I am 17 years old and I had sex at the beginning of this year when I was still 16. Personally, I don't think I was too young. I am mature and I felt so comfortable with the person I did it with. We planned it for ages and we took all the pre-cautionary measures. But some might say I was impatient, what do you think? (plz no bible talk, I'm not christian)

The reason why she is asking this is because the social norm dictates that a person who has sex before they are legally an adult is "wrong" Like others have said, only you know when you are ready to have sex and it sounds like you are. There is nothing wrong with a little social reinforcement (we get it everyday when someone says you look nice as you parade around in your new clothes). I am always a big proponent against the term "losing your virginity" it is this social stigma that causes people who deviate from the social norm to inquire as to if what they did was right or wrong. You planned it out and took the proper precautionary measures. Well done!

I personally felt the same way you did! I was 16 when I lost my virginity too and I thought then that I was mature/ready etc. For me, at that time, I was but now that I am older and married etc. I realize that I wasn't.
Would I change what I did? No. I learned a lot from the experience. I think that from this point forward, you know what to expect when it comes to sex..so be aware of waht you are doing and what it may make you feel like afterwards. You can't change what you've done and I don't judge you a bit for it. Just always use your better judgement and do waht you think is right for you! :)

My personal opinion is that people should wait for sex until they find that person who they will stay with for life.
But I know many teens do not feel the need to wait and I blame that on society and the media in general....
I'm not going to preach about my views though to you.
But I do have to wonder if you are questioning this in your own mind, since you have thought to ask the question you must be wondering... then yes you probably did have sex to early. Just because you a mature 16/17 year old doesn't necessarily mean you are emotionally ready for this big step...

there is no age for sex. u can be 20 or 28 and don't have to have sex. in fact u can have sex when u just get Ur period. BUT in real life we focus in other thing like school education and love.... its not about having sex and age and all this crab. I don't know but me personally IAm 21 and I didn't have sex yet. even know I m older then u and I been in relationship more then u and I know life more then u and because I know sex and facts of it I wanted to Waite because there is nothing guaranteed. remember the girl is always the loser. not the guy. BUT I choose not until married. that's was my decision. but if u choose to do it now. go for it but careful. u don't wan to be a single mother or a HIV +. life it nice and beautiful take Ur time. u still have a whole to have sex . so enjoy Ur age and have fun.

If you felt it was right for you, then it wasn't too early. Sex isn't a thing other people can answer for you. Age ain't nothin' but a number. Yes, you were young, but it was a personal decision that you made and felt that you was the correct thing for you to do at the time.

Its different for everyone. For Christ sake i was 14. I also felt that I was ready and took all necessary precautions. I also felt that in the future i was ready and able and had all the support I needed to own up to the responsibility of my consequences if i felt i had made the wrong choice. I feel that if you are willing to own up to bringing this child up if you should get pregnant you are ready to have sex. But on the other hand if you are not able to take actions for what you have done then you rushed in to sex.

If it was allright for you, it was not too early. You must know for yourself, if you did it because you love the boy - then it was not too early - , or if you did it actually because you were really impatient to have sex for the first time (perhaps because other girls of your age talk about their experiences) - then it was too early. As you're in doubt, it may be the second, but I hope I have given you some hints to take you your doubts.

Only you can make that decision for yourself. If you felt ready then you probably were, but then you may not even be asking this question. 16 is young but you obviously felt ready. I have know lots of people who have lot their virginity at 16 or before.
