How old were you when you first had sex?

Good for you.. I was never really into dating or anything either when I was younger but for some dumb reason i still found a way to have sex for the first time .. and i think I was too young.

18

I was seventeen...and BOY do I wish I had waited sometimes. It wasn't awkward - we hadn't been dating that long but we got pretty serious really fast, emotionally at least, and he knew what he was doing. It was quite nice. But I thought he was "the one" (yay for cornyness) and he didn't...so. Anybody who hasn't yet, I'm pretty jealous.

Funny how many girls and some guys are trying to redeem themselves by making all the excuses. How they wish they had waited or thought that the guy was "the one". Waited? Why? To lose it to the second guy you thought was "the one" only to find out that he wasn't it, again? Or third? If you wished to wait till marriage, you would have. So enough of the "I wish i waited". Losing it doesn't make you a bad person. So don't try to make yourself look better by making all those unnecessary excuses.

Hmm. I wasn't saying it because I think it makes me look like a better person. I don't have any regrets about the first time I had sex. I was/am in love with him, and at the time he had strong feelings for me too. I just think it happened too fast into our relationship, and I wish we had waited a bit longer. That's all.

And what would waiting do for you? That's my question.

It will make it easier to fully give yourself to one person.. each partner takes a part of you .. no matter how much you think it doesn't effect you. Truth be known, how you are with one person makes how you will be with another.. there is less baggage with less partners. To wait for someone who seems like the right one.. makes this easier when its time to settle down.

I guess i was just trying to say that if you REALLY wanted to wait, you would. So there is really no point in looking back at that. I mean, how many people do you know that met "the one" at 17? Or how many relationships that started in HS made it happily through life? So, did you really want to wait at that age?

I have met people who were married in or straight out of high school.. and all but one went well.. The one that didn't, married because of a baby.

I have seen those relationships, though a lot of work.. I could only wish for that type of love. And yeah.. I think most girls wish for the "happily ever after" It seems to be only the ones who gets hit with a horrible reality or are raised in a family of some kind of division that really don't.

Honestly, I think that if we had waited our relationship would have lasted longer. We rushed the whole thing, so our break-up was rushed too. If it had progressed at a slower pace, I think we might have had a chance. And I agree with azgirl - I'm a hopeless romantic, and I WANT to meet "the one" at seventeen. My neighbours are sixty and have been together since the seventh grade. That's what I want - I just haven't been that lucky.

back in the old days people tried a lot harder to make it work, persevering through anything, and most senior couples I see are happy together

nowadays the divorce rate is what, like 50%? ppl give up way too easily

but anyways this is drifting off-topic

Dios mio - if I was still with my girlfriend from when I was seventeen, one of us would be dead...

Let's not romanticise the good ol' days, marriage has largely been a sham from its inception.

Sure, back then people married for practical reasons, it was a different type of love they developed, im not at all saying those times were perfect. Nowadays though most people are way too romantic, thanks to all these movies etc. everyone is looking for 'the one', and when they're in a relationship and their partner fucks up in one way or another, then they must not be 'the one', since 'the one' is perfect. I'm personally not vouching for either one of the extremes, but for the balance somewhere in the middle, find somebody who makes you happy, who you love, and don't discard them at the first bump in the road.

This ofcourse is me trying to be objective, I've never been in a serious relationship, I'll probably end up a huge hypocrite .

I am 13 and have not had sex yet. What is the average age? I have had the opportunity but I am too nervous lol.

Not 13 thats for sure! I would say the average age for a guy is 19 ish

I would say if you are not willing to have a baby anytime soon.. don't do it.. NOT that you will get pregnant but come on accidents happen and if you think about it.. if you are not old enough to take care of a baby you are not old enough for the responsibility to have sex. If you read any of this rushing into this kind of thing can really ruin things because once you have it .. it changes everything.

Just had my first time October, last year. Three months before my 17th birthday. And I got into a lot of trouble for it, 'cause mom found out.

I was 12 and he was 22. I was with him for 11 years and never cheated. Needless to say I haven't been with very many people. Most women my age who are single seem to go crazy. I'm the total opposite.
