When you're old enough to vote. Because that's when you're old enough to make life altering decisions. That means 18 at least.
I am 23 years old. I was 16 when I lost my virginity. I have regretted it every single day since that day. I thought I was ready. I thought I was in love. I wasn't. I was young, I was dumb, and I made a huge mistake.
So 'when you're ready' and 'when you're in love' aren't the right times at all. When you're old enough to make those decisions on your own... the best time, I would say... is when you're on your honeymoon.
Not because of any religious beliefs I have or don't have. But once you're married, you've made a much bigger decision. One that takes a lot of time and a lot of planning. If you're both committed enough to go through all of that? Then that's a good bet that you're both ready for the next step.
Don't make a silly mistake like I did. I always dreamed of waiting until I was in love. Of saving myself until I found someone special. 16 wasn't old enough at all for me to make a correct decision about who was special or if I was really in love or not.
Please please please.... sex is not all it's made out to be. Not until you're with the right person and not until you're old enough to be -sure- that that's the right person.
When it's right? You won't be nervous. You won't feel stupid, you won't feel ashamed. It'll just feel right. It'll be comfortable and emotional and wonderful. If you don't feel all of those things... you should stop before it ever gets to sex because your body and your heart are telling you NO.
18 at the very least. After marriage is the best and most special of all.

It's all relative!
It all depends on how mature you are and what you know about being in love or caring for someone and being in a relationship. it's best to lose your virginity when you know you care for someone or love someone. don't do it if it's peer pressure or is forced or to make someone happy. those are the wrong reasons and you will regret the consequences, most young people do. So i'd say wait till you find someone nice who you could have a caring and loving relationship with. Don't do it just for the sake of getting off. that would not be right and fair to u or the other person.

I'd say that waiting until you get married is the best age. Once you start, it is hard to stop. You almost crave it. It is better to have one person you can experience this special 1 thing that once you give it you won't get it back again. One shot type thing. Plus if you havea child you won't have to stress over whatmany people stress over not being married.
Once you give yourself to someone that you are notmarried to, they have no obligation with you. they can leave when they feel. like it no matter how much you think they will be there. You will never know. People have game, plebty. Don't fall for it.
I know it can be hard at times, but paitience will get you far in every aspect of your life. There is a time for everything. Wait and be patient for your time. Blessings come with patience.
I hope you take this advice. I wish I had when I was in your position. It may sound like, aw man, whatever. But believe you me, I know. Listen to wisdom. God bless you and I hope everything works out for you.

Between age 18-20, because any younger and it changes you, your personality matures even more than you already are
you can no longer be young and immature. you've physically changed so now you have to mentally change and enter a part lifes world of relationships (it takes two to enter in) so be ready first. think before you give away your virginity when you're ready to give up a part of yourself

When u are responsible enough to deal with any consequences that may come out of it. Smart enough to use protection. Old enough to make the right decision. But mostly to love that person so it not to be just sex. This is an important step in anyones life. Remember this is ur life.. Make the right choice.

well I was 19 and felt everyone around me already had sex and felt like a loser. So I grabbed the 1st girl I saw and had sex with her. Cant say I enjoyed it cause I didnt even like her but at least I can scratch off virgin of my resume. But yeah a typical guy shouldnt be a virgin by 20.
