Not exactly a "right" age, but if I had to average it, I'd say 17.

dang im ok in your books to have sex then. well there isnt but i agree with ^ and around 17 or older

ehh...yes you can...you can get pregnant at any time actually...there's always an egg... and if a sperm gets in...you're in trouble! I don't blame you though..you're only like 13...you can get pregnant anytime...even during the period...gross though but true.

I am pretty sure its when you get married for morale reasons but I said when you become an adult.

I would really like to wait until I was married. I don't want to share sex with someone who didn't really love me, honestly, it's not worth it.

I think when I'm married that's when I'm gonna f**k. I want my first to be with the special someone I legally bound myself to.

i was gonna post something like that after reading her post, but you beat me to it by about 7 months.

it seems morally to wait til marriage and not be like the girls at our school that are 14-16 and already had 1-2 babies, but it's whenever you decide is right. theres no set date that says you have to have sex specifically on this date and if you do it before hand, you die and go to hell.

I think the original quote refers to the fact that guys often seem to lose their virginity at a younger age, which is possible if they are losing it to girls who are older than them.

How many girls f**k younger guys in high school, though?

It doesn't necessarily have to be in high school. I think, on the average, girls generally lose their virginity at an older age than guys.

When you're mind is mature...though...%99.9 percent of teenagers never know when, or their mind doesn't mature for a long time, so my thoughts are for most of you guys to wait...

I say A.S.A.P, no use in waiting. At least try to wait until a little later but not way too young.

i'd say at LEAST when you're an adult, and i don't mean 18-21, cuz if u fu*k things up and the girl[or you] accidentally gets pregnant, you'll be old enough to handle things, and more importantly, you'll be more responsible and stable enough for it to not ruin your life.

I'd say when you're fully developed and when you know you're ready.

when you're ready and youre ready for the consequences

my first time was sophomore year LOL

Married, of course. You don't want to get a girl pregnant during your wedding/before your wedding. People might gossip on you that you are a playboy and stuff.

Bleh, there's too many topics about this.

well...........i'm 14, almost 15, and i'v already done it...........i think it's awsome, and you should only do it if you're really in love with the person you're doing it with

:non-threateningly attacks: Mwee! I found you!!! Yes...very awesome.
I think it should be whenever you feel the time is right, and if you really, truly, love the other person and you want to spend the rest of your life with them. Aka, NOT lust. I love him (^) very much and it was just...right.

ok i don't think this is true, but it's funny.

"there's no us in love, but there is in LUST" -Patsy

Probably 17 on prom night. At our school the cops were talking to our class and said it's illegal to have sex b4 16.

I think wen your 16 17 0r 18 you know what your doing and you know what could or couldent happen?

I would say around 16 or 17.

I soppose when you're complete and 100% sure you're ready and your with someone you absolutely love.

For me? I'd say at least after 18, and ofcourse when I'm 100% ready. I'm going to try if it's at all possible to do it only with one man, the man I marry.

I think a boy is more the man by having the strength to wait till marriege to have sex, it shows he is strong and also it must be nice to know your sleeping with a man who's never sleeped with any other women.

Whenever you get the chance :P

Seriously, in my opinion, i think you should wait until:
1. You are in love and you believe the other person in love.
2. You and the one you are in love have TALKED about it, and are comfortable with it.
3. You know the risks involved:
-Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD's)
-Pregnancy
-Emotional risks (if you found him/her sleeping with someone else would it make you feel worse?)
-Social\psychological problems. This one is a little more indepth and awkward. We live in a society that commonly has a mentality that is acceptant, and sometimes quite for sex with multiparter's and little focus on the importance of emotional involvement. Emotional involvement and proper arousal contribute a lot to a sexual experience. They improve feelings, lower any anxieties, and can make intercourse a good thing for a relationship. On the other hand, intercourse without the emotional involvement can have negative effects on a relationship, especially on the occurance of pregnancy. A bad sexual experience can lead to negative views of intercourse and members of the opposite sex.
4. And finally, that you are not doing so under any the shadow of peer pressure, popularity, alcohol, drugs, or coercion.

Respect the other person's thoughts and decisions, even if you don't agree with them, women, too. Women aren't the only ones to be hurt when things get sexual. I've hear a personal story from a guy that was humilitated after a girl he was with told some people that he was a guy that "took no for an answer". His account was they had already started and she stopped and said maybe she shouldn't, he then stopped because he didn't want to push her and took her home. A man that respects women having it shoved in his face like it was something bad. Be careful guys and girls, the longer you have spent with the person the better.

No matter what your age is, be informed. I think you should wait until you are at least 16. I don't believe that engaging with in intercourse prior to marriage is a sin if you and your partner are in love. I am 18, 19 next month, and I am still a virgin, not much by choice.but I don't care how long it takes to find someone that I am in love with to share that with. I've never had a girlfriend, so any-of-yous that feel left out, don't fret it.

64 ppl = married.

Gosh. Freaks.

Childhood idealism?

^ excuse me?

I took your comment to mean that it was strange that the plurality of votes (64) said that the responder would wait until marriage. It seems to me that that is an idea that is common early on in adolescence, but eventually is lost.

Perhaps I misinterpreted your comment.

^ That is EXACTLY what i meant (if i understood you). I mean, they are only 13/14...lets wait and see.

I really think it's up to the person. I would want to enforce waiting until your married or at least engaged, but if it's what you wanna do, then go ahead. There's no law saying you can't (Unless it's incest or your partner is under 18 or 21, can't remember what it is). Do what you want.

Just remember:

Why have sex when you have your left hand? There's no STDs or risk of pregnancy with THAT!

Because I'm right-handed.

Ill wait to get married but then Oh yeah its gunna be fun city ( you know what I mean)

i agree.
unless u THINK UR READ AT THE AGE OF Like..... 13..
then no.

I think that people should wait until they are responsible enough to care for a baby.

i think i'll be ready when i kno i could handle the situation of getting pregnant. but im not right now. so i really dont kno when im ready! but hey im a HaPPy VirGin! :)

I'd say that most people lost their virginity at around 16 or 17.

But I would say that you should wait until you know the other person loves you and you know you love him. Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth it. You have to be in love before you have sex in my opinion. It's not making love if you aren't, it's just sex.

Between 20-30

^ lmao yeah right...

i say u do it whenever u think ur ready to do it....

thank you to all the ppl who said "when your married"!!!

STAY ABSTINENT!

^THEN GO AHEAD AND STAY UNSATISFIED ;)

around 16-18...that's when you're mature enough to know the risks and make decisions on your own.

ha uhm..when you get married.

Whenver a girl first wants to use you for sex, which is usually when you're about 16-17.

Sex was made for a married couple....so I am just going to wait to do it to the one I get married with......wel that's what I intend(sp?) to do....

like 17 or 18....the ppl around me have already lost their virginity...and it seems now...since its senior yr..most of what ppl talk about is sex sex sex and wanting to have more sex..and 15 would be too young

abstinence..from what i see around me..i think thats slowly dying out =\

Right around 17 or 18 but always wear a condom or else you can destroy any plans for your future i know a guy who had a kid at 15

My friends asked me this question...and I said when I'm over 18. They all wanna do the.....ummm....barry white? When their 16+

when im married baby
