What age is resonable to have sex?
Im just curious about what age people think would be reasonable.
I know some people who say 14, and i know some people who say not till there late 30's.
What do you think? Thanksx3
Oh.. and please don't say till your married. Its just because thats not a number.. Im looking for an age not a time in your life.

Usually18. 18 is mostly the legal number for a lot of things. Sex isn't illegal, but you are more responsible and mature at that age.

Honestly, there isn't a right age. I honestly think that a reasonable age is right around 18. But there are also drawbacks to that. When your 18 everything is new and you get to explore the world. You have more freedom. And you don't want that to be ruined by the chance of a child your not ready for, or an STD. So really, whenever you feel mature and stable enough to receive the consequences for your actions is the proper age.

To be on the right side of the law I would say at the age of consent
I would like to say that there are some who have the ability to show what they are doing and do it responsibly then there are others that don't
14 but then that would break the law in most places

Old enough:
1. To be physically mature enough to avoid injury.
2. Old enough to make an informed decision.
3. Old enough not to get arrested.
So 18 is probably a decent, middle of the road guideline.

The legal age in most states and countries to have sex is 16. I think that 14 is too young to be having sex and you are not ready to take that step at 14.

17 according to South Park, and it doesn't get more scientific than that :P
Seriously though, it depends on the individual. Some people mature faster than others, and others just want to wait for the right person, and they'll know themselves what the right time for them is.

Well, as long as it's LEGAL in your state. What ever age you find somebody you love, that you want to lose your verginity to. When your ready, I'm not saying you find somebody you love and run to the bedroom! Wait until you're both ready, and always consider the things that might happen. Disease, kids, things like that.

well even though i started having sex at 13,i dont think that its good for you to be that young.i say about 16 or 17 if you are ready and in love...

this is a bad question since everybody will have a different answer, i would think around 25 so you know EXACtly what you will be getting into, you are also most likely on your own at this point, a bit more ready to care for a child should the need arise
