Can we all just move past this topic?! There are at least 20 other boards about this! And it has become clear that most everyone here thinks a person should wait until marriage to have sex. Geeze!!! Personally I don’t agree with this but come on people... everyone is different. *sigh* ...

You should wait until you're married. Most of the time, that is when you are mature enough to handle it. Here's a quote for you to ponder over:

"Would you give away a precious diamond to just anyone on the street? No...well pretend that diamond is your body. You must never give away that diamond until you are sure that the person you give it to will love and cherish it just as much as you do."
~Mae Louise Poole

I agree with the marriage choice. That's when the "sex" is "love" and it's worth it. It's special and intimate. If it "just feels right", that's acting on passion and the moment... and it can cause some serious damage as most of you know. Why would you just want to "give it up" just to give it up? That's like giving away your body like it's nothing.

wow, well I'm probably gonna sound old fashioned to ya, but I think that the right time to have sex is to when your married and with your husband/wife. I mean why have sex before and then worry about all the weird deseases out there and also worry about the "Is he gonna break up with me now?" or "Am I pregnant?"
I'll rather respect my body and wait.

yes well you tell that to all the other girls

If you are mature, you can wait until you are able to financially and emotionally support a child if one should come out of the sex. And, unless you are married, the operative word is THINK as in you "think you are with someone you can trust."

yea, they always produce sperm dont they. my friend got her period when she was eight!

i used to be like most of my friends, a bit of a sex enthusiast. now that some of them have done "it" i really don't care that much. i could wait, i don't want to get pregnate or get an STD. but then i think that if you are mature and think you are with someone you can trust then whenever is fine. married is prob best but most don't wait.

The right time to have sex is when you are married because otherwise the child will be a *******. The baby is going to need a father in its life. You want to be financially stable and mature before you have sex because a pregnancy is a very real possibility. Even with protection.

When your married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ten year old having sex? This is one sick, evil country we're turning into. For the record, there is only one time when it is okay to have sex: When you are married and mature enough to handle it. If you don't have marriage, a steady income, and a home not bother, you will just turn your life into a complete disaster. It isn't even just a religious matter, even if I was an atheist I wouldn't agree with pre-martial sex because it just causes way to many problems and is irresponsible overall. If your having sex before marriage, quit now before you throw your life down the drain, I've seen people as young as 14 finding out they're having a child and its never a happy occasion like a real legitimate pregnancy should be.

But 10 year olds having sex? Ten year old boys? Is that possible?

Yeah, it is. Not very common, but it happens. A few years ago I read in the newspaper about a 7 year old who got pregnant. She had just gotten her period two weeks before. She was raped.

Um, it's right to have sex when you're married and that's the only time!!! Not just because it feels right!

The right time is different for everyone. Me, I plan on waiting for just the right moment when we both know what we want to do and we both understand what could happen. I would definitely want to be in love and I wouldn't want to do it just to 'be good at it' in the future. I mean, I'm a freshman, but if I ever feel like it's time in the near future, I don't think I would hesitate. So it's really up to you. If you feel you're ready, go for it. Make sure you understand what you're doing and just follow your heart.

I plan on losing my virginity this fall,freshmen year b/c it FEELS right 2 me. Not b/c my hormones are ragin... well maybe but it just feels right 2 me!! Some wait til their 15 or 16 and ^ but i dont want 2 wait. Besides i want to be good at it be the time im i a serious relationship

I do not believe in an age limit to have sex. Although, I do believe you should not have sex until you are ready for the possible consequences that come w/ having sex. If people do not follow that simple idea, that is when the problems start. That is when you get teens having abortions or having them just drop their baby off somewhere to die. Secondly you should love the other person. I think as long as you love your partner and are willing to accept what may come of having sex, you have nothing to worry about. And I think the only reason standards may be "dropping" is because it is becoming so common to have sex outside of marriage or in your teens. People consider this almost normal now, which is unfortunate, but I don't know how we can change it....

I don't think you "KNOW" when it's the "right" time to have sex. It seems to me the best way to figure things like this out is to talk to your partner about this stuff a lot, and eventually you'll both feel comfortable with it, and you'll try it.
