On immaturity and if you're ready for sex

I'm a deep believer in the belief that only you can say If you're ready to have sex or anything sexual with another person. Nobody can tell you that you can or can't do something with another person as long as you're both consenting. But what does being ready mean? It's different for everyone.

Personally I think you're ready if you're mature. Being mature means you have a understanding of the human body and aren't ashamed of who you are. You can deal with bodily fluids and other messy emotions without getting grossed out. Cause spoiler alert: Sex is messy.

Do you feel comfortable with this person? Can you trust this person? Do you have means of contraception and a back up plan if you get pregnant?

'Why do I want to have sex' is a big question you should ask yourself. If you feel pressured, or you want to do it because the other person does is not a good reason. Sex is intimacy. You're exposing yourself in the most revealing way to another person. You don't necessarily need to love the other person to have sex. But you should know how to protect yourself.

If you think you're too young to have sex, you probably are. You can be 18 and say you're too young for sex because only YOU can say if you're too young. If you're 14 and you truly, truly think you're ready, go for it. At the end of the day I'm just a stranger on the internet. Fuck responsibly. I've done it all and can give you advice and my opinion.
