Answer 1

If you're asking--you're too young.

Answer 2

First question should be - how old are you? I personally dont think girls should have sex before they're 18, and/or out of high school because i've known quite a few girls back in high school that wound up pregnant when they were 15 or 16, and never saw them return to high school after having the baby. If someone gets their h.s. diploma early (meaning, they graduate early or whatever) that's fine.


IF you're still in high school, and plan on having sex with your boyfriend, at least go to planned parenthood and get some birth control - and still have your boyfriend use protection, even if you're on birth control - just for the added safety! But then if you're under 15/16, then yes, you are definitely too young.

Answer 3

It's not a matter of age it's one of maturity. Why do you want to have sex? Wait for someone you deeply care for when you are older. Guys respect you more when you don't give it up. How would you feel if you slept with a boy and he told the whole school or didn't like you anymore after you did this? What if you got an STD or got pregnant? I think you're too young. Anyways sex is overrated and it comes with alot of respondsibility. I think you should wait. I was in college before I had sex for the first time and I still regreted it. You can never get back your virginity, you should be proud. But if you do go on and have sex, please protect yourself, you don't want to get pregnant or something. Good-luck

Answer 4

Usually on these types of questions, it's hard to put a specific age restriction on here.

I know people who have had sex when they were 16/17 and felt completely secure and took plenty of precautions. Then again, there are others who have sex at 21, 22, even when they're married, and things don't go as smoothly. Either the girl gets pregnant without meaning to, or one of them contracts an STD.

I would say BARE MINIMUM, wait until you're about 16 or 17, but I don't advise it myself, and I still advise you to PLEASE be careful. Be sure you're ready, be sure your partner's ready, and be sure you've thought this through. Just one STD or baby can turn your life around completely. Most of all, make sure that you and your partner trust each other and are ready to accept any consequences that may come up. Unfortunately, in this day and age, premarital sex is almost expected by most kids in society, and it makes it that much harder to clearly see what you're getting into.

Make sure you know what you're getting into, and BE CAREFUL!!

Answer 5

The main question is, how old are you in the first place. You may not know it now but having sex is a BIG commitment. It's not how they make it look on TV, magazines and videos. When you have sex you are giving up you're body and self respect to this guy. You should want it to be special and the best thing to do is wait until you're out of high school. That's what I'm doing

Answer 6

Well you don't state how old you are. But realistically most people fall in love and mate (have sex) by the time they are around 18 or 19. There's no army or law in the world that'll stop it from happening because it's purely natural.

If you do have sex with someone, be aware that the emotional bonds will become so strong for you - so make darned sure that the person you have sex with is going to stick around for the next 40 years or so, ok!! That's including in case any kids come along! :)

Answer 7

Sweetheart, you have plenty time in your life to have sex for one. Second of all, sex depends on maturity. If your answer to this question is yes than go for it: If i get pregnant am i prepared to take care of this child outside of my parents house without my parents help financially? I seriously doubt it from the sound of it. Truth is you should wait til you are married; but most kids do not think that is the "cool" thing to do. But at the same time, you should realize that sex is not recreation, it is something that God designed for husband and a wife!! But at least make sure that whoever it is that you decide to sleep with is worth giving yourself to b/c that is exactly what you would be doing and once you give it away. you can not get it back. so please just think about what your parents say, they are your parents for a reason!! God bless!!

Answer 8

Well, since you really didn't put your age we can't tell you not to or to go for it. There isn't really an age and nobody can necessarily tell you when you should. But, you have to be mentally and physically ready for such a big jump in life. Be sure it is with someone you really love and care about and they feel the exact same way. Guys will use you if you're not careful and eventually its going to suck. If you're young I would advise waiting because you'll never know for sure if you're ready until you're older. I thought I was ready at 17 but I wish I had never done it then. And please remember the consequences if something goes wrong. Use protection if you decide to.

Answer 9

U should be atleast eighteen. Then u can make ur own decisions about that. No parents involved. Besides, before that, i dont think anyone's emotionally ready anyway. There are a lot of people who aren't ready for it even in adulthood. So, it's a good thing to prepare for it, before u do something so physical. U can control ur urges in other ways, but if u must...atleast try and wait until ur an adult.

Answer 10

You will know your old enough to have sex when you can SUPPORT yourself and SOMEONE else with no financial help from your parents. Everyone wants to act grown up but no one wants to be grown up. Grow up little girl. Get a job. Find out how hard it is to make ends meet for yourself and when you want to cry because life has gotten to hard, imagine having to look at your baby you can't feed or cloth. Thats the scenerio you risk by wanting to have sex now. Your a kid living with your mom and dad. Be a kid and keep your pants on easypants.

Answer 11

Obviously You can HAVE sex whenever, but it won't be any fun until you are at least 18, probably more.

Guys have no idea how to satisfy a woman until they are at least 18. If you're 15 and want to do it with your 15 year old boyfriend, it will be embarassing for both of you.

Believe me, you aren't missing anything by waiting.
