How old should you be to have sex?

Reader Ally asked:

How old do you think you should be to have sex?

I think 9 or up.

Reader "Surprised" Responds:

Wow, sex in 3rd grade? From what I remember in 3rd grade, the only thing I thought about the opposite sex was cooties.

I think that you should wait until you have the responsibility to take care of the consequences (whether they be feelings of guilt, humility, conception, STDs, etc.)

I don't think that many 9-year-olds would even know if they were being used sexually in the first place.

Suggestion is a very powerful tool, and most children don't have a strong ability to ignore it (much less many adults)

Reader Twinki Responds:

Good answers.

I think 9 years old – or even 13 for that matter – you shouldn't even be thinking about sex. I mean, my god, you have your whole life ahead of you. Just chill out.

I think that when you get married – like around 21 and up – on your wedding night just you and him, all alone, and have that special night.

All I have to say is: SAVE IT for the one you love!

9 is too young!

Wow! Nine? That's a little too young. I think 17 at the earliest.

Sixteen is the age of consent in Australia.

I disagree, because I'm pretty sure that the legal age is 16.

As for the age of 9??? If you didn't know the legal age to have sex, you shouldn't be having it!!!!

As well as not being able to get the equipment you need to have sex, you have a problem. You'll find it hard to find another person to do it with.

Boys Don't Think About Sex All the Time

Although you might think that is all boys around the age of 13 think about, I've got news for you: they don't. You'll find out that boy's are immature and selfish untill they get a proper relationship with a girl.

And even if you find someone mature and at the legal age, you won't to be sure that they're true.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have sex untill you're ready because for all you know, they could be male sluts.
