The best time to have sex is when you're mentally ready.
You could be 25 and still have the maturaty of a 12 year old so obviously, you wouldn't be ready.
If you think you're ready and mature enough then go for it.
jenymca answered Monday September 12 2005, 8:12 pm: It depends. Some people like to wait to have sex until they are married and because of their values, they want to save something special for that right man and ect. Other people have fun having sex, or would want to test out to see if they are sexually compatible with a man before they marry them. If you don't wait until marriage, then wait until you are over 18 there are definatly benefits to it you are more mature, developed more, are more ready for it...so there are pros and cons, it depends on the kind of person you are.
Remember, you aren't a terrible person if you have sex before you're married, many people do it. Especially if you aren't a teen, because you are older, it's much more respectable then. Having sex before you want to can be emotionally crippling, so do it when you are ready, not to other peoples standerds. [ jenymca's advice column | Ask jenymca A Question ]

Igotamonopoly answered Monday September 12 2005, 2:29 am: The legal age of consent in most states is at least 16, so if your parents (or his) wanted to, either you or your parter could be arrested and charged for statuatory rape. If this is someone that you would not feel guilty about losing your virginity to, then folow your heart, son't let anyone make that decision for you. Be prepared for the risks of sex though. If you got hiv, another std or became pregnant, how would you deal? Many guys dump girls after sex, so be careful. The best of luck to you.

_sarahxoxo answered Sunday September 11 2005, 4:07 pm: I would wait until you are married. If you wait until you get married not only will you be mature enough you will also be protecting yourself from getting a STD. Stay safe.

LoveNJstyle answered Sunday September 11 2005, 3:51 pm: theres no definate age...you have people losing it at 12 and then people that never have sex at all. its when you want to. if you wanna be sure that someone will be there the morning after and take care of you and your child if you get pregnant, wait for marriage. if you really must have sex with someone, wait till around 17-18. its really up to you. <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
GossipGirl69 answered Sunday September 11 2005, 3:12 pm: Hey,
If you are questioning sex then you should wait until you feel ready. I'm 16/F and not a virgin, but hey...thats me. I honestly believe you should wait till marriage. But dont go out and have sex just b/c of pressure, be ready.
You Know You Love Me!

historygrl4no1 answered Sunday September 11 2005, 3:04 pm: Whatever age you think is apporitate is the best age for you. Since we are all different, the age for sex varies, so I can't tell you what age to have it. Hope this helped.
DangerWench answered Sunday September 11 2005, 2:49 pm: You're going to get a lot of different answers to this one, but if you want to wait until marriage, then wait! Don't let anybody pressure you into doing something you don't want to do, just because it makes them feel like less of a slut if everybody else is doing it, LOL. ;-)
Other people wait until marriage too, so you aren't alone in your feelings. Hubby and I both waited until our wedding night and we were 26. And yes, I absolutely think that's the best time. It's the best way to find a guy who really loves you for you. You'll know you haven't wasted yourself on someone who lied to you and was only interested in what your body parts could do for him. You only get one chance to give that gift to someone, you can never take it back. [ DangerWench's advice column | Ask DangerWench A Question ]
wolfdog0298 answered Sunday September 11 2005, 2:45 pm: It depends on what you want to do. Just make sure that the guy you want to do it with, really loves you,and doesn't just want to fool around with you. [ wolfdog0298's advice column | Ask wolfdog0298 A Question ]
mrs_radcliffe answered Sunday September 11 2005, 2:21 pm: There is really no right age! Most people know when there ready its a feeling they get that they are ready to have sex. For me i think the right age is 15 16 but some people lose it much early that that.

Basketball3846 answered Sunday September 11 2005, 2:09 pm: People do it at all differant ages and there's no "right" time to do it. A lot people wait until there married that way they know that they are really in love when they first do it and it's not with some guy that they could break up with the next day. When ever you do decide to, make sure you feel completely comfortable with the guy your with. And always use protection. [ Basketball3846's advice column | Ask Basketball3846 A Question ]
