To young to lose my virginity?

Question

When I was growing up I always used to think I was going to wait until marriage to have sex but then when I hit puberty I started to realize I might do it before. I always thought 16 or older was an okay age to lose it but when I got closer to that age I realized I wasn’t emotionally ready at all. Now I’m 17 and I feel like I’m ready. I have a great boyfriend who I trust and I feel like I’m emotionally mature enough. The only problem is that I’m worried I’ll regret it. I try not to look back on anything in my life with regret but when I hear society telling me I’m to young it makes me scared that I’ll look back on this is in 5 years and realize I was. Personally I still think I’m ready but it worries me when I hear horror stories about people wishing they had waited so I don’t know what to do. Should I go for it or wait?

Answer

I was 17 when I lost my virginity. The guy ended up becoming my husband but I didn’t know or plan that at the time lol and never regretted it. 
The value we have placed on virginity is a social construct. You are not a completely different person once it happens and your value doesn’t change. It’s all up to the person to define for themselves what would be healthy & good for them.
I think it sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders and you were able to identify when you definitely weren’t ready so trust yourself. Do it with someone your very comfortable with, educate yourself and use protection. As long as you feel safe and comfortable and the person are with is safe and comfortable I doubt you’ll regret it. It’s also not a rush so I wouldn’t stress about it.

Answer

Do what you feel is right. You will comfortably do it when you’re ready. But don’t think too hard about it, it’s a beautiful thing. I was 16 when I lost mine. It was kind of spontaneous because we were two people who didn’t really get along but forced together by a dare. And we got locked in a room, and the people forgot about us to let us out. And we just started kissing and then he took my virginity.. it was nice. And for a year or so we were each other’s go-to. And then we got into serious relationships and lost touch. I wouldn’t change it though, it made me who I am today tbh. So, just do whatever you feel is right for YOU. Not your boyfriend, not your future husband, not your family, but you!

Answer

If you’re ready you’re ready.
If you’re worried you’ll regret it then it sounds like you’re not ready.
I was 15 & don’t regret it, I knew it’s what I wanted to do and who I wanted to lose it to. 6 years later we’re married now & have a 4 month old daughter. But even if things didn’t work out for us I would never regret it.
