When do you think is the right age to have sex?

When do you think is the right age to have sex?

[Niamh.]

I suppose it differs from person to person but I would say 16 is too young maybe 18 or 19

[Crimson Dynamo]

21

Sexual intercourse has many serious repercussions and should be treated as serious.

[Tom]

Upon reflection about 18

I started waaaaaay too early

[Stu]

Depends entirely on the person. Plenty of people in their 20's are having children faster than they can handle. What's the average age of a couple on Jeremy Kyle?

Meanwhile plenty of 16 and 17 year olds have sex every weekend without any serious concequences. Good for them.

Works both ways, but that's sort of the point. No right answer to this question.

[Dr.Gonzo]

It'll depend. Whenever said person is emotionally stable enough to handle it.

[Ramsay]

16

[Niamh.]

It'll depend. Whenever said person is emotionally stable enough to handle it.

But I'm sure if you asked a group of 13 year olds they would think that they were emotionally stable enough to have sex but they're not really

[Beastie]

The right age is when.. well you are AT LEAST the age of consent.. eventhough 16 is quite a vulnerable age for most. If two people have been going out for at least a while and trust and love each other and want to do it then do it! but use protection!

However maybe more kissing, cuddling, foreplay and a bit of fun before going all the way should be encouraged before wanting full on sex!

[Crimson Dynamo]

Unfortunately whilst it is all well and good to say "depends on the individual" etc in politics, and this is where questions like this end up, you have to make a ruling and stick with it.

I would suggest that the current rate of teenage pregnancy/abortion/single parenthood indicates that what we have now is not working - and neither is the "lets give them lots of information and contraceptives"

all sounds great but in practice its bollocks

indeed the above statement could be the Labour party slogan for the election

[Princess]

It depends on the person. Age of consent in Ireland is 17 which seems about right. But it all depends.

[Twilight]

16 but use protection, no matter what age you are:P

[Crimson Dynamo]

The middle ages seemed a good time to me, what with all them voluptuous wenches and the like.

[Dr.Gonzo]

But I'm sure if you asked a group of 13 year olds they would think that they were emotionally stable enough to have sex but they're not really

I know, that's the problem. That's ideally when a person should begin to have a sex life, but in reality it isn't going to happen... just like all of the other suggestions :(

[Niamh.]

yeah, there's feck all people can do really to stop people having sex, you just have to hope that your own kids won't do it too young!

[MrGaryy]

well it depends on the person but I'd say on average 17 is a good age.

[ILoveTRW]

depends on the person

[Jack_]

When they're ready. What needs improving is sex education. I think oral sex should be encouraged from a couple of years before a person reaches the age of consent, but this of course would probably just lead to them having sex anyway. Either way, teenagers have and will continue to have sex before the age of consent. Not only are they curious, but for some people, because there's a law, it makes them want to do it earlier. Not to mention the fact that some just don't give a ****, and sure, if they are protected, feel ready and have basic knowledge of precautions they should take, then who cares?

As I said though, sex ed is what needs to be improved.

[Enid]

Whenever they feel ready and are responsible enough to use contraception.

[Dr.Gonzo]

The boobs on your avatar are making me feel ready.

[rapunza1977]

[Enid]

[Shasown]

When they are old enough to provide for and take full responsibility for the outcome of their actions. That is support any children they may bring into the world financially and emotionally as parents.

If you cant do the time dont do the crime!

[Chels]

i'd say about 16/17 is about right, although i can't say nout as i was slightly younger.
jack has a very good point ^

[Smithy]

Whenever the person is ready, there shouldnt be a specific age (but obv above 16 or somat)

[Stephanie]

8

[Braden]

16. Because it's the same age to get married, so having sex at that age is the right time.

[rapunza1977]

no in other countries.....married at 13!

16 seems wrong to get married
tooooooo young

Ruling aside, it still depends on the indivdual. Of course you have to make a ruling but there is no getting around the fact that it's down to the person.

And 21 is just ****ing insane. I'm sorry, but it really is. The thought of two consenting 20 year olds breaking the law by having sex disturbs me greatly.

[Dr.Gonzo]

I heard this morning that in Switzerland they've just brought out an extra small condom for young boys...

[Stu]

Sold at the local churches?

[Dr.Gonzo]

No, the ice-cream man says, 'Anything for the weekend, lil lad?'

[Firewire]

16.

It's the legal age.

[Stu]

No, the ice-cream man says, 'Anything for the weekend, lil lad?'
Ah that's handy. If you need some practice you can wrap it around the cone with the white stuff sprouting out the top.

[Jack_]

16.

It's the legal age.

That doesn't mean it's the right age.

I can't legally view '18' rated films, but I still do. Or should I not because it's the legal age?

[Stacey.]

about 16.

[Ross]

It's down to the individuals.

[Stephanie]

40

[WOMBAI]

It's down to the individuals.

Too simplistic!

I love how in some countries they make it really old to have Sex, and drink and stuff.

I love how laid back the UK is about this like 'Do w/e you want..'

Oral - 14
Anal - 16

So I heard.

[Dr.Gonzo]

Yeh and in Texas you can't stroke your cat after 7pm.

Hope it wasnt your teacher you heard that from. :wink:

I researched it, you know the way im ****ing told do 24/7 on here?

[Shasown]

Good idea Patrick. However even though a government minister recently urged under 16's to go for oral sex as opposed to the real deal. UK law says it is illegal to have underage sex (including oral sex and mutual masturbation) if you are under the age of 16

[bananarama]

The legal age and the legal age to wed should be raised to 18........

The problem is when its set at such a young age of 16 then those aproaching 16 will think ah well near enough lets do it........and it becomes acceptable among the under 16s.......

The law is an ass at the mo saying you can have sex at 16 but if you become a topless model at 16 you are breaking the law........You can marry at 16 but not see bog standard "X" rated films let alone R rated stuff.....A complete ass of a legal system and regulations......

Never! Many should just stick to mags and videos - be a lot safer for them and the world in general!

Eh? People should never have sex?

You realise by doing that we'd be killing off the entire population...? :conf:

[LewisMarvel]

I would say whenever you are ready,plus the person you're going to is as well and if you are taking it serious with talking about contraception and making the decisions.

[Beastie]

I didn't say all, just many! :hugesmile:

Too many irresponsible people having sex without caring about the potential consequences! The world would be a better place, not least for the poor children that result, if they kept it between them and their mag! Not to mention - prevent the spread of all those nasty diseases!
