16 is a good age, some start as early as 13 but they are not well adjusted. By time you leave high school is a good target. Not that peer pressure should be your gauge, but talk to your friends. Every community is different as are individuals. Try to stick with your crowd & what they are doing - meaning not much earlier or later than them. But of course you will need a guy that you trust and are attracted to. Sex is about intimacy, not just getting the parts together. It's gotta be with someone who has a sense of humor too - cause funny things can happen, especially the 1st time and you've got to be able to laugh about it and move on ... Don't rush it.

I like to think of it this way: ask yourself, "Could I deal with a (hypothetical) pregnancy? Or sexually transmitted disease?" If the answer is no, and I apologise if I sound like a prude, but the best bet is to wait. As others have said, if you're asking, then you're probably not ready. Even if you think you are ready, it's best to to wait a bit anyway. Most girls, if they regret when they lost their virginity, will tell you they wished they didn't lose it so young, or that guy or what have you. Rarely do they say that they wished they had sex at a younger age. Remember, just because you're physically mature enough to have sex doesn't mean emotionally you are. Try not to worry what your friends are doing too, just experience things at your own pace. You have your whole life to be in sexual relationships.

You know you are ready when you can face the fact that there are diseases out there and condums do not protect you from them. You can take birth control, but there is not a pill for a broken heart from a cheating boyfriend or spouse. Since you are not married, there is a HUGE chance you are already being cheated on. It is just in guy's DNA......they just can't help it. Remember sexual relationships should be manogamous. The older you get......Guys will decide to settle for just 1 woman, but that is still not a guarentee they will be unfaithful. There is always that 1 chance or 4 like me that babies come along. Make sure this is a planned thing. You never want to be told you were an accident.....All four of my children were planned. My Mother told me I was an accident and we do not have a relationship anymore.
If I were young again like you, I would make sure....supper sure the guy was disease free, all the guys....Then I would be the one in control and just USE the guys like they do to us. Have Tons of boyfriends and tell them all they are the only one for you. Do this and have fun Until you are ready to settle for the PERFECT one that comes around. I wish I did that. Instead I dated 1 guy from 16 till I married him at 22. I had no idea he cheated on me the entire time we dated!!!!! We stayed married for 8 years. The cheating never stopped. I DIVORCED him when I was 30 and now I am having the time of my life. But I still feel like 1/2 of my life in my younger years were wasted. Remember, meeting men is like a Job Interview....must be clean. Jen

when you are married! read many of the questions here and you will see all the heartbreak that having sex for the sake of sex has caused, how mnany girls and guys for that matter too, have sex with someone and are then hurt when they are dumped afterwards. Wait until you find someone to love you and will be there for you whether there is sex in the relationship or not before a true committment, and the sex will be all the better when you finally do have sex.

As long as you have to ask or think about it you're too young. You only get one first time don't you want it to be special? make sure it is with someone that you love and you KNOW loves you and not someone who just says it. Be careful and remember to practice safe sex.

When you are physically, emotionally and financially ready to deal with whatever consequences sex may present to you - pregnancy, diseases, rejection etc.

When you feel the connection with him and you know that you do want to do it because you do - and not because of something else.
