Being in one of the craziest college towns in Florida has taught me that college boys often have one thing on their mind, which is sex. If you don't want just random sex, I would make him wait and actually put time and effort into you.
Everyone deserves to be waited on and babied while they are in a relationship. Plus you feel a lot better after if it actually means something. [ ArghhJill's advice column | Ask ArghhJill A Question ]

The age of consent varies depending on where you live. In the US, it is 17 or 18 depending on which state you're in. In Canada and the UK it's 16. You can find out what the age of consent is in the country you live in here: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Regardless, if you don't want to have sex then don't do it. I lost my virginity at 16, which happens to be the legal age of consent for where I live and to be perfectly honest, I wish I'd waited. However, I have friends who lost their virginity before they were 16 who don't regret it at all. And then I have friends who are still virgins at 18 or 19. The age of consent isn't supposed to be the age you HAVE to have sex but the age at which you are deemed legally responsible and mature enough to. When YOU actually feel ready to is your decision.
I'm not one to preach that sex belongs to the confines of a loving relationship but it should at least be with someone who respects you. Tell this guy you aren't ready for sex. If he doesn't respect your decision then he isn't the kind of guy you want to be having sex with anyway. Never let yourself be pressured into anything you don't want to do. It is your right to say no. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
