i'm a female, 15. and i have some girl friends around my same age that have already lost their virginity. me and my boyfriend almost had sex too but i said no.. but i think the only reason was because i know he's had sex before w/ this other girl and that kind of made me uncomfortable for different reasons. how do i know when i'm completely ready for sex? and how long is a good time to wait to have sex with my boyfriend? and is 15 way to young to lose your virginity? and wow that was a lot of questions :) haha thanks.
Vikki27 answered Wednesday August 2 2006, 12:35 pm: To be totally honest, in my personal opinion, yes, 15 is too young to be having sex. The law states that it is illegal (in most places) to have sex under the age of 16.
However, in addition to this I would have to say that a couple should never have sex unless they are certain they could handle the consequences. Yes, sex is fun but the primary reason humans have sexual intercourse is to reproduce and whatever contraception you use, there is ALWAYS a chance of conceiving. Therefore, my rule of thumb when advising people about what age is suitable or when they should have sex is that it should always be over the age of 16, when you feel comfortable in a relationship and could cope with a baby should a mistake occur.

he's had sex with other girls so he's obviously going to have high expectations for you, and if youre not ready for that than you need to make that clear to him so he doesnt tryto push you further than you are comfortable.
personally i think 15 is too young to have sex but its really not up to me. i think when youre ready, you'll just know it. you wont have any questions and it'll just feel natural, and with all this worring you have it seems that you should wait some more time.

A good time to have sex with your boyfriend is when you both are ready and I wouldn't advise you to have sex with him knowing that nothing further is going to become of you guys as a couple. No to some people 15 isn't to young to lose your virginity to me from experience I really think something like sex should definatly wait until an older age where you can know for sure if you are ready and except some of the consequences that may follow. In my opion I think you should wait because you sound to unsure right now and you don't want to end up regreting your first time.
If you feel you are ready, here is a site that will answer a lot of your questions. It is also a great source of info on birth control and lots of teen questions on sex and health. :)
ineedadvice answered Wednesday August 2 2006, 5:10 am: Hey! Did you know the legal age to have sex is 18? && to know when you're completely ready to have sex is when you're not questioning yourself 'am i ready to lose my virginity at such a young age?' I suggest you wait until you are 100% ready and you're not questioning. But if you do decide to have sex, remember to ALWAYS wear protection. And also, ask your friends how they feel about not being virgins. Do they regret that they gave their bodies at such a young age? Are they still with the person they had sex with? Talk to them about it, they'll help you out. <3 Hope I helped! [ ineedadvice's advice column | Ask ineedadvice A Question ]
caramella answered Wednesday August 2 2006, 5:06 am: I think it is young because at your age your personality is still being built and something like this could affect you and you can regret it later and even feel depressed that youve even had sex.I think you should wait till youre older and think about the consenquences to everything,Make sure when you ever do it with a guy thats done it before to use protection because you wont be able to stand the fact that you have STD's.
