is 16 a good age for a person to lose their virginity?

[Dude1]

What are your thoughts?

[ChanChan976]

I dont know.... I kind of feel like whenever you get married is the right time but thats not what US law says..... 16 is the legal age so i guess its ok.

[bugen4]

Well there is no "legal" age to lose your virginity Lol.

Its really all in when YOU feel you're ready to lose it and both you and your partner feel the same.

[MikeSpace]

I think its about right.. In that case, I'm hoping to lose mine soon :P

[CharlieHorse]

Do whatever you like :)

[booboo22]

The right age is when you feel you have the right person with you and feel you are sexually/emotionally mature enough for sex.

[Jasperf]

Well there is no "legal" age to lose your virginity Lol.

Its really all in when YOU feel you're ready to lose it and both you and your partner feel the same.

In most countries there is a legal age.

[Goonch97]

I'm not so sure, I can't do it until I'm 18

[BrandonA]

Until you're ready. Don't rush it. But I think marriage is the best time. I'd rather lose my virginity to someone ill spend the rest of my life with then a girl ill break up within 2 months. :p

[hollisterboi95]

Wow, all these guys after my generation are so much more pure than us. Most of us guys my age have lost it already. I lost mine at 14. But my opinion is don't do it! You'll regret it. The first time is awkward and it would be even more awkward for you because your age is just too much in the hormone craze. Trust me, if I could go back I'd wait. That is what I think you should do.

[johnsmith1]

Do it when you're ready, and love the other person. It's hard to know sometimes when you're younger that you love the person , or yo're just horny and the oppertunity is there.

[Ryhanna]

It's fine. All that matters is that you're ready.

[randomme]

I think it depends on a person, I would say 16 seems right for most but for some it isnt, so really it is just if you feel ready

[FizZ]

I guess

[connor156]

Yes i think so but make sure your ready when you do

[Swagging god]

Well there is no "legal" age to lose your virginity Lol.

Its really all in when YOU feel you're ready to lose it and both you and your partner feel the same.

I pretty much agree you only should loose it when you feel you are ready, but I would also add that you should loose it to someone you care for/about

[Steven1]

I personally think it depends on the person and how mature (behavioural (?) and sexually) they are.

[TheWaterPrince]

I lost mine at 15. But I think that what matters is that you should only lose your virginity to someone you care extremely deeply for which is how it went with me. There is no "good age" specifically.

[Tim13]

I feel like I'm ready now.

[teen.jpg]

A better question is are you prepared to deal with any situation possible when you have sex? Are you financially stable enough to raise a child if the situation arises? Are you mature enough to handle it?

If so, then go right ahead.

[crepesuzette]

I don't know. i mean, i'd prefer masturbation as an alternative to having sex because I'm still young and I can't support myself, much less take care of myself or cook for my family.

[drew6]

I wouldn't put an age on it. My experience was with a long time friend, who I was very comfortable and open with. We were dating for a couple months and we were both virgins. We had a fair amount of opportunity before that evening, but it finally just felt right and we had talked about it a lot before hand and wanted it to be both fun and special.

Looking back on it, both of those things were important, the fun and special. I didn't want either of us to do it just so we could check it off some mental to do list or to see if I could get her to do it. To me that would just be awkward and we didn't want awkward. So we did a lot of stuff before giving away our virginity that gave us time to get to know each others's bodies pretty well.

To me, if I had to work to convince her to do it, then I knew she wasn't ready. I wanted it to be something that she really, really, wanted to do so we were partnered and excited about it happening and didn't want either of us crazy nervous or to have any doubt that we were ready. That took any pressure off of both of us and we were still nervous, but not fearful.

Some of the stuff we talked about, was knowing that for the rest of our lives, we were each other's first, so it should be both special and a big deal. We didn't want either of us a few years later to think we should have waited or picked a different person or had waited longer.

We both had a great time and have talked about it since and neither of us has any regrets.

I can emphasize enought that you find build a relationship where you both really care about each other first, talk about, figure out when you both are ready and then wait for the right time. If that happens at 16 or 19 or 22 doesn't really matter.

[Logan96]

if you feel as if you are ready then yes it is!!

[badboy96]

What are your thoughts?

yer i was that old when i lost mine

[Iam_1]

Its fine, alot of ppl do at this age.

[Devonb97]

I'm 15 I was rushed into losing my virginity and I felt I lost my childhood. I feel there isn't a right age tto lose it but there a pregnant 10 year olds and I find that disgusting. Be abstinent ): and wank. Or not it's your life. Just make sure you use a condom..

[SniperKing]

16 is the legal age in most countries so i guess. but typically it's up to you

[digzchickz]

i dont think there is really a right age, i lost it at 16 and i dont regret it... all that matters is that you and your partner are ready and nobody feels pressured, and of course you need to be responsible and stuff... there are probably 12 year olds that can handle it, and some 40 year olds that shouldnt ever have sex lol.

[yerman]

Yeah, it seems like an ok age to me. I feel I'm ready and I'm 16. It is the legal age in most countries, but where I live the legal age is 17

[Loner_97]

I personally think it's not the right age.
you know it never really is unless you are comfortable with it.
So no one should have sex unless and until they think it's the right thing to do and with the right person.

[Unsolvedmind]

i would say yes but only if you and your partner are definitely ready but if not i would wait until your 18

[luq_]

If you aren't ready, and doubting, probably not. When you're sure you won't regret it, and completely believe your partner, go for it!

Question is ~5 months old(damn dates), so I doubt it will help the OP, but shall be useful for anyone who runs across it.

[irogers707]

Whatever you feel comfortable with dude. I list mine at 18

[deregisterme]

I think it's hard to put an exact age on it. If deep down you know you're ready, that's the right time

[drmindfreak]

i think its ok and average

[The captain]

depends on you and sure if that is what you want...there's no age for that but both of you have to be ok with that

[Hermes]

I don't think there is a single right age particularly if having sex for the first time is seen as a prize or something to check off a list. Certainly 16 is old enough to understand the risks, to avoid pregnancy, assuming that is what you want to do, and to realise that for some people, at least, there is emotional baggage attached to sex. That means some people regret that their first sexual experience was with whoever was willing at the time rather than someone genuinely loved. Others don't seem to share that. It is not that either one is right or wrong but it is something to be aware of.

[kinger]

if you think your ready

[Mastretta]

Age is not a factor in when it's ready to have sex, it's about maturity, if you're not going to be safe you're not being mature.

[TheJoseph]

Don't rush yourself into it. Use protection

[roadwarrior]

18 is good age to lose it..

[wirelessbrain]

as long as you think it is the right time and you know what you are doing then 16 is fine!

[ComfortableInChaos]

I'd like to lose mine about now. I'm 15, close to 16, so maybe. I would like to lose it to a guy haha

[Catholic Guy]

This kind of thing isn't about what other people think it's about you, if you feel confident about it, if you are both happy about and if you think it's the right person, it doesn't change it if other people say it's good or bad, it's probably a good idea to consider the law because it's there for a reason, that age is set because it is the age you are deemed old enough to look after a baby. You need to use protection, even if she says she's on the pill or anything take protection into your own hands and be prepared because it doesn't always work

[goodboy321]

i lost my virginity when i was 14. I think it really depends how comfortable you feel and the situation. Don't do it if you are pressured. do it because you want to and it feels right

[hockeyfan]

It's legal. I heavily advise u to use protection. Sounds like a good age to have sex.

[JIntrepid]

losing it is never cinematic man. lol it happens when it happens

[Elysium]
