is 16 too young for sex?

Question

i love my bf and i feel ready but i was just wondering...do u think 16 is too young to start having sex?

Answer 1

Relationships are a lot easier if there is no sex involved. Once you are in a sexual relationship then you don't think with your head and you just think about what feels good. You make stupid decisions once sex is involved and I would wait if I was you. Some day you will be married and have a loving husband and think about being in bed with him. Do you really want to be thinking about how an ex-boyfriend had sex with you and how he made you feel years before? Let your answer to that question be your answer.

Answer 2

Well looking back when i was 16 i do think i should have waited but i cannot preach to you because i started having sex at age 16.

My boyfriend (now husband) had been together for a year when we decided to have sex. He was my first and only. I made sure i got on birth control so if you decide too have sex do the same unless your wanting to be a teen mommy which i am sure you do not want to be.
My husband and i have been together for 12 years but married for only one year. We have a 5 year old son which was a planned baby. We had him at age 21 and we are now both 27 years old and expecting baby #2 in december.

Only you knows if you are ready but do not let him pressure you into it. Be sure to get on birth control and use condoms.

Answer 3

It doesn't matter what I think. It matters what you think.

If you have some doubts about it, you're probably not really ready.

I'm really glad you've waited this long - I wish I'd been like you when I was in my teens.

Most girls start having sex around 16 and 17, so you're right in the "normal" pattern. (However, I went to a wedding almost 5 months ago for my friend who was nearly 21, and she was a virgin until her wedding night.)

I'm going to ask all the questions you need to be asking yourself before you make this kind of decision. (These are also the questions I'll be asking myself once I get there with my next boyfriend, the ones I wish I'd asked myself when I first started having sex.)

You say you love him. Does he love you?
Does he care about you?
Is he a guy you could see being a father if some horrible mistake happened and you got pregnant? Is he the type of guy to stand up and take that responsibility, to own up to his part in it?
Does he care about your feelings, your well-being, the things going on in your life?
Are you able to carry on a conversation together for hours?
Is there a relationship in your relationship? Do you think your relationship can take the extra complication that sex brings into it?
What would your parents say? Would they be hurt? Is your mom the type of person you can talk to about this? Would she get you to a doctor and have you put on the Pill?
Have you thought about condoms?
Do you know his sexual history? Does he have a sexual history?
Do you see yourself having a future with this boy?
Are you sure you love him? (I'm not asking if you're in love with him - that's something that takes time to grow - but if you just love him, care about him, his well-being, and his feelings.)

Are you ready for the responsibility?

Good luck.

Answer 4

This is definitly the 64 million question: Todays category:

Girls vs Boys

First Question:
Does my bf love me as I do?

-Males at that age (asuming he's that young) think only about sex or hanging with the guys. They don't have responsability. Some do. But we girls are more mature than guys that age and we tend to confuse he's responses with love. Which means We WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR THE LOVE Of OUR LIVES for high school? Yeah High School: I know we fall in love with him. Guess what when you get older there will be tons of hot guys and more mature guys who study and works and can support a family. But guess what he may love you but at this age you don't have the maturity to carry the consequences of getting pregnant.

My advice: Because you said you were ready USE PROTECTION!!!

Now think about it!!

Answer 5

Who wants to have sex at 16? get a hoby and enjoy the highschool years since when does sex have to be included. Give peace a chance play some guitar you can go on dates yeah sure but sex........no........at 18 still a bit young maybe at 19 or 20 still a young age....but more suitable at that time

Trust me I hate to break it to you but unless your in a "Real" Relationship most highschool love stories last a couple of months and then end to me a complete waste of valuable time hopefully your situation is different and its real true love. There are plenty of other ways to have fun without sex.

Why am I saying No to it so much you wonder? Ever here of AIDS? "It cant happen to me" Yeah thats the attitude of a lot of people anything can happen thats why we need to try to keep our bodies in good health.

Answer 6

Its not to young, but there are consequences. Make sure you are on birth control,, just in case. Another very important thing you have to think about is are you planning on marring this man? Let me tell you, at your age all boys are thinking about is sex and not a long term commandment. You might think your in love but step back and look at the real picture. I thought I was in love with my first and a week after we had sex he left me for another girl.. guys will say anything than brag to there friends... If he loves you, he will waite for you.. By the way I was 16 than, I am 26.. Trust me on this.. good luck

Answer 7

well, sometimes someone tells you they love you and dont even know what love is from the beginning.. i cant say thats its too young, because i know plenty of girls that have sex at 16, even earlier, theres just consequences to think about..std's, pregnancy, and sometimes a bad reputation.
id say that if you feel its right, that nobody can tell you what you feel but you, so just go with the flow, and talk to your boyfriend, make sure he is willing to stay with you if anything does happen .. so he doesnt leave you if you whind up pregnant..

Answer 8

YES...and you must ask other questions like...Is 16 too young for a baby or How would I feel at 16 if having AIDS!

Answer 9

thats when i first had sex - and i really think it depends on you - are you responsible enough to use protection EVERY time? Are you mature enough to know that most likely you two won't be together forever? And...if you do become pregnant or get an STD (because you can get these even with protection) what are you going to do about it? You need to think long and hard .... if you're going to play adult games, be ready to become an adult.

Answer 10

16 is not to young. It is to old to just be starting.
