The most suitable age for having intercourse should be directly related to your ability to accept ALL of the potential consequences of being sexually active. If you are prepared to raise, AND SUPPORT a child, or live with a life threatening disease, you're definitely old enough to have sex. Those things can, and do, happen to sexually active people. Sometimes even when they protect themselves.

There is a lifetime of responsibility that MUST come with sexual activity. So a person MUST be a responsible adult first.
That is why marriage was always first. Then two people were involved in a mutual committed relationship. There were fewer dangers in a monogamous relationship and two people to carry the responsibilities of a family.
Be patient. You can have sex for another 50 or 60 years if you start at 21. Do not ruin the joy of youth. Excitement over sex will wear out surprisingly fast.

You really have to be aware of your body and how it works before you begin having sex. You need to know and understand when you have your period, when you ovulate, when you pms. Many things.... You also should be at an age where you can get birth control. If you are uncomfortable talking about and getting it then you really shouldn't be having sex.
You also want to think about it this way. When you have sex there is alway a chance that you can become pregnant. Do you think the person you are having sex with would be ready for it? Do you think you could handle it?

whenever u feel ready(as long as it's not toooooooooo young, like 10 or 11!) but it's really up to your and your bf but still even then if you feel not ready or uncomfortable u should never be forced into it, it's basically a decision u have to make with him but if u think his decision is too much n too young then no. However, the best age I would say is after 20, because u guys are not a teen any more

Well, its all about whenever you are ready.
By ready, its said being prepared emotionally, physically and the act should be done with full consent so that you dont regret later.
If you are bounded by religion, than ofcourse after marriage but if not, than personally speaking around 21+, definitely not before that.
ANyways, its all entirely upto u...but be wise.
Becuase sex is not just taking out frusttration its a beautiful form of expressing your love.

It is less a chronological age (I mean, once a boy produces sperm at 13 or so, he is ready) and more an emotional age.
Sex is more that 2 minutes, 52 seconds of squishing noises that make you feel good below your tummy. There are social and moral ramifications that need to be addressed as well.
Let's put it this way: if you are not prepared for when your lady friend (or, if you are a lady, when you) tells you that she is pregnant, what are you going to do?

Sex not occur before:
1. You are ready to deal with a pregnancy, should it occur
2. You are ready to deal with an STD, should it occur
3. When you know how a woman can become pregnant (all the ways it can occur)
4. When you know what the various STDs are and how they are transmitted and how to help protect against them
5. When you are ready to insist your partner wear a condom (female) or insist that you wear one (male)
6. When you are on a reliable form of birth control and using it properly (female) or ensure that she is (male)
7. When you are ready to deal with any emotional issues that may come from being intimate with another person
Until you've got those things covered, you should not have sex.

It's not about age but emotional maturity. Chances are, someone in their teens is definitely not emotionally mature enough for sexual relationships.

sex comes with alot of responsibilities(like remembering to use protection, the emotional stuff and there are many more) and possible responsibilities(like a baby). i think that if you dont want to wait til marriage then you need to be able to handle the responsibility of a physical relationship.

When you are old enough to bear the responsibilities that come with it. Sex can lead to children and disease, so if you are ready to raise a family and have a medical insurance, it's probably okay.
