FiayieEss answered Tuesday February 12 2008, 4:45 pm: OK personally, and no offence, this 'waiting till marriage' thing is bullshit. Why waste out on a good part of life just waiting for the confines of marriage, when you'll never be able to try it with anyone else either?
However don't do it before you're emotionally prepared. Don't do it until you're in a relationship where you can trust your partner or you will be HURT. Fine, if you want to lose your virginity for the sake of losing it and you dont care about a relationship, that is fine, as long as you are ENTIRELY comfortable with it. If you're sensible enough to know its a big step and you should always use protection, if you know the risks but are still willing, then any age is fine as long as you are emotionally ready.
18? Pshaw. If you want to before then, whether legal or not, alot of people aren't waiting. Here in the UK legal sex is at the age of 16 which I find much more practical. Teenagers start getting intense sexual desires at around this age and just before - why wait till 18? thats only my opinion on the US policy. The 18 policy doesn't deter people at all. When people are ready they'll do it.
So any age really. Not something ridiculous like 12,a lthough some people do and we shouldn't think that's a bad thing - its a personal choice.
Remember though, laws are made for a reason. However, I would go with sex. WHATEVER AGE I FELT MOST COMFORTABLE.:)
WittyUsernameHere answered Monday February 11 2008, 5:12 pm: There is no such thing as "an OK age".
Sexuality is individual. Some people are ready at 16, some people arent ready until 30.
Though, as a practical response, if you are asking what an OK age is, you aren't ready yet. Anyone who asks others a question that is something like "do you think I might be ready for sex" isnt ready for it yet. [ WittyUsernameHere's advice column | Ask WittyUsernameHere A Question ]

sognarxo answered Monday February 11 2008, 4:00 pm: Honestly I dont believe there is any "ok" age to lose your virginity. I feel if you are ready and think you can handle it go for it. I was 12 turning 13 when i lost mine. I sort of got adicted to it though so i dont know if its because i started young or its just my problems.
Cherry_Blow_Pop answered Monday February 11 2008, 3:24 pm: At LEAST 18, because by then you are knowledgeable enough to know the risks of sex, which isn't JUST pregnancy or STDs, but other dangerous things like UTIs and HPV.
AgonyAuntM answered Monday February 11 2008, 2:36 pm: Hiya,
Well different people think different ages as some think a really young age is fine the law says 16 some say 20 and some say wait for marriage which i think isn't a bad idea.
Brandi_S answered Monday February 11 2008, 1:48 pm: I don't think there is any specific age, but I think that if a person is responsible enough to make that decision, they should be responsible enough to take care of a kid on their own. Even being cautious, there is always that risk.
They should also be responsible enough to research and educate themselves on STDs.
They should also be responsible enough to ALWAYS practice safe sex by using condoms.
Marizzle answered Monday February 11 2008, 1:36 pm: Tbh most people would say 16-20 but there is NO right or wrong age. There is preferred ages. But its basically on when you feel ready. Dont do it under pressure. You will regret it. Make it worth it.
However old you are, if you wanna do it, do it, but think of the emotional and physical sides of this, and use protection <3Marizzlex [ Marizzle's advice column | Ask Marizzle A Question ]
