with sex is, if you want to take control, you must first take responsibility. Sex is best when the people involved rely on each other or no one for basic support. When I say that, I mean, you as a 16 yr old probably rely on your parents for support, same with him. If something happens, you can't rely on him for support and problem resolution, you would have to go back to your parents. I always like to say 'want control, take responsibility' when it comes to financial matters. When it comes to sex and relationships at your age, the most responsible way to take control is to control yourself and think about what those who are actually responsible for you would want... BTW, the fact that you used the word 'only' in your question leads me to believe that you already know that you are too young. Trust your KNOWLEDGE, and beware of your instincts.

Answer 3

First why do you think you are ready? This is something that will change your life forever and it is something you can never take back. There are a lot of resposiblilities that go along with having sex, some of which "adults" can't even handle. I think this is something you should talk to your parents about, just be honest with them.

Answer 4

I waited until I was 61. It was wonderful feeling so pure and clean all those years....

Then I found out what I had been missing.

You may be ready but you still need to pick the right guy. A wrong choice of partners would have undesirable consequences for your life.

Answer 5

Well... it depends on why you think you're ready. Are you ready because you're tired of being a virgin, or do you think you're ready because you've found someone you want to have sex with?

Don't do it just because you're ready to "do it and get it over with." If there is a guy -- how long have you known him? would you trust him with your life?

I'm not going to say: wait til marriage! or You're too young! or You don't know anything! simply because I hate it when people say that to me. Age is not a reflection of wisdom or experience.

Just be CAREFUL. You don't want to regret anything later on.

Answer 6

Sex isn't good the first time you have it. It's not even good the first 20 times you have it. They forget to tell you how much it hurts and how not glamorous it is. If you really want to enjoy it and have it be a good experience, give yourself another 5 years and do it with a man who is very experienced and mature who will make it a good experience for you. Guys your age are just not good at it and don't know how to make it good for you.

Answer 7

Hey Baby girl, Iam 17 and I'm about to be a senior in high school, and trust me it can wait. i've had a few boyfriends and trust me it's all they tinkh about and it's all they want every two seconds. it can wait cause you can get a baby. Some of my girlfriends have babies and their life has been put on hold. So while I go to prom and party they sit around with a baby crying!! So yu sound like a party gurl, so party and sex can wait, cause you have your whole life ahead of you. Most importantly don't depend on NO MAN to take care of you, YOU HAVE TO BE INDEPENDENT!!!!!!!!!!! So BE SAFE!!

Answer 8

There is no good time to have sex when you're a teen. Wait until you get married. I know from experience. I'm 18 and I have 2 baby girls and when I say baby girls I mean 1 yr. and 1 month. PLease don't do it. If you still decide to do then get birth control and talk to your parents. If you want to ask me anything e-mail me at [e-mail]

Answer 9

If by "ready" you mean you understand how important it is to respect your self, your body and mind, and have enough confidence to not become one of the many young women who believe it's ok to be used and lied to in order to live in someone else's pleasure instead of your own, then I'd say yes.
Remember how important you are to those who love you (hopefully your one of them) and take care of your self. No sex is worth dying for.

Answer 10

Ya, go ahead if your ready to be a parent. Condoms break, pills fail, so just assume when you have sex that you will get pregnant. Only abstinance is a guarentee.
