Legioness agony auntI don't really see it as being not ok, as long as you know the in's and outs, are being safe, and considering that you're under age, that one of the two of you are not classed as of the age consent, as it would be illegal.. Not that it isn't anyway, just more so.

No one can answer this for you. Because no one can group all humans together into one bunch and have them agree on anything. At all.

This comes down to personal choice and no one has any right to tell you to go ahead or to stay away. The only right people have is to advise you of their opinions on the subject and leave it at that.

So long as you truly want to let go of the last remaining link to your childhood and take that first step into adulthood (which will take many more steps afterwards to complete) and are not doing it simply to please some other party. Then have fun. Keep it clean and make sure it is special the first time because you cannot turn back.

Were you in Australia or any other civilised society you'd presumedly be able to make this decision AT least by the time you were 16, hence the age of consent. I mean it isn't that hard to decide if you want to have sex or not.

Well if you live in the US its illegal till your 17.

Morally... Wow thats a loaded question.

For starters sex can cause alot of problems Stds Stis unwanted pregnancy etc. But at the same time it is the ultimate show of love and affection. I started having sex at 14.

I wish i would have waited and I am now 20 and married. The fact that you have only been with this person for a short amount of time seems slightly odd to me but i am not you. Just be safe use condoms birth control etc and make sure you TRUST the person never do it because everyone else is or because of pressure from your significant other. Its not worth it

meggafritz agony auntIm the same age as you, and I use to have the same idea.... I was tempted to have sex with my boyfriend, and I was asked to have sex with him. I deciced not to, because its my body, and I wasn't ready. We broke up a few months later, for reasons other then sex, and I was very happy for my decision to let him have my virginity!

KEEP IT AS LONG AS YOU CAN!

And if you dont have it, sucks to be you.

The answer is yes and no... not very helpful huh.

yes if you feel you are ready and want to.

No if you are just trying to please him.

Sex brings with it alot of complications and hassles that are really best left for adulthood.

I lost my virginity at 19 and I think that was about the right age. I had been in the real world for a few years and was ready for a proper relationship

DoubleM agony auntIs it ok to be sexually active at 15 years old?

Well, to be truthful as I strive to be, I was sexual by age 15, but I cannot say that it was all good. I think that early sex can be detrimental to later relationships.

When we are teenagers, and everyone goes through it, we want to start doing everything considered "cool" and grown up. Early sexual activity can certainly have complications, some of which can affect your entire future. But I did it, so cannot be a hypocrite. My recommendation is to just be prudent.

It being ok is really up to you and how you feel about it. What is important is that you use condoms and understand the risks without one.
