Is it ok to have sex at 16?

Question

I'm 16, almost 17, and I have been with this boy for about a year. I love him so much but I don't know if I should wait or not.

Answer

Its not ideal for everyone to wait until marriage, Only you can decide if thats important to you. If you aren't sure, wait until you are.

Answer

That’s only a question you can answer. If you have doubts, then you aren’t ready. Use protection if you decide you are ready!

Answer

If you are ready just be safe. I lost my virginity at 16 and I ended up marrying him and we have been married for 4 years now.

Answer

If you're unsure, the answer is wait

Answer

If you are fully comfortable and believe yourself to be truly ready then go ahead.

Answer

When in doubt wait it out. Ideally you should always wait till marriage to have sex.

Answer

As long as you do it safely

Answer

If I could talk to my younger self, I would say to wait. Maybe not til marriage, but definitely longer than I did. I don't regret most of my partners, but definitely my first. It wasn't special, it wasn't romantic, we weren't even dating...he just was my first everything else I figured he should be my first that too. I didn't have sex for 2-3 years after that. The whole experience was just terrible.
