There is no rule BUT

I suggest you wait at least untill you are within the legal age for your country;

Do not let anybody force you or convince you to have sex; unless you are willing and ready;

YOU will KNOW when you are READY;

Always do remember that whenever you do decide to have sex;

DO NOT HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX;

the risk for STD's and AIDS as well as unwanted pregnancy is to high.

Best wishes and lots of SMILES.

birdynumnums agony auntThe average age is 18+. The best time would probably be once you are in University.

A female reader, O Connor Ireland +, writes (17 July 2008):

O Connor agony auntthere are no rules or guidelines to follow when it comes to this. it all depends on the individual - whether they are ready, if they are in a relationship, if they are mature enough and responsible enough to start,

when you are ready to commit like that to another person and are going to be for a long time, when you know that you can both be responsible enough to take proper precautions and deal with any consequences...then you are ready. but sex at your age is quite risky as normally ppl your age wouldnt be at the right level of maturity and more often than not wind up hurt, pregnant or panicing cos they werent careful..

A reader, anonymous, writes (17 July 2008):

Like ChiRaven said it varies for many people.But I say that

you should definitely at least wait till you're 18,if not

marriage.Sex is nothing if you're not doing it with someone that you truly care about.Plus you have all these

risks.You propably know what they are.But it would be a

whole lot better if you did it with someone you truly love.

A male reader, ChiRaven United States +, writes (17 July 2008):

ChiRaven agony auntThat's a highly individual decision. I've known people who have started as young as 10 or 11. I've known people who were still virgins in their 30's.

What is right for you depends on a LOT of factors. The biggest one is probably your own level of emotional maturity. Are you ready for the sense of commitment to another person that a sexual relationship implies? If not, then you're not ready to start. Sex is not something that should be undertaken casually. The very best sex comes between two people who are very strongly committed to one another and who are willing to develop the communications needed to make the experience good (and better, and better still) for one another. Believe me, there's nothing better than sex with a partner who is actively working at trying to please you every time.

But that sense of commitment implies a level of permanence that most people are not ready for in their teens. Here and there there are exceptions of course. I know a couple, for example, who started having sex when he was 14 and she was 13. They married and have stayed true to one another for half a century now. But those are BY FAR the exception. For most teens early sex is usually not a good idea.

When are you ready? When you are ready for the commitment and can face the consequences of your actions. Think it over carefully. In the end, only you can decide.

A male reader, saltwater United Kingdom +, writes (17 July 2008):

saltwater agony auntYou start having sex when you find someone who you share a mutual passionate connection with. Then you can start having fulfiling, meaningful sex.

Any other sexual encounter is usually, although not always, worthless.

To answer your question in other words...not anytime soon.

Tigger3165 agony aunti guess it really depends on the situation... however, people have to know that in their early teen years, they tend to get hormonal, and they can confuse some feelings for love, making them do things they will regret later... no body can tell you when its right for you to have sex... i didn't until i was 18, but even so, i regretted it... you just have to wait until the situation is right... i would recommend it being with someone who you REALLY care about, or preferably, love
