Basically, i think that if you have to question whether you are ready or not - more than likely you are not ready.
But if you aren't sure whether either of you are ready you definitely need to talk about it together. If you just assume that he is ready, then you could pressure him or unintentionally pressure yourself kind of into doing something you aren't sure about.

Anyways, if and when you do end up having sex, be safe. For whatever reason, people find sex and everything hard to talk about but its a real issue. The easiest thing to do is use condoms which can protect from pregnancy and STD's. If you are on the pill, STD's are still possible.


Ps. I'm part of a group that specializes in peer education involving sex, etc. so if you have any other questions feel free to ask me!

Depends on how old you are i guess.
If you're sixteen and older than i suppose you can have sex at that age just remember to have protection and check if he has any stds.
Then there's the whole sex after marriage.
Alot of adults would encourage you to do that but that's your decision.

If you don't think you're ready, don't have sex.
and i'm not sure but i'm guessing you know you're ready when you really love him, when you know he's the one you want to be your first. :)

Hope i helped.

Legally, you shouldn't have sex until you've passed the age of consent in your state/country.

Morally, you shouldn't have sex until you're married, or based on when you feel you're morally ready.

Emotionally, you shouldn't have sex until ready to face the consequences of sexual relationships. That is, possible pregnancy, having a child, etc.

Financially, you shouldn't have sex until you're old enough and have enough money to support a possible child.



To me, you shouldn't have sex until you're married, though obviously not everyone lives up to that standard. But definitely DON'T have sex until you're ready, and I mean absolutely ready to face the consequences.

I think if you wait until you're married or at least with the person you will marry and will be with your entire life, it will mean something really special, rather than something to just throw around.
