All kids/teens mature differently. What one may be emotionally ready for at 15, another might not be ready for until 19.
I'm one of the old fashioned ones (now I am, never used to be) that believes sex is for marriage - not for teenagers. Been there, done that... had my first son at 15. Not only was I not prepared to be a mom, I was not prepared for the emotional/psychological impact of being sexually active so young. If I could only go back and do it all differently!!! At that young of an age, you barely know who YOU are yet... how can you know what you're looking for in a partner for the rest of your life?
Ok, you asked for an age. Like I said, everyone is different, but if I had to put a number out there... I'd say around 15 or so to start 'dating', no younger than 16 for a serious relationship. How physical that gets is up to you. I don't see anything wrong with kissing at 16 years old, but anything beyond that is asking for trouble, in my opinion.

I think kids start experimenting with kissing around the age of 12. Which is okay as long as it is just kissing. If I had a child I wouldn't want them to get more intimate with another person their own age until they were in their late teens and even then I wouldn't want them to have sex yet.
As for intercourse, I think that's something that happens between two mature people and I don't see a teenager being able to be mature enough for a decision like that with all that comes with it like the consequences of having sex. Because when you have sex you have to deal with sexually transmitted diseases, possible pregnancies, hurt feelings, and so on. And not many teenagers are responsible enough to use protection because there are a lot of adults who aren't mature enough.
I know for me that I kissed my first boy when I was fourteen. I dated at age sixteen but wouldn't let a boy do anything but kiss me, I was scared. It wasn't until I was almost nineteen and in the military that I first had intercourse. I don't regret waiting. Now I am thirty eight years old and single. When I get in to a relationship where sex is involved I use condoms until the guy can get a check up for AIDs and venerial diseases. I am very cautious because it is so easy for anyone to cath something and I am not risking my health for a moment of pleasure. And I have never had a guy say they wouldn't go get checked out, they always do. Well it's been three guys but they all did.

Depending on the person and maturity, kissing and feeling up or down should not begin before you are ready to go all the way. It seems that once you start touching areas that should be off limits, it is likely that you will lose control and literally screw up. so I would say if you are 17 or 18 then it would be okay. But really, in reality, you should not do any of this stuff until you are in a committed relationship and or married. Otherwise you are playing with fire.

I am not kind. I wish I was - does that count? Anyhoo. There are two people in the equation, not one. There are also two areas you have to think about: Your body and your social surroundings. Sex is a profoundly powerful thing. Most kids don't have a clue about the power it can have and the destruction of lives it can cause. Treating sex like a joke or like anyhing else you do is hugely sociopathic. Its dangerous, wonderful, treacherous and fulfilling. And then of course there's the body. contaception?, can you say no and make sure you don't ever have to? condoms? pregnancy. STD. Do you know how to avoid them (no, not the condoms :) )Have you educated yourself with the facts or just "information" you've gotten from your friends.
Until you are able to educate yourself responsibily, you are not ready. Until you FEEL (not think, "feel") like kissing someone youre not ready. Until you're able to use reason and logic to see that you are ready and the other is the "right one", then you are not ready. In a nutshell: mind, body and soul all have to be ready.
A kiss - after puberty - say 14 to 16
Make out -have to be able to control your situation- 16 to twentysomething - you're playing with fire...
Direct genital contact - adult 18+

You are ready to be sexually active when you can handle the repercussions responsibly. For kissing i'd say 16 going all the way marriage or until you are a responsible and stable adult. In between? Depends on the context, if you mean oral sex again the first answer i gave when you are ready to assume responsiblity for the repercussions that may happen such as stds. If you are getting them off with your hand well i'd say 18 and above and if you are serious no one night thing or one week.

Choosing to be sexually active is a very important choice that only the individual can make. The person needs to have full understanding of the concequences that can go with being sexually active such as STDs, pregnancy and emotional trauma. I don't believe there is an appropriate age for being sexually involved, it is completly personal and changes from person to person.
