This question is really not as difficult as one may think in the beginning. It sounds as if it is complicated to figure out when the best time is for a person; however, it is very simple.
When you are prepared emotionally, physically, and financial to have children then it is the right time to engage in sexual activities. Children can be accidents, birth control is not always effective, and it's best to be completely prepared. A parent-to-be needs to make major decisions while being stable enough to handle the worst. You should be able to answer some questions like:
1. What if the baby has a defect--physical and/or mental?
2. What if I lose my current job? How will I support myself and another being?
3. Am I in a stable environment? Will I have a safe place to come home to with my child?
4. Who would tend to my child while I work to support the family? Who can I trust this well?
5. If I am a woman, can I my body handle being depleted of vital nutrients? Am I in good health? OR--Is my partner in good health? Can my partner's body handle carrying a child to full-term safely?
6. In a few years, will I be able to start answering a child's question about life, sex, drugs, and even responsibility? How would I handle this?
7. If my partner decides to abandon me, becomes extremely ill, or passes away will I be able to cope and remain stable for the sake of the child in question?
Personally, I know many people who became impregnated the same night they lost their virginity. Some were on birth control even so that alone shows the ineffectiveness of it. Some were prepared for such things and some were completely lost and had to scrap their entire life-plans to raise another being.
Personally, I'd like to be prepared so that I could give my offspring the best chance at life possible. I wouldn't want to raise a child that wasn't capable of making it in life because I wasn't ready to put down my life for his/hers.
When you are prepared for the worst and know that with your mate you will get through it together. Many people contract STDs/STIs on their first encounter from a partner that was simply unaware that they were a carrier. Many virgins have STDs from their parents and were never taught that the symptoms they experience are not healthy.
You need to be as educated as possible before engaging in sex. This means knowing all of your facts--good and bad. Many people like to pretend that they are not at risks for STDs and then when they are diagnosed they are confused, lost, and completely uninformed. If they had been responsible and researched beforehand they would have been able to cope a lot easier.
Many people now leave their partners for silly reasons. They may leave the person with all of the burden and responsibility. The person may have contracted an STD from an unfaithful partner that they will now have to live with and inform other possible partners about (embarrassing). They may have to rear a child completely on their own because of the selfishness of their past mate. Many people are in such a hurry now that they don't take the time to figure out if their partner is true and loving to them, and so they rush into things entirely too fast and get caught into a horrible mess.
To help you out some, here are a few links you should definately check out while giving this thought:

In short, it's right to have sex when you are prepared in every way possible--there is no way too label a specific age for this. Think about all of the possibilities--good and bad--to having sexual relations and answer them all honestly. Some people will reach this stage at age 21, some people won't reach this age until 35.
I hope I've helped educate you on this and you'll be able to make the right decisions in life. If you have any more questions regarding this matter, please feel free to ask me :)

Well whenever you feel like it is a good time. No one can tell you when to have it. But remember who your partner is and think a little more about it. Especially if it is only your first time. k? GOOD LUCK!!!

When and only when you are mentally and emotionally ready and have thought it out. Also, it's when you are SURE this is the right person and have taken all the precautions to avoid unwanted pregnancy.
While it's best to be an adult nobody can stop you from it but only make you think. 14-years-old is way too young in my opinion to be thinking about it. It's a BIG decision and not one that should be made hastily or allowed to just happen. Planning is being responsible. You can't do any less than that.
It's only a small percentage a physical act but if you don't have body, mind, and spirit involved it's downright meaningless whether it's the first or 9 millionth time. Use your head and you'll be fine. Nothing wrong with waiting.
It's about being fully ready and knowing if you aren't. It's not a race and age has nothing to do with what you really need: maturity and responsibility.
