Is 15 too young to have sex?

Question

ok im 14 but me and my bf wanna do it next summer hes not my age hes older but we think its best we wait next year where im atleast a year older is 15 too young to have sex???

Answer 1

Yes. UR not mature enough to handle sex yet. To me, the girl has a lot more to loose. U can get pregnant, pass on diseases etc. Birth control is only 99.9999% effective. Then there are the emotional consequences of this, and the social ones as well. Girls aren't reguarded as well as boys for having sex. Plus, it sounds like HE wants u to have sex. It should be about both of u. UR not old enough or financially secure enough to raise a child on ur own. Y would u want to do that to u and ur parents? That's another social stigma for u. Then u guys are linked forever. Usually sex brings feelings of closeness, and most teens arent ready to face it, especially when the relationship goes south. There's a lot of things to think about here, and I just think it would be better if u waited until adulthood, enjoy ur childhood, u wont get another one. If ur asking about this, then ur not sure either, there's another reason for u to wait 3 more years.

Answer 2

ok basicly your too too young until you can answer yes to all of these (most people dont and this is where the trouble is in this world) First off is your body grown enough where you can handle a baby. It is possable for an 8 or 9 year old to get pregnant but that puts them at serious risk. Are you ready to be able to have a child? You will have many many sacrafices the rest of your life. It is all for the good but most people are not ready for that kind of commitment. and last of all do you have the money to take care of the child. A child now of days will cost over $300,000 to raise before they become 18. And since your only 14 soon to be 15 yourself the answer for that one HAS to be no. If your family is rich your family has the money not you. All these have to be answered yes because even though you might use a condom and be on the pill it is never garunteed that you wont get pregnant so wait until your much older and can appreciate love more. Wait until you have someone that wont pressure you like him so he can be popular with one of the guys.

Answer 3

Yes and illigal! She may not think this now and say oh no i'll never feel like that but she WILL REGRET IT when you are older! At 15 there is no such thing as a stable relationship, just high school flings I'm affraid and when may seem like true and real love now is just a mixture of hormones flying all over the place and wanting to grow up. At 15 there is far more important stuff for her to focus on, she needs to set herself good grounding now for a career and after that everything else will fall into place... she have her entire adult life for a physical relationship... at 15 she is still a child, tell her to enjoy her childhood!

Answer 4

I am not going to try and tell you what is the right age and what is wrong, everyone is different. However, in deciding if you are too young or not ask yourself these questions:
Are you educated about safe sex?
Are the two of you on the same level as far as what you expect from both this relationship and your joint sexual experience?
Do you agree on condom use?
Are you prepared to handle the consecuences of sex, such as pregnancy and STDs? Even with condom use you still run the risk of each.
Are you emotionally ready to handle the psychological effects of having sex?
And most importantly, is it legal? Depending on how old your boyfriend is, since you say he is older, it could be considered statutory rape for him to have sex with you and, as they say, 15 will get you 20.
You should find a book about women's sexual health and read it. Also, find out what your state's laws for age of consent are and have an honest, no-touching conversation with your boyfriend to be sure you both understand each other's positions and that you are on the same page.
I hope you make the right choice.

Answer 5

Be prepared to see your b/f go to jail if you do. It's illegal for someone over 16 to have sex with anyone under the age of 16.

Also I would wait a few years after that too if I were you.

I'm 21, and still a virgin. I actually am beginning to feel that NOW is the time. I felt the same way as you do when I was 13, but I was told that if I don't wait until I am married, I will die as a sinner. So I am waiting.

There are difficult times along the way, but I feel very special and proud of myself. I think I probably would have regretted it if I had gone ahead and lost it at 13.

Please. Don't give up holding on. You will miss it if you lose it. All of my friends envy me now, even though they treated me like a freak at school.

Answer 6

I would say deffinitely. I'm 18 now and thinking back to when i was 15 i know that i was a much less mature and totally different person. When you are 15 you feel really grown up and ready to make your own decisions.. but i can promise you that your views will change and you still have a lot of growing up to do. I would wait because there are other ways that you guys can prove your love and pleasure each other sexually. Your relationship shouldn't suffer from you guys not having sex. I have 2 friends who lost it at 15 and both regret it deeply.

Answer 7

Depends.

In many countries, you are below the age of consent - thus it is illegal. In some countries - many European ones - you are above the age of consent - so you are legal.

Arguably the law is not quite as important as what is right for YOUR body - some people are 21 are are not emotionally ready for sex, other people who are underage ARE mentally and physically ready.

Remember that a couple of centuries ago when life expectancy was perhaps half what it is now, people were married and bearing children by the time they were 12 or 13.

Ultimately, if it feels right for both of you then, the only concern really is that of the law - which depending on where you live might fully support your right to have sex - or wish to imprison you instead.

There are MANY people male and female who are sexually active VERY early on these days - it is then pointless for people to say meaningless things like "oooh, wait until they are married" or "wait until you are older".

People who have become sexually maturel have sexual urges - and providing they satisfy them with full informed consent on both sides, then, in reality, there is usually no harm done. Note that I said INFORMED consent, so that such issues as STI's and pregnancy are given sensible consideration.

In Spain the age of consent is 13 (used to be 12), in some countries, the age of consent is 21 - and in one or two countries, there is NO formal age of consent whatsoever.

So, ignoring the law which varies far too much to be a useful guide, if BOTH of you wish to have sex, BOTH of you know about safer sex and BOTH of you fully consent, then no, 15 is NOT too young for you to enjoy each other as you wish.

Well, you just need to be sure and protect yourself against pregnancy and disease. So make sure you use protection such as a condom. Planned parenthood has good information concerning these:

http://www.plannedparenthood.org/

Also, the age of consent laws vary around the world from 13 on up. Just depends on where you are. If you are similar age the laws vary some, but there is an age, where you are not supposed to have sex, although not sure of the reasoning exactly, since such a wide variance. So, if you engage in it, just don't advertize it around, to prevent from getting into legal trouble. Here are some links on this aspect of it:

Sex if really great, you just have to be responsible.

Hope this info can help you make an informed decision.

Answer 9

That's probably too young. If you both are not in love it will mess up the relationship. By the way, if a guy says he's in love, don't automatically believe him, it's all the little things he does and says that "tells" you he's in love. From a guy's point of view, after sex, most of the time immediately right afterwards, he will see you differently and start wondering why he is still with you.

Answer 10

I dont think we are the ones you should be asking. Its not about age, in arkansas you can get married at any age.. no one else knows what is right for you. First of all when you say you "want to do it next summer" thats a mistake. Dont plan like its an activity, wait until both of you are ready. If you guys are just cuddling and feel completely comfortable, if you feel safe with him and you trust he wont hurt you, then maybe you can consider it. Dont let him doing because he has hormones... make sure its about your love. Personally i wouldnt do it until after i was married because i dont want to bare the fact of having sex with the wrong person. If your ready to make a comitment like that, then you must be sure you want to marry him no? haha anyways... only you know whats right, but dont make a mistake and be responsible if you decide to.. im sure you know what i mean
