x-kitycatlok-x agony auntI'd say it was perfectly fine as long as both members of the party are completely committed and know what they are doing. As long as it's because they both care for each other and not because of being too turned on or because he's pressuring her into it. I don't quite know what the law is where you are on the legal age and stuff, but as long as they don't broadcast it to the world and are sensible (use protection), it's not like it really matters. Two year age gap isn't that big of a deal, and if they both feel they are ready then go for it.

The law is there to stop young girls and guys getting hurt, and also because people under that age may not be old enough to handle the possible consequences. Also because of the maturity level of young people, however if they are sure they will be careful and they are both mature enough to make logical decisions then there is nothing wrong with it at all.

Wishing you the best

shady2012 agony auntive known people that have sex younger than you.

and honestly, its not something anyone is proud of.

you need to be true to yourself. remember that only a SELECT FEW

can not have sex. and in the end its worth it if you can hold it

because your not going to miss out on it. it will come

if you a person really cares about you sex really doesnt matter

remember that

Tremor agony auntI've always kinda felt that 15 is too young to be having sex. It's one of those ages that's right on the cusp - not /quite/ old enough to be having sex, but not quite young enough not to.

But if you are certain, committed, and using protection, then you could be doing worse than a two year age gap.

calico agony auntWell, I think that it depends on the type of person you ask. Now days in society, sex is just like a normal thing to do and nobody really thinks twice about 'doing it'. In my opinion though a 15 and a 17 year old is a little dangerous, and on both sides. For one, it wont be too long until the 17 year old turns 18, and if the deed is still happening, well you know what could happen w/ that. But even outside of that, what business does a 17 year old have w/ a 15 year old??? It just seems a little wrong. Someone might end up really getting hurt, and at 15, thats just too much to loose.
