    Idk see how it might impact the thread either ^_^ . All I know is that since ur the only celebrity on this thread, if I ask, then people will some how be impacted by it since practicly everyone online worships you, lmao.


    Lmao. And also I was simply curious. None the less though, I see ur point. N besides, I suppose that this thread might some day or may have already had some sort of an awkward affect on some dude or chick who is questioning whether or not to do it, who knows.

    That and also topics like this are always the best kind, since sex is never a boring topic ^_^

    i never knew about this legal age, it's never been brought up to me before. this is complete news to me. but i guess those legal ages are good enough, i'm not comfortable with teenagers having sex but i would rather have teenagers having sex than 13 year olds and below. and i know it's going to happen whether or not there are laws against it but there has to be SOMETHING that can effectivly discourage underage sex

    From analysing the opinions in this thread, it seems the answer is "Whenever".

    The criteria people put down is for both parties to know and understand the events, as well as being emotionally ready for it.

    Therefore the age restriction is not so much about the age, but about a broad generalization on the age the majority are ready.

    Well, I'm not sure but I think the law just prevents legal adults from doing it with minors. Because if they do, it's statitory rape, even if they both consent, and the legal adult goes to jail and I believe is registered as a sex offender.

    Well, I do feel it is kind of 'whenever,' but there is a problem when there's nine-year-olds running around, pregnant. (yes, I'm aware that that is near impossible)

    OMG! I just read about this boy who was 12 years old getting his 14 year old girlfriend pregnant. It made my stomach turn. Kids having kids.

    Depends on your perspective. Kids having kids is only considered unacceptable in our society. If you chose to take another view, it could be argued that because you can naturally have children at that age, it is okay, and not "wrong". Right?

    I think it's a matter of if you are ready to have sex. if you're not, then you don't. (unless you get raped which is a different matter). So yeah.

    I would say that age itself is somewhat a factor as we are developed to be more interested in sex and prepared for it by ages, though there is a gap of a couple years etc. Teens are going to explore but despite the fact that some try to make like they can't resist going all the way, inside they know they could. However, the impression that having sex early is cool gives some people the wrong ideas.

    I would say 15 to 16 is a good age as any and though I feel that teens should wait longer, the reality is that often these are the ages it happens so many places make them the age of consent. Some places make 14 and 13 legitimate ages as long as someone is in your age group, to keep adults from going after children. Of course, this doesn't work that often and men are seen going after 13 to 16 year olds too often. Probably because they can't get laid by anyone their own age and have a thing for 'virgins' and naive little girls.

    Regardless of the age though someone has sex, I think it shouldn't even be -thought- about unless the partners have some form of protection. There are way too many teenage pregnancies because no one thinks of using a condom and two people are messing around and things go too far. Some people feel that having protection means teens are more likely to have sex, but I would be inclined to disagree and even if it were true, at least the chances of pregnancy itself is reduced, as well as the spread of STDs. Teaching teens and kids even before they are teens to think responsibly and letting them know without a doubt if they have intercourse without protection that they can get overwhelmed for it for sometime is critical. We can't stop those who are young from having sex but teaching them early on to regard it as a special thing and on the repercussions is the right thing to do. Then at least when they do have their first times with it, it will be automatic they bring along what they need.

    Basically, we teach kids to 'stop, drop and roll' if you get caught on fire. Teaching kids to 'wrap it before you tap it' also seems like a reasonable thing to do for their protections since parents can't watch them all the time.

    Well...I kinda started messing around when I was 14 (which... I still am till next month lol) but we've never actually gone all the way. BUT. Thing is, we're both girls ^^;;
    I know there's no risk of getting pregnant now, but does that even make up enough of an excuse or anything? Otherwise, my ex-bff had sex with her bf when she was 13...that sounds a little too young to me...

    My best friend did it during the summertime (she was fifteen) and at first, I didn't know what to think of it. I haven't gone very far romantic-wise, and I used to be worried that I was going too slowly. My boyfriend would sometimes get a little impatient, but eh, he's a boy. Now I realize that I have my whole-life ahead of me, and I am most certainly not moving too slowly. I am moving at just the right pace for me, because I know that I'm not ready emotionally, maybe not even physically. I know that if I'm ever unsure of a situation like this, it's most likely a bad idea. I know that I will definitely not be having sex until I am 100% sure that I am ready. As many have already stated, it is an individual choice, but you should definitely be educated on the possible consequences and everything before you go through with it. Honestly, with this kind of thing, you should consider the worst thing that could happen--for example, an STD--because there's always the possibility that it could.

    As for my best friend's choice, she hasn't been scarred by it or anything, so I think it's possible that she might have been ready for it (she's been through a lot in the past), but I'm constantly telling her to be careful. There are many other factors as well, such as who it's with, the stance of your relationship, etc. It shouldn't just be something you do on a whim, it should be something you put a whole lot of thought into. You must realize that it will change you, your partner, your relationship, and maybe even your life if you're not careful.

    Well, I don't think they're is a certain age that is to young. I'm in the 8th grade in middle school, and more than half the people in my grade have had sex. They're only like 13 and 14 years old and that's pretty young to most people, but it all depends on what you believe in I guess.

    I personally don't want to have sex until I'm married. But that's just me. I don't think you should have sex until you've known the person for a few years or so, so obviously, anything under 16-18 years old, is too young.

    I would say anyone under the age of 18 or now a days it should be moved to 21 for so many young females get pregant and don't have the means to take care of the child. It's very sad.

    What's even more sad is that even if it is moved to 21, teens will still be doing it and getting pregnant just because they think sex is 'cool' or whatever.
