Sex is a natural part of being alive. Everybody does it, some for fun and others just to produce offspring. (Fun fact: Dolphins have sex for fun :). ) No one should be ashamed of it, or feel like a whore for it, or anything like that. I mean, why not do something that feels good? haha :)

As a 17 year old, I believe you should wait until you are emotionally ready and in love with somebody before you give it up.

No.

the choice should be YOURS (and your partner's), NOT society's

society's standards and biology are not always on the same level.

I know that I was 19 when I first had sex, and I know that all of my friends had sex while we where 14-16. I think it all depends on what is right for you, but I would prefer my daughter to wait. I know it is unlikely, but I have to hope...I'm a mom.

Some teens are responsible enough, and emotionally capable of it. In that case, kudos to them. Most of those teens are about 17-18.

However, a lot of teens aren't responsible enough, and the thought that 12-14 year olds are doing sexual things kind of grosses me out. I'm trying not to slut-shame, but come on, these are kids younger than me (and I'm only a freshman).

well judging by the majority...most were never “men” to begin with, seeing as this question is based on teenage sex.Maybe some guys who were raised better don't leave their girlfriends after getting her pregnant.Then that girl chose a good guy.Maybe you know some people of even your self who have has a child young, and the father stayed to support the child, buy its quite hard and stressful most men are not emotionally mature enough or financially stable to raise a child.

In my opinion a child should wait until they are emotionally ready I do think children are becoming sexually active to early statistically they're likely to start have oral sex around age 12 or 13 and progress to intercourse around 14. If you ask me kids should wait until at least 16 and again should wait until they're emotionally mature enough to handle the consequence's that can occur.

Everyone is ready at different times. Some people are ready by 14, some people won't be even at 40. I could have probably handled sex at 15, and I know I could now. However at this point I wouldn't be able to form a relationship with someone close enough to have sex before I was 17. I also plan to wait at least until I'm 17 and in a loving relationship, then I'll be the age of consent in my state,and my boyfriend won't be thrown in jail.
Personally I think the age of consent in the US should be lowered to 16 everywhere, it strikes me as a good age to go from. Teens will always have sex, no reason to throw someone in jail for having sex with a partner who was willing and fully aware of her choice, but just happened to be 17 and 11 months.

I just know that they should all at least be safe about it. I personally want my first time to special and I'm pretty sure a lot of them want that too, that being said, special does not have to involve pregnancy

I was 16, and I don't regret it at all. :)
I'm on the pill, and I don't sleep around, and I'm not stupid.
It was with someone who was very special to me at the time, and it was wonderful.

i think personally that they should wait til they're married. or, like i did, wait at least until theyre with the person they know they are going to marry. but sometimes it just happens i guess. but i think parents should control their kids better. i was almost 19 before i ever even came close to having sex.

No. I started having sex when I was 15/16 and I don't regret it at all. Sex is natural, it feels good, and imo as long as you're being careful, why not?

Actually I would've been a sophomore/junior at that time. I started highschool when I was 14 and I didn't have sex then.

No, "all" is the qualifier that's reason to answer "no," though in nearly all cases it's a mistake for a teen girl to have sex.

I was probably ready at about fifteen, but we all develop at different rates in all departments. Some might not be ready until they're thirty, others might be ready at eight.

I feel that eighteen is probably a good general rule, though.

It's a personal choice. Some should wait, others are mature enough that they don't need to. Age isn't what's most important here...mutual love and respect + protection are.

I believe people should have sex when they believe it's right for them. I had sex for the first time when I was 16, but a lot of people aren't mature or educated enough to handle it at that age.

If the legal age is 16, then 16. If the legal age is 18, then 18. o3o

As long as it's with consent, responsibility/protection, and there's not a huge age gap, I don't see the problem.

No I'll listen to yours if you werent speaking from a religious perspective.. a notion christians believe in. When you get your head away from the bible for a couple seconds, you will understand that SEX is human nature , infact its WORLDS nature, animals do it as well, it's waht we do to reproduce and also for pleasure which not only feels DAMN good but stimulates the mind and relieves stress, is that GROWN UP enough for you?

Figment to brination 2012/05/10 00:10:16

Unfortunately not everyone grows out of hedonism. Keep doing what feels good and end up with STDs or pregnancy! I am religious, but I am not necessarily going to argue from a religious perspective. I think that most teenagers are not mature enough to handle the consequences of sexual activity.
