AGE AND SEX

[dkanofsky]

The appropriate age for having sex should be based on how developmentally, financially and emotionally one is ready to support having a child, even when having a child is not intended.

A child is going to have sex regardless of what their parent says. Sometimes just for spite and sometimes because they can't control themselves in the heat of the moment. Just sit your kids down at an early age, and by this I mean 12 or at the age of puberty and explain EVERYTHING fully. Give them options and help then with birth control if needed. The most important thing is to be open minded so they feel they can talk to you freely without judgment. Hopefully they wont have sex until they are of a much more mature age but if they decide  they are ready even if you don't think they are then at least they know the consequences.

There is no good answer for this.  Sex is certainly nothing to take for granted.  I waited until I found the right lady.   And no, I am not going to tell you how old I was.  It was after High School though.  I never let my friends put pressure on me which I think is the major reason kids have sex at a early age.  I was always aware of the consequences involved with having sex.  The thought of being responsible for a child scared the living .... out of me. I waited for the right lady, was mature enough, had the money required to support a family, and had a great paying job.  Age for sex is not important.  What is more important is your future.  Be sure you know what you are getting in to.

when someone is mature enough to have sex. I do not think age has anything to do with it. age is just a legality.
