I was 18, and regret it immensely. Wasn't ready for the emotional damages sex can create.
MAK, 19

I was 19. Today this would seem kind of late to some teens, but I don't think age matters. When it happens it happens...don't ever force it.

I lost mine at 15. But I was with my boyfried for about 2 years. Everyone knows that if you have a bf for that long in these days, that you guys will do stuff. Honestly, I don't think age matters as long as you do it with someone you care for, & there's the same feeling back.
Hope I helped.

i never lost my virginity but i think the appropiate age to lose your virginity is 18 or 19.

I was 17...
If you are looking for an appropriate age to have sex, there isn't one. Do it when you're ready and with someone who you think deserves to be the one you give it up to. Also for next time, It would be advisable to leave a little more information on your part like age and sex.

14.
I was 14 when I lost my virginity to a guy that I thought cared about me.
I wasn't ready to be pregnant. (thankfully, I never became pregnant)
I wasn't ready to care for an infant though.
I wasn't ready to drop everything in my entire world to make sure I could give another life as much as they deserved.
I wouldn't have been ready to handle the way a STD would have affected my health. (Heck, I wouldn't be able to tell my mom I needed to see a doctor about it--I couldn't even tell her I was having sex!)
I wasn't ready for the emotional drama that started after I had sex.
I wasn't ready to be cheated on and left.
At 14, I couldn't list most of the STDs out there--or even percentages of people with this-that-or-the-other.
I didn't know that virgins could have STDs.
I didn't know that the 99.9% effectiveness of birth control wasn't really true--because that is for "perfect usage" and we're not perfect.
I didn't know that condoms don't protect against STDs AT ALL.
I sure enough didn't know that sex could mess with my emotional development as much as it did.
At 14, I thought I could handle it all. At 14, I thought I knew what there was to know. At 14, I thought things were safe in the sexual department and that I had things figured out to where I would always be happy.
I wasn't physically, mentally, or emotionally ready to be having sex. At 14, I don't think anyone can actually be prepared for sex.
I'm 22 now and I know a lot of things I didn't know back then though. I've been hurt. I've been cheated on. I've been used for sex. I look back now and am completely ashamed of myself for giving in to my hormones and for believing that sex was forming a strong, unbreakable bond between my partner at the time and myself. If I could go back and change it, I would. I would say, "No, it's not time..." that night and wait it out. I would be a lot happier than I am now.
I can't tell my future children about how special my virginity was to me because I practically threw it away. I can't lead by example in that department. I can't be a role model to my little sister and tell her to say, "NO!" like her big sister did to boys when they pressured--because I didn't. I don't have a special thing to share with my future husband on our wedding night and, to top that off, wearing a white gown at my wedding will be a lie.
If you're under 21 and thinking about having sex, please wait. Your body isn't even matured enough to handle a pregnancy in whole. You're still finding yourself in the world. Things around you are still fairly unstable (long-term workplace? long-term housing environment? medical coverage? life-long partner?). Give it some more time. It isn't like it's going to run away, you know? It doesn't even make sense why we're in such a hurry now...
At 14 I didn't know I would regret something so much.
If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me! :)
