When they are in Love , of legal age, and feel ready without any pressure
-
when the time is right its a personel choice. i wouldnt do it to just get it over with, love is patient, love is kind, and never hurried.
-
At right age (physically and emotionally), when they love someone that much.
-
Hmm... I dont like the thought of losing things- esp. virginity. Kinda makes the person absent minded, and your virginity is not something to absent mindedly leave somewhere. Its interesting to me- peeps will find the best surgeon to perform an invasive operation, but will go home with almost any Joe Blow and give them access to very sensitive areas. Consider you virginity like your eye. You gonna let just anyone perform Lasik on you?
-
The best approach to this issue is to usually wait until you are in a long-term, committed relationship or in a married status, because as old as it sounds, abstinence is the best practice against STDs and various forms of AIDs. Therefore having a partner who is really committed to you emotionally will drastically reduce your chances of getting the diseases, as well as not leave trauma behind for both of you, unlike a scenario in which you perform a "one night stand".
-
When they're ready. And over 15. I just don't see ANYONE REALLY being ready before then.
-
when they are ready for commitment.
-
There is no such thing. If you're asking, then it's just not time for you. When you're ready, with the right person, you'll know. You won't have to ask to know.
-
It's whatever age you are after you get married.
-
If your virginity is too tight, that's when you're ready. Loosen it.
-
well whenever its legal
-
17 is the legal age where i live
-
There is no "should". Wait until you are ready and not a moment before. Also see: # http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/148809 # http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/161995
-
If you have to ask....WAIT.
-
whatever age u get married
-
No set age but when it feels right for both, and you are both responsible enough to deal with sexual health,emotional and family planning issues.
-
sometimes you have a choice and other times you don't.... kids get raped and molested all the time.... for many, it's much earlier than it should be.
-
You and only you will know the answer to that. Believe it or not you will know when the time is right. I wish for you the ability to wait til you know where your heart is and where their heart is before you jump into it. Go with your eyes open dear!! And in the event it is when you get married your spouce will greatly respect you.
-
I don't think there's a specific age, just a matter of maturity level and finding the right partner, and being mature enough to find the right partner for your first time. Don't be in a hurry to "get rid of" your virginity. I know the feeling, but there is no set age for when you should do it. It is perfectly okay to wait until you meet a person who really rings your bell and who will be patient and respectful of you. If this doesn't happen until you're older, you'll be glad you waited. You also want to be really comfortable with yourself and be armed with the knowledge of how to protect yourself from pregnancy and from STDs. You are not ready to lose your virginity until you have done both of these things.
-
You should be whatever age you are when you are ready to begin having sexual intercourse. Doesn't matter if you are 14 or 40 or if you never have sex. Just don't be pressured into something YOU don't believe you are ready for.
-
boys 15, girls 17
-
15, and no (but then again I am a bloke so it was nice to get it out of the way!)
-
My wedding night so I certainly don't regret it. It was a perfect wedding gift to each other.
-
Not really... I was 14.
-
17 and I didn't regret it. I wouldn't want to relive it because it wasn't this great experience that my friends made it out to be, but I didn't regret it.
-
I didn't lose it. I know exactly where it went, and deliberately discarded it. I was 15. I do not regret having sex for the first time.
-
virgin
-
I was 15 and no I do not regret it. It was my first love and we waited until the right time, which I advise everyone to do.
-
15, and I didnt regret it but I wouldnt want to relive it again not with that person again. Although he still loves me and we still talk its just to complicated, but he was my first love and we stayed together for months.
-
On their honeymoon.
-
14 an no i dont regret it i think it turned me in to the person i am today. my fiance loves it but im addicted to sex what can i say.
-
I was 15 years old. I regret it. I felt that if I would've kept it longer, I would've had better relationships.
-
when they are in love and truly care about each other! sex is meant for adults who are married needless to say this day its for anyone at any age but it depends on the people involved and if they are ready for it its a two way street.
-
14. No I don;t. It's far from my fondest memory, but it's done now.
-
I was 15, I kinda regret doing with the person i did it with, but it made me a major nympho so I dont regret it that much
-
I was 15 and looking back on it, I don't REGRET it, but I sure would've done things differently back then!
-
i beleive i was 17. i dont regret it entirely, i dont think we were ready for all the crap that it brought along but there are certainly other times i regret far more.
-
I, at seventeen,am still a virgin. If I wasn't I probably would be regretting it, because the county I live in is number one in the country for chlamydia and number three for the syph. I probably will someday sell myself to get out of debt. I can see it in the bleak future.
-
Waiting til marriage
-
15 and yes i do
-
19, and hell yes! I wish it had been a lot sooner!
-
I Was 19. YES I REGRET IT. Probley cause he also had a boyfriend at the time. Also,I did not have an orgasm till I was with the MAN that I married.That made me about...22 I think. I wish I had waited till I married him.
-
17 and very much in love. I don't regret it at all.
-
I was 17 and I deeply regret it.
-
16 I DON T REGRET IT but, I WISH IT MEANT MORE ( I mean the person I was with.)
-
when you are both physically and emotionally ready.
-
When the person in question is old enough and mature enough to know the difference between lust and love. The person needs to know the other party involved well enough to know that they aren't the carrier of any Std's and also mentally capable of handling such instances as unplanned pregancies ..if they aren't, then it's best to wait
-
I don't think that someone should ever lose their virginity. I "lose" my car keys. What we are talking about is different. I think that someone should wait to have their first sexual intercourse/experience until he/she can deal with it emotionally and physically in a responsible manner. This means dealing with STD risk, pregnancy risk, and the context of the sexual activity (don't think that having sex is going to turn a casual relationship into a serious one, for example). If you have problems discussing these issues with your partner, or - worse - giggle/laugh/blush when the issues are brought up, you are not ready. Sex is an intimate act between two people, and you need to handle that act in a way that is ethical towards both yourself and the other person.
-
when you both are ready for the consequences, either its bad or good. beacuse some people have sex because they want to have sex not because they are in love. personally i would only have sex with the person i know i will spend the rest of my life with. i wouldnt give my virginity to someone who'll hurt me. i have to know that right person for a long time. basically when the time is right for you. when you want to & when you know what will come of it.

When they are in Love , of legal age, and feel ready without any pressure .
-
There is no right age, it is when you personally feel you are mature enough to deal with everything that goes along with having sex, such as relationship issues, maybe an unwanted pregnancy ect.
-
when you know the difference between having sex and making love.
-
There is no RIGHT age, but the law says what legal age you are allowed to, so, not before that. And also, you should not throw it away on anyone. You deserve respect and honour. Find someone who will award you that, by wanting to spend their life with you.
-
personally, MY answer to this question that YOU asked is when you are married. this is my opinoin. and thats my final point :)
-
In my teens,it was great,and I don't regret it.
-
I was 16, it was brief and for a couple months later, there was a short period where I did regret it. But it was because other people took it upon themselves to make me feel bad about it, and the guy it happened with was also getting harassed about it, so he didn't want to be around me or help me not feel like shit for fear that people would talk about us even more. Once I got everyone to shut the hell up about me, and the guy apologized for me having to deal with all of it alone, then I had no regrets. If no one had started shit around school about it, then I wouldn't've had them to begin with. I believe the guy was the right guy and I am not ashamed to have been with him, the time was right, and I was ready. I couldn't ask for more than that. It was also the 3rd of July. *shrug*
-
I was 19, I still remember it 21 years later and my only regret now is the guilt I gave myself over it at the time! I could have enjoyed that moment, and the many others for years afterward much more than I did...
-
1987, it was fucking BRILLIANT!!!!!!, and no.
-
14. It was uncomfortable and there was no foreplay. At least he finished quickly! I regret losing it so young, but I don't regret losing it. It was over two years before I tried to have sex again.
-
I was 15. Though I had mad an attempt at 13, I don't technically consider that time though. It's a long story, for another time and place.
-
I was 28, and yes I had PLENTY of oppurtunitie to have sex. I wanted it to be with MR. Right. I am married to "Mr. Right" :) I am so glad I waited.
-
There is not an age for that. It's whenever you feel the right time should be. =)
-
15 for a boy, 17 for a girl.
-
When you are old enough to be able to deal with the consequences of involving sex in a relationship.
-
I don't get why everyone's getting downrated for this one. But I'll try anyway. I think there is no SET age that's "right" for everyone. People are different, and so it's different for everyone. I personally don't think that most people are really ready before they're 15 or 16. Any younger is just a bad idea. And I also don't think people should wait forever. so...between 15 and 20 sounds good to me. I wouldn't have wanted to lose it sooner than 15 and I wouldn't have wanted to wait longer than 20.
-
I feel that there is no right age, but what really matters is that the two people are making the right choice by having sex at the age they choose to do it at. They should be mature enough to deal with everything involved with sex (i.e. before, during, and after), too. But in my personal opinion, it should not be any age that is below a freshman in high school (14/15), because anything before that is not, well, "right" per say. Good Question :)
-
Okay, as a one time youth and now a mother of nearly grown kids, I say this. I've always told my kids that sex is not love nor is love sex. We all get very intense sexual feelings, wants and desires. Sex may happen as a teenager or it may happen later in life and they need to be "prepared" with knowledge and precautions. As a parent I would prefer later in life because later in life (hopefully) their heart is a bit stronger and they are more financially able to handle the potential consequenses in a responsible way.
-
I would say anywhere between 15 and 25 would be OK, if you feel prepared and you are in the right situation. It does also depend on your cultural environment. And some people stay a virgin all their life, even if it is not their zodiac sign.
-
About 14/15, and no.
-
16... nah i dont think so. i honestly dont think i missed or gained either way....
-
17 and not for lack of trying... I dont think the age at which you loose it matters in the grand scheme of things..
-
I was 14. The only thing I would change would be having done it indoors. Sure there was just a sliver of moon so it was nice and dark which is endlessly romantic, but here's the thing; it was December 22, 1979...in Connecticut. For those of you outside the U.S., that's winter time in the Northeastern United States. In short, it was COLD! Probably in the low 30s Fahrenheit. But I was determined (and so was she!)
-
14. No, I wouldn't change it.
-
I was 19 and no i woudnt change it.
-
18, no.
-
Waited till I was married at age 18. Had known my husband for 4 years but waited to be old enough and mature enough to get married. HAve never regretted it one minute. He's the only man I have ever known and discovered the joys of sex with and that is a special gift that no one can take from us.
-
14 no I wouldn't change it but I also wouldn't recommend it either. That was total Russian roulette. Later in life when I actually found real love, my girl seemed to always make me regret it. She was less impressed with my experience than she might have been if we'd lost our innocence together when we were 18, as she did.
-
i was 20 and it was on may 10, 1986 my wedding day he banged me on the carpet of a Hilton Hotel in NJ, it was great
-
15 and yes- wish I had waited till married.
-
I was 17, no I wouldent change it!
-
I was 42. I waited and finally met the man I love above all others. It was definitely worth waiting for. And the look in his eyes when he knew that there had never been another was something I will never forget.
-
I was 17, and I do wish I had waited. It was such a big let-down. I regretted it immediately after, well, actually during it.
-
I was 14 years old and I would not change it.
-
I was 17 and yes I'd change it.
-
You would not believe me if I told you. I count my first successful climax as losing my virginity. If that is so, 11 years old. If you count attempts with penetration but no climax, well, it was a bit younger.

I was 18, and it was in a car. I wouldn't change the age, or the partner - but it may have been nice to have been in a different location. :)
-
It was rather a bother because I was in Ohio and she was in Michigan. The drive was not a nice one. Oh, she made the drive because I have a slight highway hypnosis problem. I am, well, obviously in Michigan now. :)
-
15..I assume this is about losing your virginity?
-
I was 14 and he was 18.
-
Along time ago, did you find it?
-
19
-
lose it straddled in the strong thighs of ur husband.this is the best time.
-
Well you want to know that the person has a commitment to you, and is someone you're willing to sacrifice for. Would they leave you if you got a disease or something, or would you leave her if she got pregnant? It's kind of like a first kiss, you won't forget it. Is this the person you want to remember the rest of your life? Why marriage is a good reason to wait is because you can have sex with one person and then when you get married and have sex with your spouse, you'll still have those memories of that other person.
-
When they get married.
-
Whenever you feel you're ready. Whether it's with someone random or with someone you love.
