Remember only lose your virginity when you are ready and don't feel presurised into doing it earlier than you wanted to. Also remember when you do decide you want to have sex for the first time remember to be safe and protected.

 Hey sweetness,
I was 19 when I lost my virginity. When I was 14 I had SWORE to myself that I would lose my virginity by the age of 16. 16 rolled around, and all though I had had my opportunities, I just couldn't talk myself into doing it. In fact, all though I had kissed a plethora of guys, I really hadn't gone much further than 2nd base (all though all my friends thought I had).
I decided to concentrate on school and theater and having fun with my girls, and making out with guys until the right guy came around. And eventually he did. I had to move across the country to find him, but he just showed up in my life and I knew. It felt right. I wasn't nervous, things just happened and eventually I ended up losing my virginity to him.
You know, health class and my Mom had always said that sex was this "emotional and magical" thing... I always thought that was just old lady talk. That is, until I actually did it. It was really special (for me), and I'm not going to lie. I totally cried when it was done. (That's really embaressing to add in, but you asked.)
I'm still with that guy now, and I'm still very happy with him. He makes me feel special and beautiful and comfortable every day we're together. I was so glad that I had waited, and hey - in high school I had a BLAST hanging out with my friends, making out with boys and not having to think about sex. I was too busy having fun and working hard.
Alright girl.
I hope your first time is as special as mine and all the others who posted on here.
xxIndia

 There is no 'right age' to lose you virginity. However long it takes you to feel ready is the right time. I was 16 but wished i had waited until i was 17 when i met my bfriend who i am with now. But you cant turn back time...remember that! Dont rush...then you wont regret!!! xxxxx

 At the time I lost it I had just turned 19. I had low self esteem and a guy who had been my friend for 3 years was my first lover. I use the term lover here because even before the first time we kissed (my first kiss btw) I knew we could have no relationship as he was in love with someone else and I didn't love him.
For me it was a matter of being curious and wanting to try things out. It had no emotional relevance. He didn't particularly seem to care about me being a virgin either as he had had a lot of sexual relationships before, for him it was just a bit of sex.
Half a year later I met someone I really loved and when we made love it was totally different from what I had previously experienced. So to me, the first time I made love (as opposed to just having sex), was more important to me than the time I lost my virginity.
I once asked my boyfriend afterwards if it mattered to him that I wasn't a virgin. He told me that it would have been nice, but really it wasn't very important to him at all.

i had a good number of boyfriends, but i waited until i was 19 years old. i chose to lose mine because it felt so right with the person that i chose to lose it to. there was no pressure. i just decided on my own that i wanted to do it. it was my own choice.
that night was a very special night. i still remember it 'til this day. the date, details & all. i don't regret it at all.
there is no need to rush. you'll know when you get there :]

Although, he wasnt a virgin, it is worth having someone who cares so much for you. A guy who really loves you would wait until your ready! It was so romantic (although it was a bit painful) I have always thought of it as something special, and we are still together 2 years later!

reader, anonymous, writes (6 February 2007): Virginity is important for some girls, but for some it isn't. I valued mine because I like to think of everything I do for the first time as the ONLY time it will be my first. I lost my virginity when I was 15, under no pressure. I chose for MYSELF to lose it, and who to lose it to. I waited until I was with my boyfriend for several months before becoming more physically intimate with him. Sure, we fooled around, but I don't consider that losing my virginity. I consider losing virginity as anal or vaginal sex.
And of course, as you and everyone should, we used spermicidal condoms. And we took our time. It's not something you can rush. Trust me, rushing does NOT help the situation. Just makes it more messy and unsafe. Relax, get to know your partner for several, several months (or until you feel COMPLETELY comfortable, and COMPLETELY ready).
Remember, you only get one virginity. Use it well.

 i dated my first b/f all four years of high school, and he waited untill after we had graduated to have sex because that is what i wanted (thus, around 18 or 19). We still did oral (and thus both got verrrrry good at it) and kissed, hugged, cuddled, etc. though sex is often important in relationships, it should never be all a relationship is about. If a guy is willing to wait untill you are ready, then hes NOT the type of guy you really want to date. Anyone who truley loves and respects you will be willing to wait however long it is (4 years for my poor guy!), and though a complant might happen here and there, they would never try to manipulate you (i'll leave you if you don't!), try to force you (thus, rape), or cheat on you. As said, we did do oral, but only untill we were both comfertable with the idea, etc. Don't get me wrong... i didn't wait that long to have sex because i was scared or didn't love him, i did it because i'm an extremly horney person and had to see if i could wait, because i knew if i couldn't i wouldn't beable to respect myself ever again, esspically since being in high school i saw so many people who treated relationships so materilisticaly (oh, its our 2 month anerversory! ...and... oh i dated this guy last week, and this other one now.. etc etc... and heard guys seem so crude and disrepectfull only careing about sex), and i knew i never wanted to be like that. If i have a relationship, i want it to be real and meaningfull, and if i have sex, i want it to be with someone i truley love and who i know for sure loves me as well. it's a bit funny though (since everyone thinks guys are the ultra horney ones who can only think with one head at a time) because there were many times when he reminded me of what i had said when i was all horney and ready to go! Of course, we were eachother's firsts (b/f and g/f as well as sexual partners) so i don't know how someone who had been very sexual would feel about suddenly not being sexual, but either way, a person who truley loves you will wait... and in fact... for young girls this is the best way to see if a guy is good or not. I am so happy we waited untill our relationship was already so extremly strong and our love real, as well as mature enough to handle it all, before haveing sex. It was a wonderfull experince because of this, and i actually wasn't in any pain at all. It was loveing and romantic, and though we aren't dateing any longer (its been 4 years or so) we are still good friends and happy we shared and learned our sexuality together.
Overall though, it's my strong belife that people shouldn't have sex untill they are fully ready, and are also prepared to face any and all consequences responisbly, such as stds or pregnancys (weither you use a condom or not!).
and don't worry.... if you ever did want to lose your virginity just so you aren't a virgen (which there is nothing at all wrong about! and in fact is something seen with great respect and deserible in many ethnic groups and religions and societys... and since you live in england, isn't it true the person who dates/marrys the prince/a king has to be a virgen?), since you are a female, it will always be extremly easy to lose it. The pussy controls all! You'd beable to easily find a guy to just have sex with if thats all you wanted.

 Some people lose their virginity earlier than others, there is no special age to become sexually active. It all really depends on the individual. The main thing is to be sensible about it. It's against the law for one thing for a girl to sleep with anyone before she's 16 years old so I would definitely not even think about it until you reach this age.
Always make sure and use contraception and make sure your partner wears a condom, don't rely on the withdrawal method or anything else that doesn't keep you safe. Don't give it away too freely either, there's no shame in being in your twenties and still being a virgin, it's a personal thing and something that should only be shared with someone you can trust and really care about.

 i totally agree with CD (which btw those are my initials)
i am 16
and i just lost mine a month ago-ish
we had wanted to for so long
but it was really worth it to wait
and even now to me 16 seems too young
but i AM in love and with the person i want to be with forever
if you do it too young
you get all overwhelmed and nervous
but if you wait until you're with the right person and with someone you love
itll be as relaxed and unnervewracking as it can be
hope it helpsss

the thing you should remember is many kids your age lie about it to look good, which is stupid as it just helps the circle of pressure on everyone to lose it.
sex isnt a game or just for fun, its a serious thing, your sharing your body and an intimate moment with another person, do it with someone you know you love, who loves you back.. and i mean proper love, whos been with you and supported you and waited till your ready.
sex early caries risks, teenage pregnancy, deseases (if unprotected) and cervical cancer.
be sensible, take pride in yourself, and wait for the right man to come along when your older.

 Virginity is important. When I was your age I was desperate to lose it as fast as I can but I'm glad I waited until I was 17 (which is still the average age for people to lose their virginity in the UK) and that I was with someone I loved. Sex has consequences and I'm not sure you can properly understand them until you're older and you know what love means. I rally wouldn't rush your first time. You're so young and there's no rush but if you do decide to go ahead anytime soon make sure you visit your doctor for contraception advice in advance.
