What Age Do You Think Is Appropriate?

[mrmee]

Ive seen a couple of posts saying like "is it normal to be a virgin at 16". I personally think that's way to early to loose your virginity. What age do you think is an appropriate age to loose your virginity?

[LouBerry]

Why do people keep asking this? It's not so much about age, it's about maturity.

There is no magic line like, BOOM, you're 16? Go have sex, you're ready! No. If you are immature, irresponsible, or a douchecookie, you should not be having sex, whether you are twelve or 46.

It completely depends on the person. Everyone's different. I'd say anywhere from 14 onward if you're ready.

I agree with her

12 is where i say its way to young

[gliderman]

If both the boy and girl are happy about it, safe, and mature then it can happen at any age I think!

[cherylcherylX2]

There's no sudden age of maturity and insight that makes you any more legible for sex. It's all individual, 13 or 16 or 18 or 30 or 40, it should be up to the individual.

[nklarke]

It depends on MANY factors, there isn't a specific age.

[Nic0 Fiend]

If you think about it there are people as young as 12 having sex already while some of us haven't. I think it depends on how you feel about it as a whole and if you're ready to do it or just rushing it to be like others

[Datguy1]

theres no age its when you and your girl feels like ye are ready

[KellyNC]

Like other's have said it's dependent on your trust and relationship with another person, personal and maturity. There's no age anyone should feel that they have to lose it by. ON the other end of the spectrum there are definitely extreme cases, but I think around 12-13 it becomes okay in some cases where that trust, relationship and maturity are there.

In my opinion (AND ITS JUST MY OPINION) anything under 17-18 is TOO young............ but that's just my opinion! ;)

[jackthorpe]

i lost mine at 16 on my 16th birthday but its when ever you feel ready wether that is 12 or 20 or 45 or never its a personal thing

[CheekyLinda]

I had sex with a guy for the first (and only) time at 12. I don't regret it, but now I think I could have waited to mature a bit more. I believe 16-17 is a sensible age.

[Rhiannon97]

I lost my virginity at 12 to an 11 year old guy and neither of us have any regrets about it. I think it is okay to have sex when you start having sexual erges when you reach puberty.

[Nihilus]

19 and still a virgin. It's not a big deal.

[ninja789]

13 seems fine over here

[CheekyBird]

I'm 17 and pretty mature; I still have my virginity and I'm not planning on losing it any time soon... unless I find someone special then no way. But everyone is different some people might feel ready to when they are young, but they might regret it later... know a some people who made a fuss about it and once they had lost their virginity they decided it that sex meant nothing when at their age and now sleep with anyone....

Personally I would say some people lose their virginity at a young age, but in the end like 90% of the time, it's their choice.

[Fallen_Eagle]

I think 18-30(some people still wait until marriage!) could be considered decent.

[drmindfreak]

thirteen

[Yolo98]

18, any younger is too young

[BlueSky]

Sex is overrated, I reckon. Does it matter?! ;)

[Katiya]

Maturity. I use the no sex until marriage as a guide. I call it 'friends before marriage'. If you arent so close with your partner that you'd be willing to get married WITHOUT sex before hand than its too soon or the wrong person. You need to love the person for who they are not their bed performance. When the bond is strong enough to hold without sex then you are ready to introduce it.

If all you do is sex and don't have a strong friendship bond it will never work. I believe this is the best way.

I am still virgin. My partner must love me for me without the expectation of sex because that is how I would need to love them. Only then with the criterium filled will I ever even think abut it. In my opinion a true partner loves you whether or not you can provide intercourse. There for the emotional bond hold the relationship and not the expectation of sex.

Of course both people can be horny and love each other, they must just be sure other interests match up and not just the fact they are horny. You can't fight about everything else except sex because the relationship falls apart emotionally.

[Readerkid]

I think in most states its illegal to have sex under 16.

[SammieRose]

After you hit puberty and when you are physically and emotionally ready for it. There is no age for it. But before puberty, your body is not ready for it. It is ok to be a virgin at age 12 and 99 if you are not completely ready for sex. Celibate ppl never have sex in their life.

[Synyster Shadows]

Like it's been said, age doesn't matter, well except that it should be after one starts puberty. But after that, it depends on the individual's maturity and if they're physically and mentally ready for it. Katiya brought up some good points - one has to have found the right person that they love for the person's personality, not just their performance in bed. If that's all that matters, the relationship will fall apart much too quickly.

[mikemartin]

How old were you?
I think 12

[mai-rin]

Well i'll wait untill im at least 16,maybe 18.I'm not a virgin,but that's because of abuse.

[skiman]

I say age 20. Any earlier is too early.

[Quarter_Master]

It happens when it happens, but you can't tell if it is just hormones or real love, if you are teenager.

[smelliot44]

i think whenever you are ready and you fully trust the person you are having it with.
