and of course if you are safe about it.

I resent the fact that many adults think that teenagers in love are irresponsible and don't really know what love is. I am a teen and i am very mature for my age. I am in love and I believe I know exactly what it is, what it means and how to handle it. I don't think there is a right age to start having sex.. It's all up to you and your partner and weather it feels right. Just be careful and be true to yourself. You know yourself better than anyone else does so don't let anybody bring you down or tell you you aren't in love. Good luck!

My advice is to wait until YOU are ready. To each its own! We all know what's better for one person may not be for someone else and we all have diff. beliefs/morals about this situation. If you truly think you are ready then make your decision based on that. Realize though, that you must take responsibility and be SAFE!! If you aren't already on BC you should be. Talk to your mother. She probably has some good advice for you. Things get REALLY complicated when sex is involved (relationship wise); no matter whether you are 17, 27, or 37. We must all agree on that!

Premature sex is usually very devastating. Think about it. You may say you love this guy now, at this age. In a few more years you may change your mind and think about love in a whole new perception. You already had sex with him. You cant become a virgin anymore and let's say you're matured enough to get married with a wonderful husband who is worth throwing yourself at. So here's what im saying...your husband is the one you should have sex with and not your pre-marital boyfriends. Believe me or not, you'll end up with some regrets on the bed while making love with your husband because somehow you'll think about this guy and will never feel 100% connected to your husband. Whichever way, you know best on how much you love this guy and if you think you really love him, wait till you get older to define if this is really love. Hope this helps.

Thats nice that you love him honey, but Id hate to see you (and Im sure your parents would too) throw away all your dreams and get pregnant at such a young age. It can MOST definitely happen, trust me, with or without condoms. Sex is such a complicated thing, and worrying about getting pregnant when your 17! Thats a big thing to have to worry about. Plus pumping up hormones in your body isnt such a great thing either (birth control). And you probably feel in LOVE, but I dont know if you really know what that is at your age. I would say wait until you are a little more mature and older. :)

Who really defines "too young"? Society? Well consider this. People are telling you to wait until you're married right? That's not always a good case. Take other countries for example, they sometimes have prearranged marriages, at birth. Is it ok for them to have sex then? No. Only have sex if it's what YOU want. Remember, it takes 2 to have sex. Don't be pressured into it, or feel like you are obligated to have sex with him. As always, if you're going to have sex, always be safe about it. Even with condoms, you have a chance to get pregnant. If you ARE going to go through with it, take birth control pills as well as using condoms to maximize protection against pregnancy. Good Luck!

Well I would say be smart about it, and do what you think is right. No matter what anyone says don't do it because 3 out of 4 people said yea do it or vice versa.. I had a friend who lost her virginity at 12 and I did loose mine when I was just shy of my 18th birthday. I chose it because I did care for him, but also because I felt it was the right time. Its true you can become pregnant or get a STD, I have friends who have both.
Just think carefully about it and in the end Im sure you will decide if its time and if your willing to handle the consiquences.

You are under the legal age.
More to the point? Your boyfriend can have a rape charge brought against him, even if the sex was consensual. The law says you are not able to legally give consent, until you are of legal age. In most places that's 18.
YOUR PARENTS are the ones most likely to file rape charges against your boyfriend. But actually? Anyone can do it. Not only could you screw up your own life - with an unwanted pregnancy - but you could screw up your boyfriend's life as well.
He would be legally considered a sex offender for the rest of his life - just because he had sex with you.
Even though you consented.

Baby we'er all too young to have sex. A better question would be "Am I ready to become someone's mother?" because that is what you are really asking every time you do have sex. Are you ready for that? Let your conscious and the rising cost of pampers be your guide

I don't believe anyone can say the right age to have sex. If you are asking though you might not be ready,you need to feel comfortable doing it and be able to talk to your partner about it before hand and make sure you are both ready. If you do it make sure you are safe and have fun!

Wait until you are married. At 17, you still have time to be a youth. And if he really loves you then he will wait until you are married.
