Will I regret not having sex until I am older?

[internetuser123abc]

On one hand I want to wait to have sex with someone I love but on the other I don't want to miss out on being with teenage girls, while I still can (legally). Theres so many older men who want to be with school girls and it makes me think, is there a reason why?
I am 16 now and I dont mind waiting for the person I love, but what if it doesn't work out with her and I could have been with girls all this time? Last week, I was sure I wanted to wait but last night at a party I came so close to doing it with a (really hot) girl, but I stopped because I might regret it...
What should I do?

Personally, I'm not going to wait. When I'm in a good, strong, healthy relationship, I will have sex (assuming my partner wants to). I feel the same way as you, there are so many good opportunities that could be missed. I don't feel like the first time is so important.

If you just want to have sex to have sex and are going to take zero responsibility for it, don't.

Sex is serious. What if one of those random teenage girls you've with gets pregnant? Or if you contract an STD? Those things are serious and life changing. You need to think about this decision and if it's worth it or not. And if you decide to, you need to be smart about it.

Go for it. I don't see whats so special about a first time. I mean your in High School I rarely see couples make it through summer break. I mean the what I think of it is why care if there's a chance you will break up later on. I really don't get the no sex before marriage thing.

I've read a lot of ppl in teen forums saying they regretted having sex early.
But others said it was awesome.

I dont think its necessary to wait until I'm married, but I think it has to be with someone that I love.

Honestly, don't think about it and just go with the flow. The less you make a fuss out of it, the more you will learn to trust your feelings. Trust me: when you'll be ready for sex, you'll know it. If you end up regretting losing your virginity, it means you weren't ready. If you regret waiting for too long, it means you were and missed out on opportunities not out of morality, but because of lack of confidence. Follow your instincts. That's all there is to it, really. Sex is great, but it's not a must. Do what's right for you.

I think having sex with a stranger is wrong but if it's someone you know and care about I think it's okay. But like LouBerry said, you have to make the smart decision and consider all the possible risk factors.
