When is it like the 'ok' age to have sex? My friend, I believe shes rushing into it way too quick. Since shes only 14. She hasn't done much yet. But, I'm worried about her. Health wise, & 'reputation wise' What age is the ok age? & what should I say to her, & her boyfriend/best friend [there on & off. as a couple. -__-] about it?
xokristabelle answered Monday July 3 2006, 5:40 pm: Most girls I know started at 15 or 16. My personal "ok age" is 16, and if I've been going out with the guy for at least six months. Parents/law say 18 and most religions say wait until marriage but realistically the average age is about 16, at least people I know. [ xokristabelle's advice column | Ask xokristabelle A Question ]

I don`t think you should get into anything with them because it's honestly there choice to do it. ♥ [ xOViLLYxO's advice column | Ask xOViLLYxO A Question ]
TEENAGExHEARTS answered Monday July 3 2006, 11:34 am: well in my opinion, 14 is a little too young to have sex, and i'm 14 myself. right now having sex isn't even an option. i think it is fine for them to makeout and everything, but i wouldn't go as far as having sex. because if they do, it will get around and some people will tease/embarrass her about it. i would at least wait until 16, but that is just my opinion.

xomichelle891xo answered Monday July 3 2006, 7:42 am: There is no "ok" age to have sex because its different for everyone. Some girls feel comfortable having sex at 12 and some at 20. I strongly suggest since she is only 14 that she doesnt have sex. She might be ready for sex but youre right, rushing too quick into sex is bad. I also suggest not having sex because theyre on and off as a couple, which isnt very good. She needs to consider if she really wants to do this or if shes just doing it to keep her boyfriend around. Remind her that there is a lot to do with sex besides just loving someone and being ready:
Elcee answered Monday July 3 2006, 6:28 am: Okay, 14 is really far too young to be thinking about having sex. It is illegal to begin with. At that age she has neither the maturity to cope with all the emotional baggage that it brings, or how the physical side of this will change her as a person.
She will certainly get a reputation as a girl who will "give it" to any guy if she starts to sleep around. As a couple, having an on/off relationship is a complete disaster for a meaningful sex life together.
Everybody is different and for some, having a sex life at the legal age of 16 is right for them, whereas others do not feel ready to go that far until they are that much older. There is no 'right' time that is standard across the board because we all mature at different rates.
You have to be a strong friend for her and tell that she needs to do a lot of growing up before it is okay to start a sex life.
Healthwise - she needs to know about HIV/AIDs/STDs and all those nasty little things that she can pick up from having sex without protection. Most importantly of all she is risking her early years by dicing with the chance that she may fall pregnant. She really needs to listen to you explain to her how silly it would be to start something now that she may well live to regret.
Once she has given her virginity to someone it can never be taken back. She needs to realise that casual sex is never as fulfilling as sex with someone that she has a deep and meaningful relationship with. [ Elcee's advice column | Ask Elcee A Question ]
