How young do you think is too young to have sex?

Question

This isn't necessarily a personal question, but more of a question of personal preference. I just kinda want to know what people think..

Answer 1

I first had sex when I was 13, and have been active for several years now. BUT, after 6 (six) children, all girls I would suggest that you wait until you at least finish college, and get married. For my daughters sake, I will shoot the first little pr&^% that comes by trying to score with one of my daughters.

Before anyone says anything about the goverment raising my children. Nope, They live with me, I raise them, and provide for them. I make about $120,000/yr, but have been on welfare after my fourth one for about 3 months. Sense then I've had to work my keester off to provide for them.

Don't rush it, take your time. You have the rest of your life to have sex. Yes its good, and its worth the wait. You need to set your path for life first, get married then have sex. If he's worth anything he'll wait too. If he's unwilling to wait, then he's not worth having.

Answer 2

Looking at it from a perspective of both sides, teenager and adult, I can say that the mental aspect of sex is something that a person isn't ready for until later in life. I did have sex, and had it responsibly, as a teenager. However, the emotions and reasoning didn't come until I became an adult. I think when you're young often times you have sex with a boyfriend or girlfriend out of puppy love instead of allowing yourself to grow in the relationship. I wish that I had waited, honestly, until I was at least 20, or better yet finished with my education and successful in my career. The reason is because regardless of how safe you are you don't want to face pregnancy ordeals or get STDs in the midst of having all sorts of other things going on in life (growing up, work, education, leaving the nest, etc). You need time to live! Also even if you're completely in love with someone it's best to wait simply because you don't really know what's in that person's head and heart. Even if you're devoted he/she could be confusing lust with love, in which you end up with a broken heart.

Answer 4

If you have to ask that question then you are too young to have sex. Personally I think you are too young to have sex if you are not married. Call me old fashioned if you want to but, there are too many people getting hurt out there who wished that they would have saved themselves until they were married. Wished they would have given their spouses something really special on their wedding night that they hadn't given to every other man or woman. I think that sex is a very sacred thing between a man and a woman who truly love eachother and I had always thought I had loved a man ( two of them) before I was married until I actually did fall in love and find out what it was all about. It's beautiful and it's for making children and making eachother happy. It's not to be used like pornography, or like two lustful teens in the back seat of a car, or two spouses married to other people getting it on in some hotel. It's looking into his or her eyes and being in so much love that you respect the other person enough to wait. Yes, It's difficult.. nothing worth waiting for is easy....but, if he or she is worth it..... then they will wait and the wait will be worth it! That's why there are so many divorces nowadays. People want what they want and they want it now.

Answer 5

personally i think that premarital sex is wrong and should be avoided as best as possible. not to get on the soap box, ill just answer the question. i think anything under 18 is too young. i especially think that if you are still in high school, you are too young. why? b/c you are not mature enough to understand the act in its entirety, you are not independent enough to support the offspring in case that occurs, you are not emotionally sound enough to handle intercourse. high schoolers and even into your college years, you are still interested in peer approval and thus persuaded by peer actions, theories, ideals etc. sex has been brushed off in the last 40 years as just something people do and it is natural to do it if your passions lend towards the act. that is not the original intent or meaning of intercourse. as an adult who has lived and learned, my one true inner drive is to tell the younger generation that sex was not meant to be what society has perverted it into. it has depth, meaning. the act of giving of yourself wholly to your life partner for the purposes of love expressed and creation.

Answer 6

under 14

Answer 7

I think anyone younger than 16 should absolutely NOT be having sex. I'm pretty iffy about 16 year olds having sex.....
When I hear about pregnant 15 year olds I get nauseous, but when I hear about pregnant 16 year olds I just feel sad.

Answer 9

I don't think there is a specific age for everyone. It depends on the person and if they are mature enough to handle every single thing that comes along with having sex.

Answer 10

I personally think that people should wait until they're either married or in their twenties before having sex, but I pretty much think that any age sixteen and up is somewhat acceptable.
