is having sex at 17 normal?

Question

My older sister just found out my boyfriend and I had sex and shes not taking it so well and I'm really sad, I just don't want to lose her trust, I promised her I won't do it again and I really do mean it. I just don't know what to say or how to approach her again about this, please help.

Answer

I lost my virginity at 17. She's your sister, not your mother. You shouldn't stop having sex with your boyfriend just because your sister can't handle you growing up.

Answer

Your relationship to sex is completely all YOURS. No one has the right to claim ownership of that. As women in a patriarchal society that puts value in our biological function above our "personhood"; we are inculcated into shaming each other over sex. But sex is completely normal, as long as you are responsible to your health and well being. You are mature enough to understand the responsibility of it. And this is a time for you to have support not anger. It is unfair to put unreasonable expectations on you. To not have sex because it upsets someone else? That's as if your body belongs to someone else. And it matters little if that person is a relative. This is how the cycle of abuse continues. Stand your ground and claim your privacy. You are about to be an adult. Even if those around you can't see it, the world will treat you as such. Have a frank discussion, calmly when the dust settles. And claim what is yours and draw a line in the sand. You are entitled to privacy, sexual fulfillment and pleasure. None of this means you are a "slut". The world is not divided into black and white. I hope the best for you. So that you can be an independent, healthy adult.

Answer

I lost my virginity at 16. As long as you are confortable with sex (meaning talking about it, taking the necessary precautions, and being well informed) then I see no issues. There is no specific time when you should lose your virginity, it's simply a matter of whether or not you are ready and comfortable. Your sister my be sad because you're her little sister. Perhaps she's realizing how much you've grown. There are many different possibilities

Answer

I'm sorry :( why is she so upset about it?

If you are happy with your choice to have sex, aside from the situation with your sister, don't worry about it!

Answer

Wait so your 17 and you don't know if it's normal? Just trying to understand, a lot of people including myself have sex before or while their 17 lmao. It's never unnormal to be having sex at any age. (Obviously not too young)
 I lost my flower at 13 1 month before turning 14. So good for you your having sex. Your sister shouldn't be giving you doubts about your own sex life your almost an adult for Petesakes.
