I would have to say 18 at the youngest, personally. However, in some states the age of consent is 17.
I feel like until you are legally an adult, you really shouldn't be having sex. For some people it should be even older. It all depends upon the maturity level of the person. But, either way, until you can legally consent, you are just asking for trouble, should I would wait. However, this is just my opinion.

I agree with the others. Youngest 17-18.
I think because at those ages, they know the consequences of sex. As long as the two trust each other, take precautions with birth control and condoms, and are emotionally ready for sex.
It's always better to wait till you're older because a lot of young people don't take the precautions. A lot of young people will end up pregnant because they didn't get on birth control and use condoms.

I feel exactly as adviceman does and would give the same ages, 16-18.
Most the time, it is when hormones start flowing that kids start to feel the urge for release and for some, hormones start at 9 or 10 but a good majority are at 12 to 14. This is a time to get familiar with yourself and sexuality by masturbating, or for girls using a vibrator if they dont feel too embarassed to ask the parents to purchase one for them.
Often the case tho is not wanting sex but wanting to spend time in the company of the opposite sex, someone who you want to be friends with and perhaps enjoy handholding and occasional kisses. If this is a concern in your situation, I told my 3 daughters that if they had any male school friends who wanted them to be his girlfriend or date her, that I wouldn't allow dating per se, but he was welcome to come over to our house when we were at home and her bedroom door must remain open. Not a single guy took up any daughter on that offer because they didn't really care about the daughters, only wanted sex.
Another reason it is good to wait to have sex is that with every year you grow older, your mind is still maturing and its more likely you'd make better decisions in later teens than when younger. However the average age the pre frontal cortex portion of brain responsible for good decision making is done growing is 25. So even at 16-18, many teens are not yet able to make good decisions. If you aren't able to be prepared with birth control AND condoms, basiclly, a person is not yet mature enough mentally to have sex. Being physically mature isn't good enough.

This is a very good question. Unfortunately it does not have a simple answer for it is not something that is linked to a chronological age. Sex has more to do with maturity than age though maturity does come with age. A bit confusing I will say and it is also different for everyone. It is also different for boy then it is for girls.
As a parent and grandparent I'm suppose to tell you that sex is suppose to wait until you are married. TO do so would be hypocritical of me and most parents and grandparents my age and younger.
What I will tell you is sex is not a sporting event. It is a very intimate thing especially for the female. It is her body that gets invaded or penetrated and it is she that gets pregnant.
Based on everything I have learned in all my years of gaining wisdom on this subject I will offer this advice. You are too young at ages 16 and under, this I know for certain. At ages 16 to 18 if you understand the consequences of sexual intercourse, take the appropriate precautions and are not shamed or shame your partner into consenting; then let your conscience be your guide. Once you 18 you are legally an adult and entitled to a sex life.
I'm more liberal on my views of sex and teenagers than most parents. This is what I told my son and my nieces when it was time to tell them about sex. Take it for what it is worth. Just remember there are alternatives to sex such as masturbation to dampen raging hormones. Contrary to what you may be told masturbation is not wrong and it is even a healthy way to relieve sexual tension.
