There is no 'proper age' to start.But when it happens,it's important if you love the person you are having sexual life with.It's important to be conscious of "safe sex" and different illnesses which you can get by having sex.You have to know how to use condoms and pills.But the most important is to love the person who are you with.That's why a lot of people think that before the age of 16 you shouldn't have sex.I disagree with it just because at the age of 14-15 some teenagers feel that they really love the person they are with.Even I know a couple who are together since both of them were 14 and now both of them are 21 years old and plan to get married.That doesn't happen to a lot of teenagers and it shouldn't.Even if you have sex with 'not the right guy',that doesn't mean that you have felt him as 'a wrong guy'.Different is with parents.When they hear the words "sex" and "your son/daughter" in one sentence,they stop thinking soberly.Their children grow up - that's a fact.I disagree with sex before 14 but once a person has understood that he/she wants to do it,it's not wrong - you just have to be careful.

When you and your partner are mature enough and ready to deal with any consequences that might follow. Meaning you have to know what sex is all about like the possibility of getting pregnant and the risks of S.T.D.s and S.T.I.s and A.I.D.S. and H.I.V. Not only do you have to be mature but ready, you both have to want the same thing. Don't rush for one another. If you don't want to wait till marriage then don't if you do then wait. It is up to the individual. To me marriage is just a piece of paper, I don't really care for it. I also don't want kids. I'm only 15 so maybe I will change my mind in 10 years. I will have sex when I am mentally and physically prepared, whether I'm married or not. But I'm not ready now.

Anyone who says when you get married is dilusional. In today's world it's perfectly okay to experiment some before you get married. I think everyone should. You may get married and be very disappointed if you don't. Honestly, I think an appropriate age is between 16 and 18. It depends on the person, of course. If they're not mature enough to know the possible outcomes and how to avoid them, they're not old enough to be sexual.

I was 23 when I lost my virginity to the man who is now my husband. (He was 21 at the time) We got married when I was 29 and he was 27. We are now 48 and 46 respectively and have a beautiful 16 year old daughter. Only you can decide when you are ready. If you are not sure whether the person you are planning to lose your virginity to is "the one" you want to spend your life with, then you need to take those extra precautions to prevent pregnancy and/or diseases.

When you're mature and responsible enough and finically secure to raise baby, also being emotionally stable. I think yo uneed to realize the fact that when you become sexually active you can contract std's and aids/HIV, for women you can become pregnant. don't think it won't happen to you. And if you do have sex talk to your parents, and be adult about it, because i think they'll be more understanding about it if you're a teen and you come and talk to them about it and if you're girl talk about getting a gyno exam and getting on some form of birth control but that alone doesn't help you need to have a condom for you or him. So the proper age is when someone can support a baby finically be there for them emotionally and definetly have their life on track.

It's not really about age but idf i was to state an age I would say about 17 or 18. What matters more is that you think you are ready. Ready mentally. When you are with someone you love very much and who loves you in return.

It should be whenever YOU think you are ready, when you think if any mistake happens (getting pregnant) you and your partner will be ready to bring that blessing to this world. When you know ALL the risks of being sexually active, and when making this type of choice, keep in mind the love you have for yourself, and ask yourself if you do choose to be sexually active will you regret it later, or is it against your faith and stuff like that, whatever your choice is I wish you well!!!

Sex is a big step in people lives, it could mean babies it could or pleasure what ever it is to you make sure it's right. However i don't think waiting till marriage is a good choice ,because you might be a person who doesn't want that type of relationship.I'm not saying sleep around with every boyfriend that comes around for you ,but choice wisely. You will know when it's the right time.You should start maybe around the time you are out of your guardians house that way you are being respectful.But at the end of the day it is your decision ,but honestly who wants to be a 40 year old virgin.lol

When you are responsible enough to know what you are doing and to accept the responsibilities that go along with having sex (i.e., safe sex (condom use), birth control, etc.) Also you have to be mentally ready, just doing it isn't enough, so please don't just jump into it, and if at all possible, do the research and know what you are getting into. It is your BODY don't abuse or give it away foolishly, and don't be coerced into doing anything you don't want to do, and this way you will not have regrets in the future. God Bless.
