When you're old enough to deal with being responsible about birth control and STD prevention and when you're old enough to deal with the possibility of an unplanned pregnancy.
In general I would say somewhere around 17-19 is when most people are reasonably mature enough to engage in sex. But some people may not be mature enough until they're in their well into their 20's.
I'm not going to give you any sermons about waiting until marriage because I don't believe in that myself. However, from a personal perspective I can tell you that sex with someone you love and care for is much more satisfying than casual sex or a one night stand.

There is no real appropriate age to have sex. It depends on how you feel about someone and how they feel about you. It also depends on you naturity level. You should not have sex with someone just because you want to, or because you think you are ready. You need to be responsible and take care of yourself. Alot of bad things can happen if you aren't ready. When you feel loved and respected, and you think you and your significant other is in it as much as you are then go for it. Don't just do it, because alot of the times people regret it. AND ALWAYS USE CONDOMS!

At least 19 or 20. Personally I think that anything under 19 is too young. Most 18 year olds are not mature enough or ready enough to take on the responsibilities that can come with having sex (getting pregnant and having a kid). Also when you are mentally and financially stable.

now that is a loaded question, most people would say when you are ready... BUT... young people, teenagers tend to think they know more than they do, I was there, I thought the same things and I became a mother at 16 years old... be smart, wait until you really are ready to handle the repercussions, like disease, children, emotional turmoil... it's so much more than you think it, be careful, be smart...
I say all this but we all know in the end people don't learn from other people's mistakes, they jump into things without thinking and children have sex way before they are ready and make extremely stupid choices... so, that said, best of luck...

There is no exact age. When you are in love with and can truly see yourself with that person for the rest of your life. I feel to make this type of decision of what you want out of life does not come until at least your 20's. Up until your 20's you have not experienced life enough to know what you want out of a spouse. I am not saying you have to wait till after you walk down the aisle just after being in a longterm relationship that you are totally committed to planning a future with.

As long as you are ready to handle what will happen during, and after you do it, then you might as well be ready. Though you may know, the legal age is 18. In another view, some religions say you must wait until you are married. It's up to you

It's not an AGE, it's a STAGE. The stage of life when one first engages in making love should be when one has found and met a person they can commit to love and respect for all time.
