At what age would you be OKAY enough for your child to be sexually active?

Question

There's so many parents who freak out about their child having any sexual activity at even at the age of 17... i didn't do anything until I was 20.. first kiss.. lost virginity.. handjob..blowjob..everything at 20... even started masturbating at 22. So what age would u be okay with it?

Answer

Why is 14 and under even an option?!
No one should be “okay” with children being sexual active.

Answer

I mean I think everyone should wait till 18 to have sex

Answer

I just want my children to be smart and safe amd happy. Thats all I care about.

Answer

Realistically 18 would be amazing, but we are talking about the real world. 
I think by age 15 to 16, teens should be aware of how to safely prevent pregnancies and babies, what consent means and when it ends and how their body works. And of course the school system won't teach any kids those things, so by that age all parents should already have educated their kids about it

Answer

I know once they’re in high school sex will be be everywhere, so 15-18

Answer

Well.....define "okay". 🤣
That's a loaded question. I dont think I would ever be completley "okay" as in "get it girl" till my kid is way into her 2ps but I'm also not foolish enough to bury my head in the sand and think I can prevent it by forbidding it.
What I would do is encourage her to be safe, be her advocate when she needs it, ask her to be open with me so a good exchange of information can occur and insist on meeting and knowing any boyfriends she chooses. 
I'd rather know shes sexually active at 15 but be able to acertain that the boy is a good kid, know shes on birth control and taking precautions against STDs rather than forbidding her to have a boyfriend only to have her sneak off and see him anyways...but now I cant help her.

Answer

I have spoke to my children about their body since they could talk. We had the sex talk when they started asking questions. I do not want my children to feel like my mother made feel. She made me feel like your body and sex was an awful nasty thing. I tell my kids it’s important they find the perfect person before they do it and I’ve also taught them the dangers and how to protect themselves. If my teens were to come and ask for birth control or condoms I would not shame them. I would talk to them and buy what they needed. To answer the question, I don’t have a certain age in mind. I was 15 when I lost my virginity. I knew he was THE ONE! Happily married to him now for almost 12 years and we have 4 kids. I know I made the right descision by having sex at 15 because I was truly in love. I think different kids mature differently and faster than others.

Answer

I think at the age where they can get job. That way they can provide for the baby if for some reason they get pregnant or get someone else pregnant. I do hope that when they say comes that they will be smart and use protection but I know thing do happen.

Answer

This topic makes me cry as my son is only 7 years old just now but I would say 18-20 ( my preference ) but kids will be kids I was 15/16 my first time and pregnant at 19 (planned) I thrived , I love being a mum I’m 26 now and wouldn’t change my life for anything. 
So really depends on maturity etc as long as we provide them with the right information about sex and respect etc then we are preparing them

Answer

No earlier than the legal age here, that's for sure. I'd be a hypocrite if I expected them not to have sex until they were adults.
