How old were...?

Question

How old were you were you when you had sex for the first time?

I am wondering because I want to know if I am to young to do it at my age.

Answer 1

Breene is right. All that matters is that YOU are ready. It doesn't matter when other people did it. (You might want to check out your state's laws, just so that you or your boyfriend don't get arrested because you're too young)

Answer 2

well the old stand by is that if you have to ask, then you are too young.
Looking at it from a more practical standpoint. The female body is not ready for sex physcially until she is well past adolescence, I say this because the anatomy simply isn't there for a female to be able to fully enjoy the experience. That comes along about your mid 20's and just keeps getting better and better there after. Problem is that guys have all the pleasure from the git go, and they don't like to wait, regardless of how little pleasure their partner may get from intercourse. You've seen perhaps all the questions in here from young girls and women wanting to know how to have an orgasm? it's because their bodies are not fully mature, and they will not experience one until that is accomplished. Just because you can become pregnant, doesn't mean the body is ready for sex.
Point two: The potential for pregnancy is there, no matter what kind of contraception you use, it is there. If you are not fully prepared to pay for and raise, for the next twenty years, a child...then do not have sex.
Point three: Emotional maturity to weather the storms of hormonal changes that accompany an active sex life is also something lacking in most females under the age of 23 or 24.
So, guess I am saying, depending on your age of course, taken all into consideration..the smart thing is to wait, for as long as you can. But knowing society, and knowing how curious adolescents are about sex, I doubt you will (sigh) so just do your best to be protected as you can be when you do.;

Answer 3

It is different for every one. I lost my virginity at 15.... but I should have waited. Definitely. I just wasn't ready emotionally at that age. Had I waited, I think I would have been able to avoid a lot of mistakes I made. I was under the impression that the only way I could keep a boyfriend was to have sex with him... Now I know that is not true. If all he wants is sex, then he needs to be with someone else. If he's not the right person for you, then he is only going to stick around for the sex and not because of what a wonderful person you are.

As I got older (I'm 26 now), I used to think that I needed to have sex with my boyfriend whenever he wanted or he would cheat on me. Not true. If he's a cheater, then he will cheat on you regardless of how often you give him sex.

So, there is not an age limit to when you are ready for sex. If you are not 100% sure, then NO, you are not ready. Even if you are 25 and you are not sure, that's okay, too. Focus on having a good, healthy relationship. Focus on friendship. The sex will happen when it is supposed to. Don't force yourself to do something you are not ready for just because all your friends have already done it.

Answer 5

Im going to answer you honestly because I think that you've had enough people telling you what's right for you.
I was 16, and in love. It was something that we both had talked about, wanted to do, and had been in our committed relationship for many months. Just remember it's your first time, and you can't ever get that back, so don't do something you'll end up regretting. I honestly don't regret it, and even though we're not together now, I don't think it made me a bad person, or that I made an immature choice, I had the support of my Mom and guidance of our family doctor.

Answer 6

Don't base whether or not you have sex on when others started. Your physical age has little to with it...if you are not mentally prepared then you are too young. The fact that you even asked this question...you are too young...give it a few years.

Answer 7

If you're wondering and asking this question, then you're too young.

I was 18 and I wasn't ready for all that went into it. Its not just sex....it's psychological, emotional, physical. It's contraceptives and pregnancy scares, and STD worries, and reputations being ruined.

Keep your pants on till you're an adult...I can tell by the tone of your question that you're anything but.

Answer 8

Sex is a very serious undertaking and should only happen between two mature adults, preferrably a newly married couple.

Answer 9

I was 20. It was my first and only. It was with the man that I am married to.

Answer 10

i was 16, but i was, and still am, in a very commited relationship. we were actually already engaged at the time. we are still together to this day, though not married yet. im 18 now.
