Am I too young?

Question

My boyfriend and I are 19 I’m turning 20 this February. we have been together for almost 5 years and by the end of 2019 and the start of 2020 we have started being sexually active after so long. I wanted to make sure I felt right with him and that I wanted him to be my first. It’s been amazing since then and we are safe by using condoms, so we do our best to be careful. However, sometimes I think and ask myself if I’m too young to be having sex. My mom doesn’t know we have sex and if I were to tell her I think she would feel very angry and disappointed and that’s why I haven’t told her anything. I’d just like to know what you all think, if I’m too young to be having sex.

Answer

I think if you're mentally not ready then you're physically not ready.
19 is a decent age to have sex. But do understand there can be consequences. You're an adult but I really do think you guys should discuss in an event of an unplanned pregnancy what would you do. Nothing is 100% except abstaining and I'm glad you're using condoms to be safe.
What your mother thinks is honestly her opinion, like I said you're an adult and at 19 I was having sex too. It's normal. I would suggest it to be a need to know bases. If she doesn't ask I wouldn't say anything

Answer

You're 20 years old. That's years into being a legal adult. Literally no one will tell you being an adult is too young to have sex.

Answer

I don’t think you’re too young, especially with that amount of time in your relationship.

Answer

I don’t think so, but if you don’t feel ready, you could always stop for a while and resume when you feel more ready 💗 your mom doesn’t need to know. Maybe you feel bad because your mom has framed sex as something that’s wrong and shameful under most circumstances.

Answer

If you think you are too young then you are too young. 19 you are a legal adult, so you can make that choice yourself.

Answer

Nope, I started at 19 too. As long as you’re comfortable and doing it because you want to then it’s fine.

Answer

You could legally go and get married on your own right now, you are not too young to be having sex.

Answer

If you feel safe, comfortable, and happy having sex then you aren’t too young. 
If you are doubting whether you should be having sex, it doesn’t matter how old you are. It’s something you need to think about and decide if you want to continue.

Answer

Most people start when they are way younger girl. You are fine and sound like your being very responsible. Don’t worry About it.

Answer

I’m 19, I turn 20 on February 23rd, and I’ve been with my now husband since I was 15, will be 5 years together on May 2nd. Honestly, we had sex before we started dating. It was different. I felt carefree with him and now 5 years later we are in a healthy marriage. When you know, you know. If you don’t want to get pregnant, be sure to use caution and protection at least 2 weeks before.
