Minimum of 16, but it varies from person to person. The 25-year-old morons out there having unsafe sex with anything that lies still long would still be virgins if there was any justice in this world.

Old enough to understand what they're doing and to practice safe sex. For most people that would be between 14-16 but it varies from person to person.

18 at least. The body at 16 isn't mature, the mind even less so. My feeling is, if you don't know how what you have works, can't speak about it without giggling if at all and don't want your parents to know, you're too young.

14????? Have you ever dealt with those kids??? They can't even say the word 'penis' without getting all embarrassed. Trust me, at 14 they do NOT know what they're doing. I worked with that age, they were engaging in sex play and clueless.

I'm 26, and I still don't speak about it without giggling and still don't want my parents to know.

I've seen some exceptions. a 15 year old girl graduated from highschool with me. not only did she have the highest GPA in our class of 40, but she acted our age if not older. but generally speaking you are totally correct.

My son is 14 and thinks like a 30 year old, but he is certainly NOT ready for sex. I'd be willing to bet that 15 year old wasn't messing around. With the kids I worked with (and it was a public middle school, so all types of kids), it seemed that the lower academic ones were the ones most active.

Re: how old should someone be before having sex?

The smart ones are smart enough to make people think butter wouldnt melt in their mouth and thats the truth.

Isnt it a bit silly to say someone is so mature they know their not ready for sex because they are not mature enough?

I would say 16 the legal age at least were i am is reasonable but the thing is ultametly its up to them.

Its not always fair to judge by your own standards some people are just have more sexual desire than others.

I dont have kids but if i do i dont really want to have a relationship with them that means they have to humour me by lying.
