Ok...I'm 16 years old and i have a boyfriend. Is it possible to just not be ready for sex at 16? A lot of my friends have had sex, and done oral sex...but i just dont feel ready for any of that...and i have no desire to do any of that. Is that normal? I feel like by 16 i should be ready (not necessarily be willing) but at least be ready, and to want, to do those things.

You don't have to do anything until your comfortable with it. So don't worry, your not a freak or anything. It's normal, and can acuttally be ca good thing..

Everybody is different and everyone has different views on the subject. Don't let anyone pressure you into doing something you're not ready for. When you have sex for the first time it should be special, and with someone you love.

Some would actually say that it's more mature to wait until you're ready than to be like those little 13 year old girls who are giving their "boyfriends" blow jobs because all of their equally immature friends are doing it.

At one point you will feel ready, but remember, you are still young. Don't look toward your peers as a basis of what you should or shouldn't do. In the end, who matters more, you or them? I know what kind of pressure there is out there, but don't worry about trying to do what you think everyone is doing. Follow your own heart, and your own judgement. Only you know what you're ready for. It's completely normal, and desirable for you not to want to jump into conclusions. I know you may hate hearing this, but you're 16, and still figuring yourself out. People who do things like that at 14, 15, even 16 or 17...are not necessarily emotionally mature to do this. YOU, my dear, are mature enough to realize what is right for you! Good for you!! Hey, follow your heart. You will know when you are ready and willing to do this, or anything else.
