I think it depends on the person. Some people can handle losing their virginity at an early age and be responsible enough to use protection. I was taught to wait for marriage....I held out until I was 16 but I am now married to him....we've been married for 11 years now. I am hoping my children at least wait for love, so I guess it would depend on when they find their love and not just lust. Not everyone is lucky enough to find their future spouse at 16!

I think it has to do more with a woman's level of readiness, emotionally, physically and morally, then it has to do with age. Losing your virginity is a once in a life step that can be one of your most memorable occasion or it can be one you'd want to forget. Also, if you value yourself and respect yourself highly you will also expect others to do the same. And if someone pressures you to give them your virginity before you are ready, this person does not truly value you. So your friend might think 21, but it all depends on who you are giving it to and how prepared you are to face the consequences that go along with it. Because becoming a woman is not all about fun and games, once you lose your virginity, outside of marriage, you will have to live with the consequences whether or not you like them. For example, you might be convinced that the person you are giving it to might love you more and commit to you after the fact, but it usually has the opposite effect. Once a guy gets what he wants, he can quickly lose interest in you. And you wouldn't want to give your virginity to someone who you don't love and want to commit to. That's why I believe that it is best to wait until you are married. You will never have any regrets and no ghosts from the past will haunt you. you will always be proud that you waited and that you didn't give yourself to just anyone.

It's completely up to the person. Just make sure you are doing it for you and not because you are being pressured. In hindsight, I think, if you wait for 'love' it will be better on you emotionally when you get older. You need to be mature enough to handle everything that goes along with losing your virginity. The emotions, the hormones, birth control, pregnancy. It's a lot of responsibility if you think about it. And the most important thing is for you to develop yourself first.

There is no "correct" age!
Some people think abstinance before mairrage is the right way, and others just wanna have sex
It all depends on yourself, and your belief.
My opinion is this... if you can walk into a store and buy a pack of condoms on your own and with a straight face without thinking its funny...then you are on your way.
Just remember... You have to be mature enough to handle the responsibility, and the possible repercussions, if things do go wrong.

I think there is no right or wrong answer. It when the time is right. Just a little tip my mom told me at 16 when i told her that the relationship i was in was geting serious -------- who ever you sleep with make sure you want your child to call him or her daddy or mommy bc nothing is 100% effective except absence

I would say it's not an age but the right guy/girl. When you love a person and you're committed to them for the rest of your life than it's the right time.

After marriage. Ive never known a women who after getting married didnt horribly regret having sex before that moment.
I waited until I got married at 20. It was way worth it.
Even my husband wishes he had waited.
Sex is great, but its totally over rated. Once you have it it makes it impossibly hard to go without it. Waiting until you're married is a much better idea.

Wait for LOVE......and try not to confuse love with lust. I know from experience that, as a teen, it can be hard to tell the difference. The best way to tell the difference is wait....A LONG TIME......his love for you should make it no problem to wait.
I wish that I lost my virginity to my husband, or at least not to some smooth talking charmer!

i think defiantly over 16 but not with the first boy that comes a long as there is no rush if he loves you he will wait.and it would be great if you could wait till 21 .

After 17 and only with a person you care deeply about.
