Answer 1

For my child I would say 30 but for anyone else I would say 18

Answer 2

First to me you sound like you are a little young and so the right age i would say is when you find the person you love and you are married. Now you have to understand that sex is not just physical but it is emotional and it is painful. You should at least be at the age where you are not under your parent's roof and you are able to accept the consequences that come along with allowing someone to enter into your space. Sex is not for the faint of heart and is for people who are sure that they know and understand what they are getting into. First sweetie you have to be aware of the STD's and you have to know the sexual orientation of the person that you are trying to be intimate with. But just so you know virginity is a good thing and you should not be pressured in to doing it with anyone. Virginity really means something and it means something very good and when you have that you actually have an advantage over any other girl. Because you can pick the guy that you love and you know that he will honor and respect you for your choices of not to have sex understand. There is really no definite way to say have sex because i personally do not condone sex before marriage, however if you are a virgin, you can see things clearer and you have an advantage over the guy because all they are about is sex i dont care if they tell you they love you or not because one minuet they love you and the next minuet they get your treasure and then they find reasons to leave you. So dear be careful because even though you want the moment to be perfect, think of the after effect. everything changes between you and that person, and if you are truly not ready DO NOT DO IT because you will carry resentment. Be careful and think about it. ok
God Bless

Answer 3

You should make sure that u are ready to have sex. There are a lot of consequences that can come with it....STD's, pregnancy.Condoms are not 100%effective and the only thing that is, is abstinence. I think u should be in a committed relationship with someone u trust. If u have sex at an early age, u could develop a reputation of being easy. If this is a question you have to ask, i think, u are far from ready to be having sex.

Answer 4

Not before you are an adult and thus able to give *informed* consent.

By adult, I mean legally, emotionally, and intellectually. For some, that may be as early as 18; for others, it may be 30.

By *informed* consent, I mean that you completely, totally, absolutely understand the emotional and physical ramifications of having sex. It means that you are ready to be held accountable for any results from the sexual activity, such as pregnancy, STDs, and the emotional "messiness" that relationships bring with them.

In addition, it means that your partner has been up front with you about himself so that you are consenting to sex with the real him, and not a fake him.

Answer 5

Really and truly? You should be old enough to be married. And i'm not saying that to be a cranky old woman, either. ;o) The statistics for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are horrifying. At least one out of every five people over the age of 12 ... TWELVE!! ... has a sexually transitted disease. It is believed that the actual statistics may be closer to one out of every three have an STD.

The worst of these diseases is, of course, AIDS, which is just about a certain death sentence. Another is the Human Papilloma Virus (you'll hear it called "HPV") which can cause anything from painful warts in your personal area which must be burned off, to other things including cancer. My sister attends University with a young woman who had cancer as a result of HPV when she was only 16 years old. She is now 21 years old and she is scheduled to have surgery to have all of her female organs removed due to the cancer coming back. She'll never have children.

Many, many young people are choosing to wait for marriage, and that includes boys as well as girls. My daughter is 23 and her fiancee is 22 and they are both really attractive, fun people, but they are also both virgins. And, even though they are engaged, they are still waiting until they are married.

The first time is something you can only give once. Don't waste it by 'trying' to have sex. Save it for the most important man in your life. You'll be proud you did; he'll be proud you did; and you will keep yourself healthy.

Answer 6

when you get married or when your turn 65 lol that what my parent said... YOUR know when the time is right i wait for almost 2 years b/c i was inlove with my bestfriend and he had a girlfriend but 2 years late :) and where married to each other now i was 21 he was 25

Answer 7

When the person is ready to be a parent. There is always the risk of pregnancy. So if a person is ready to take that risk then go ahead. I waited until I was 17 and I got pregnant with my first son at 18.

Answer 8

If you have to come on line to ask this question, then you are obviously not mature enough to engage in a sexual relationship. Stay in school and concentrate on that why don't ya. God, I can't believe you kids now a days. And you wonder why you or your girlfriend ends up getting pregnant. Duhhhhh!!!

Answer 9

Today's average is 12. I would recommend that you wait until at least 16. Here are my reasons. There is no birth control that is gurenteed to prevent pregnancy other than abstinance and steralization. If you are 16 then your body is mostly developed. You can also get a job at 16, so you'd have a way to support the baby if you got pregnant.
Also teen pregnancys are dangerous. Many teens have babies that are underweight, die, or are born extremly early. Sometimes even the teen will die before or durring birth. A good movie on this one is "15 and pregnant".
Also if you are ready and wait to have sex it will hurt less the first time. Keep your verginity if you can until marriage. Guys will use you to have sex. This hurts a lot. If you wait then you will spare yourself a lot of pain and greif. Hope this helps.

Answer 10

Wait until you're out of highschool, are in a dependable relationship, have MONEY to raise a child, and don't have to ask random people online.

When you can support a child (physically, emotionally, and otherwise...) and when you feel comfortable. For me, that time is when I get married.
