i know how you feel ..but honest 12 is too young i felt like that before too..

so i suggest that you should have sex when you are ready and don't rush

also, always remember to have protected sex......

Fiona xxx agony auntYou are way too young, the age of consent is there for a reason. It will feel different when you are 16 or 18, like the real thing rather than a kid playing at an adult's game.

It is natural to be curious.

I am even getting to the point when I don't believe questions like this. Perhaps you have some curiosity and want to gossip at school a bit?

If you thought you were doing right you wouldn't have asked.

There is more peer pressure about sex than anything else, so don't feel the pressure, be an individual. There is plenty of time for all this in a few years time.

It is natural to want to grow up quickly, but save this experience.

Do not have sex with your boy friend at age 12. You may grow up to regret it. It may even bother you someday to the point that you need counseling. If you are horny, just buy a dildo. Besides, dildos can't get you pregnant....

A male reader, anonymous, writes (27 May 2008):

check the laws in your state, but it is quite legal in alot of places (washington for example) basicly if he is around your age it is legal but i PERSONALLY would not advise it as you become socially akward; trust me, when i was that young my girlfriend and i wanted it but we decided backing off was probably best

P.S. use condoms if you do

A female reader, rachhbabes United Kingdom +, writes (3 May 2008):

i think 12 is a little bit too young to be honest. maybe you should wait a bit, until you're both truly ready. your scared and theres probably things that you dont know at your age. there is a bit to be scared about but you'll know when its the right time.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (14 April 2008):

I'm 14 now but I had sex at the age of 12 and it didn't exactly turn out how I imagined it would. Two months after having sex I noticed that I hadn't had a period and I was ill quite a lot. I took a pregnancy test and couldn't believe the result - POSITIVE! After that I did non-stop pregnancy tests. I couldn't face telling my parents so I told my older sister who came with me to a clinic to get an abortion. It effected me emotionally, physically and mentally. It was the worst thing I've ever had to do. From my point of view definitely wait until you are ready and the legal age x :)

A female reader, anonymous, writes (15 March 2008):

im only 12 too and i feel the same way. however, i know that even though i want to, i might not be emotionally or ph6ysically ready- and you might not be either. you should talk to your boyfriend about how you are feeling- you never know, he might be able to help.

but in the end its your choice and you should do what feels right for YOU!!!

good luck

melodaea agony auntNo.

It is illegal, and could permanently damage you and put your boyfriend in jail for statuatory RAPE.

There are reasons there are age limits in place. You really must wait until you are physically and mentally ready for it- I'm sorry if it sounds patronising but it cannot do you any good- you'll only regret it. Tell your boyfriend this, and if he is any sort of decent man he'll understand. I just hope this reply isn't too late.

rcn agony auntYou're too young to be having sex. People talk so much about, being scared, does it hurt, what protection should I use, those are all great questions, but here's one not asked often but the truth. The younger you are having sex, you have a higher chance damaging your reproductive system.

To you that would mean the difference in having kids when you grow up, and not.

I'm a 15 year old and I've had sex already. If you're unsure about it then don't do it.

My main advice is to use protection and make sure you don't do anything you don't want to.

Other than that enjoy it!

auntie donna agony auntNo you shouldn't, it sounds like you're being pressured into it. You should have sex when you're ready, and you may feel you are but ou obviously aren't otherwise youwouldn't be asking people on here whether or not you should. You need to wait until you're 15/17 maybe even older but not yet. Please dont do it to yourself. If you need anymore advice you can contact me directly.

A male reader, duce00 United States +, writes (5 September 2007):

duce00 agony auntI guess the other aunts have pretty well driven the point home for you havnt they? All I can add is that what you are talking about is not really sex. Its known as experimentation. If you want to have sex you will have to wait untill your mind catches up with your body. That being said, you can still get pregnant and catch STDs at 12.

Im sure you hate it when people talk to you like your a kid but we are just trying to steer you right. If you think we are wrong do a little search on underage pregnancy on this site. That should sober up your hormonal rage. There are plenty of posts from young girls who have had to struggle through becoming mothers at a young age. You dont want to become another statistic do you? Theres nothing we can do to stop you but I will say that if the real connection between a man and a woman is what you seek then wait. Your just flirting with disaster untill then.

lildeesbg agony auntMy question to you is WHY do you really want to have sex? Answer that question. Look, when i was younger i hated when older people used to tell me I am too young. But the reality right now is that you are too young to have sex. You have your entire life to engage in sex, why start so young?

I promise you that if you do it now, you will only regret it when you get older.

Deep down you know its not right other wise you wouldnt have such doubts and be so scared. You are very wise to be scared because you dont know how many things can go wrong.

You sould not give away your virginity at this age. If you wait you will be very happy that you did. You will later on learn that virginity is something special to you and when you do this you are wanting to make a commitment and I don't think you are ready to make this kind of choice. You should wait until you're ready to get married. If your boyfriend is pressuring you, dump him. If you need a friend, please email me on here. I am more than happy to help you out!

A female reader, anonymous, writes (4 September 2007):

Of course not. You should not have sex at such a young age. You should save that for marriage anyway. You might want to but you'll regret it later for sure. Do not sucumb to pressure and temptation. At your age I was paying with dolls and was not interested in sex at all, and when I got interested I waited and felt good about waiting. If you do it now chances are greater of becoming pregnant a ruining your life forever. Be happy with your childhood now and enjoy those moments. Sex will only bring problems to your life.
