When I was 14, I had sex with a guy I had been dating for three months. We broke up within the month That was a huge mistake, because not only was I too young, I did not know him well enough. Similar situations happend to most of my female friends in junior high and high school. They were not necessarily my age, but they jumped into a sexual relationship too soon and their relationship didn't last a month. So basically, for a new relationship between young partners, sex is basically the end of the relationship.
My current relationship begin when I was 16 and we did not have sex until I was 18. I actually loved my boyfriend and knew he loved me and I we both knew we had a lot more in common than just sex. I'm now 24 and we are still together (now living together) and, in fact, we are getting married in May. It is a proven fact (in both my case and in psychological studies) that the longer a couple waits to have sex, the more likely that they will stay together in the long term because they have more to their relationship than just the physical. I belive the stronger the relationship, the longer it can survive without becoming sexual. If it can survive the wait, then it is not worth the sex.
Basically, if you and your partner are both emotionally, physically, and mature and you are in a stable relationship, and you are using sex as an expression of love (not as a way to stay together b/c that doesn't work) then it might be the right time for you. But first, you must consider sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy and decide if you have the means to handle these situations if they do arise.
