Is fourteen to young to have sex?

In my opinion, YES!!  I don't feel that a 14 year old is mature enough to handle all of the emotional and/or other issues that go along with sexual activity.

14 year olds should not be having sex!! You have barely passed out of the concrete thinking mode, and have no idea what you are getting into, or what the consequences, both long and short term, of having a child. It almost dooms you to a life of poverty. And as a child, you certainly don't have what even most adults lack: Parenting skills!\n\nA 14 year old isn't looking for anything long term, just about 15 minutes is all they are looking for.!!

You should wait to have sex until you are emotionally mature enough to handle the consequences. 12, 13, and 14 are way too young. Get involved with sports or other projects that use your mind and don't be concerned about whether your going to have sex or other people are all "doing it". I waited until I was 23 and made sure the partner loved me. I have no regrets. With the amount of diseases you could catch today, AND the possibility you could become pregnant the FIRST time...do you want to take that chance and throw away a great future?

No! From your grammar, I can tell that you're no more than 8. That is far too young to lose your virginity.

The funny thing is that cultures and countries have been inventing laws about what age is old enough to have sex and what isn't, and who it's okay for people to have sex with and who it isn't for thousands of years, and it really has had little or no effect on what people do.  people do what they want to do.  the only laws regarding sex that serve any purpose are those governing predatory behaviour; if two fourteen year olds have sex it's hard to see how that can be a crime (misguided perhaps, but a criminal offense?), but if a 30-year-old has sex with a 15-year-old, that's just predatory.

In CA, its illegal. My friend is 18 dating a 14 year old. They had sex. It was illegal.

NO!  I lost my virginity just before I turned 14.  Please don't do it, I wish I would have waited.  You have your whole life to have sex and you should share it with someone that truely deserves you.  Don't give yourself to someone who is not worthy of such a beautiful gift.  If you do decide to do it, please, please use a condom and get on birth control.  There are some nasty people out there.

If this is my child, the answer to your question is: You are still too young if you think there is a "right" age. There is only a wrong age that we can be certain about, and that is any age where you would be incapable of taking care of and supporting a child which could result from having sex. As long as you cannot take full responsibility for your actions, you should not take fully responsible actions.

I have met individuals of other cultures who were mature enough at 13.  On the other hand, I know some 40 something year olds who still behave like they should be learning about dating and relationships without the complications of sex.  Personally, I was married 17.  I do not recommend this for most other people.

There is no official legal age.  But you are considered a minor until you are 16, as far as stagatory rape laws are concerned.\nI believe that sex is an intimate act that should occur between two consenting ADULTS.  Children can't handle the reprecussions.

keep your thoughts to yourself.  They are under age!\n14 yr. olds should not be encouraged to be overly sexy and hot.  Leads to trouble.

Depends on how developed she is for 13.  It is a little young to be sexually active, though it was fairly normal behavior for young girls even 150 years ago so I wouldn't think much of it.  \n\nJust play along BUT keep things safe.  Neither one of you is old enough for a real sexual relationship, so just fool around until then.  You sound mature enough to know where the boundaries are.\n\nFunny how many people on here want to pretend they were never 13 and horny as heck all the time.

Yes sweetie it is very likely that it will hurt the first time.  But let me warn you that having sex is a VERY big step to take... and it is one that you can never take back.  At fourteen odds are that even if you and this guy stay together for a while you will eventually break up and having sex brings in a ton of emotional factors that you shouldn't even have to worry about at your age.  I'm not trying to lecture...i'm telling you from experience.  I'm 19 and i had sex when i was 16 for the first time.  I can honestly tell you that, even though sex can be enjoyable with the right person, it is better to wait.  But if you honestly think you are mature enough the handle the consequences...like yeast infections, urinary tract infections, the possible risk of sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy...then please, please be smart about it.  Make sure u use condoms the right way...and yes there is a right way.  Use condoms with spermicide...trojan makes some in a purple box and they will say that they have spermicide on the box.  And please have yourself checked out regularly.  Get on the pill too.  I know it seems like a lot to handle...but sex is a big responsibility as well as a pleasure ...if you don't want to end up pregnant or with an infectious disease.  But really, I will strongly encourage you not to have sex yet.  You are at an age where you should just now be taking interest in boys, not having sex with them.  And if you tell this guy no and he takes it badly then he doesn't care about u anyway.  PLease Please think deeply about this decision before you act.  At fourteen you are not even physically ready to have sex let alone mentally capable of grasping the responsibilities that go with sex.  And if you need any more help with this decision you are welcome to email me at lemonllama05@yahoo.com

Honey, 12 isn't early; I started when I was like 4 or 5!  Children do, if they are not inhibited by adults with puritanical ideas.  There is nothing wrong with it, as long as you do it in private.
