how long should you wait before having sex with your partner?

Wait 20 years before you take that step

I was 15 when my boyfriend and I started...fooling around. I'm 16 now. I loved him more than anything, I still do. We had only been together about three months when we first started doing "things" but I still haven't had sex with him and its been 9 months. I sometimes think even though I love him, I should have waited a little longer. My advice...since I know not to say "don't do it." You will anyway....is to try foreplay first, if you haven't already. Don't go straight into sex...get to know each other a bit first physically. You'll know when you're ready to go all the way.

And by the way...condoms are rubber things to put over the guys penis so you don't get pregnant or STDs. If you're planning on having sex...get educated on these things. Sex is more than just "coming together as one."

Hey, I'm 16 so I'm not going to go all parental sounding on you lol. But it's really a great idea to wait. I mean I know no one likes to hear it but people don't stay together forever...it's just how life is. You don't wanna do something you'll regret later, especially anythign sexual. Trust me, it's horrible and it'll be in the back of your mind for a long time.

Honestly, I do think it's too soon. You've almost made it a year without doing it so why not wait longer? If he really loves you he'll be fine with waiting no matter how long.

& if you do decide to use a condom! & try to get on birth control because they do break...who wants to be a mom at 15 right.

Okay there is no time limit. But there are rules. Make sure you both love eachother very much, and sex is a precious and beautiful thing. 15 is kind of young in my opinion. Think of the risks too.

Anything can happen. My advice is to just wait.

Be patient, and if you want to wait and he doesn't respect that.. He is plain BS.

AND IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT CONDOMS ARE YOU SHOULD DEFIANTLY NOT BE HAVING SEX.

There can be alot of bad and/or good consequences from having sex with a boyfriend..........std's on the bad end and a loving relationship on the good end (I suppose you should think about if you want to stay with this person from here on out).....too many young people are having sex just to have sex............it depends on you, what your thoughts and morals are and how you would feel afterwards, like , if you guys broke up, would you be mad at yourself for giving yourself to him in total trust.........are you the type of person that would go against your own morals just to please someone elses ideals?? Sex sells, that is why we see it in movie after movie, its always been taboo for young people and so lots of young people do it to get back at mom or dad or to be like other kids at school who brag about it........I know from have being a teen myself years ago and studies that most girls do not even have a climax for the first time to many times after.....only after she is comfortable enough and her partner is willing to take time does that happen, but so many young girls will have sex just to keep up with others around her. I hope this helps you, take care!!

I was going to write that if you want to have sex go ahead but if you don't know what condoms are you cant be old enough or mature enough to have sex. Condoms go on the guys penis to prevent pregnancy and STDs such as AIDS

Whatever your Choice is, always use a condom and if you

think that you and your boyfriend are going to be doing it often

then i would suggest you to get on the pill.

[[The pill if a safer method for you not to get pregnant]]

if you don't know what a condom is, you should NOT be having sex! Go to wikipedia.org and type in condom, that will tell you. 15 is too young anyway.

Make sure you use condoms. Fifteen is probably old enough. I think you're a year or two too young, but you're going to do it anyways.

Condoms!!!

Ideally you should wait until you're 16. And then whenever you feel ready for it, and when it feels right.

and surely you know what condoms are. type it in on google. and that'll tlel you what they are.
