We have a 2 year age gap, is this a big deal?

Question - (26 October 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 26 October 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

I am 15 years old and I am dating a 17 year old guy. I was just wondering about people's opinions on the age gap? Both of our birthdays are in August, so he is young for his age, as am I. Since we live in the UK the legal age for sex is 16. I am pondering the idea of waiting until I am legal, although lets face it by then my hormones would have gone crazy haha. We have already done a few things but he was constantly saying that I could just say no and he wouldn't mind, also yesterday he told me that he didn't really care whether or not we had sex. We are both virgins, although he told me that he had a very high sex drive and as silly as this sounds it is quite worrying because he has a very high level of testosterone; he grows facial hair really quickly and has sideburns so I'm guessing yeah he does have a large sex drive. However I am not letting myself give in, just last night I told him I didn't want to do anything and despite him pulling a sad face (as a joke, but still) I didn't give in and we decided to watch saw 6 instead haha, just to get him out of that romantic mood you know! So yeah, can any of you help me on how to cope with his high sex drive? Thankyou in advance :)

HP1993 agony auntThere is an age gap between me and my boyfriend too. I was 15 and he was 17 and now i'm 17 and he's 19 and we're still together. He wasn't a virgin but i was when we got together. I waited until i was 16, because of the law and because i'm quite old fashioned and wanted to wait and see if the relationship would last and not just jump straight into bed. And it has lasted. I was 16 and 5 months when we first had sex, and we waited until we both loved eachtother. Your first time will be so much more special if you're 100% sure this relationship will last and you both really love eachother.

And like aunt honesty said, use contraception! I'm on the implant, look it up on the internet, it works for me and it's 99.9% effective :)

Good luck! x

aunt honesty agony auntOk well i hope for your own sake that you can wait until you are legal just think that if anyone were to find out that he could be in serious trouble he would end up on the sex register list and it would ruin his life.

Am glad that he is not pressuring you in to anything and august wont be long coming around so just keep fooling around and realise both of your sexual frustrations without having intercourse. If he loves you he will wait and it will make your 16th birthday extra special.

Just remember that when you do start having sex to always wear protection and also it could be a good idea when you are 16 to go to your doctor and be put on some kind of contraception as condoms arent always 100%.
