What Is a "Good" Age to Have Sex?

Question

Everyone has their own opinion... I noticed this was something that was always talked about in high school... No clue why, but it was. Freshman girls are around 13-14? And were talking about not being virgins. There were a few girls saying they lost their virginity in 6th grade, which is around 11-12 years old. Is age an important factor? Or is it more based on maturity and understanding what you're doing and understanding the consequences??? Parents or non parents, please give me an opinion.

Answer

Like you said. Its about maturity and understanding what you're doing and the consequences. Understanding that you (not your parents or the state) need to take responsibility for your actions should it all go pear shaped (pregnancy) because no form of birth control apart from abstinence is 100% safe. You can't really put an age on it... But 11-17 to me is an absolute no no. As children and young teens your bodies and brains are still developing. Kids that young should have no business having sex. Sex is for mature (and married imo) adults.

Answer

I would say ideal would be legal, mature, aware of consequences and percautions to take, with privacy to do it without sneaking around parents to be able to, and financially sound enough to handle the consequences you may end up with, such as a STI or a child or having an abortion. It is unlikely for that to happen, so if we're thinking more realistically I would say around 17+ because of maturity reasons and the fact that people 16 and under aren't likely to be mature enough, but at least by 17 or 18 you're almost an adult or are now an adult.

Answer

When you are able to take care of a child on your own, at the bare minimum. When you are in a loving, long term, and committed relationship ideally.

Answer

-When you understand that sex always has the possibility of resulting in pregnancy no matter how careful you are.

-When you love yourself and are having sex because you want to share that connection, not because you want him to love you or stick around.

-When you don't have to sneak around to have sex.

-When you are aware of the risk of STIs.

Answer

I don't wanna say good age , I want to just say when you are married is when you should but considering no one wants to wait to try the dick out, at least wait for the right one, not just any one and ride that shit like a mechanical bull. And if u don't like it, try it again. And if it's still bad leave it alone.

Answer

If you can understand the importance of safe sex, and are comfortable with yourself and your partner then I think you are old enough.  But I like to have the general age at 16 because if heaven forbide someone gets knocked up, then you're old enough to get a job and you don't have as much high schooling left to finish.

Answer

I don't think there is a specific age. It's more about what you are ready for at what age and how well you know yourself. I was 18 when I had sex for the first time and looking back, I don't feel like I was ready. It was with my first serious boyfriend and I wish I had waited a little longer than I did.

Even though I was ok with it at the time, looking back I definitely felt pressured into it and that it wasn't really my decision. I was too young to really understand what I wanted.

Answer

If you practice safe sex, consistently get check ups, know and are prepared for accidents, and it's legal where you like are pretty much my requirements, for when I have kids and also the requirements I give myself

Answer

17+ would be ideal
