Lauren.. agony auntI think the right time to have sex, is always when you are both of legal age, and also when you are both ready to have sex.

The fact that you are questioning whether or not to have sex with your girlfriend, suggests that you may not be ready. If you feel that you are and that your girlfriend is ready also, then i feel that you should do what you both think is best.

Just make sure you use contraception and that you are both ready.

Good Luck

DoubleM agony auntThe right time would be when you are of legal age where you live, when you are mature enough to appreciate and be personally and financially responsible for your actions and the potential results, and when you really care about the partner and their well-being - as a start. A reasonably good education about everything to do with human sexuality and reproduction would be highly advisable.

The answer from "pvtguy" is a good start! You should also be old enough to understand and respect the mental and emotional aspects of sex, both for yourself and for your partner.

confessjess agony auntIf you are both at a legal age than it comes down to when you are both comfortable and have taken correct precautions and understand the risks involved in doing so.

The average age in the UK is 16, so you're plenty old enough if you feel you're ready.

Make sure to use a condom and be safe :)
