When is the right or normal or healthy age to have sex?

Question

I am in high school and it seems like everyone around me is having sex. I would personally want to wait until I get married but it seems like the only thing a guy needs is sex and sex is the only thing to do to stay in a relationship for a long time. Thoughts?

Answer

If you want to wait until you are married, go right ahead, don't let anyone pressure you if you're not ready.

Answer

Whenever YOU feel you are ready, all those people having sex, I can bet at least half will or do regret it, I lost mine through being pressured and looking back I wish I had a better memory of it, whenever you feel ready and have whatever you need in place, whether you want contraception or are married or ready for babies, you need to go by you, if someone's pressuring you they're not the right person, hope it all goes okay for you, we're all here for you :)

Answer

If you want to wait until you're married, wait until you're married. I think it's amazing when people do decide to do that! There are guys out there that do have the same outlook on sex as you do. Not many, but there are some! Stay positive and don't stress about it, do this for YOU.

Answer

There are probably quite a few people that haven't had sex in your school too. Not everything you hear is accurate. There was a rumor when I was in 12th grade that I slept with 5 different guys when I reality I had never even kissed a guy Nevermind have sex. Some people say they have had sex when they really haven't just so they don't get made fun of too. Do what you feel comfortable with. If you want to wait until marriage do it! Don't have sex just because you feel like it's what you have to do to fit in. Once you are done with high school you won't see those people anymore and it won't matter if you fit in or not.

Answer

I first had sex when I was 17. I wasn't emotionally ready for what it was or what it meant. Now that I'm in a relationship with the man I love the most I wish he would have been the one. I say wait till your old enough to understand.
