personally am a virgin, but i disagree with you.first and most important is that i strongly disagree you calling "there people" sick. people should be free to do what makes them happy without having to be labeled. i mean you can say what you want but labeling people like this is really shallow and stereotypical. you would never know if "that pregnat 13 year old" will grow up to be the president. i dont want people to think they should juss go around having sex. but no matter how old you are, if you really want to have sex with someone or some other sexual thing with someone then yes its your choice to do so. i mean as long as you are doin it because you feel its what you want and not someone else. if you are positive its what you want then you are free to do as you wish. i cant say there wont be consequences, if there are then its up to you to deal with them, and not blame other people. but i dont think goin here looking for help is a bad thing. it takes alot of courage to tell complete strangers some of the things on this website. so i dont think you should say its wrong for people under 16 to have sex. but you can say your opinion but i dont like that you are labeling people you dont know. if these people ask for help, you can either give them help or not....sorry to be so opinionated, but im 14 and i have done a few things before, i havent had sex yet but i cant say ive been sexually unactive. i was insulted because i felt are you trying to say anyone who is sexually active under 16 is sick??? i didnt know there was such a thing as a "should be" age to have sex or other related things.

You people are sick

I'd just like to say age doesnt necessarily mean maturity.
-
you know, i'm glad about one thing. someone i know had sex with someone he knew for 2 days, and it turns out he now has a large rash and is constantly dripping. in that sense, STDs are a good thing. teach someone their lesson! in the other sense, STDs can get people that don't deserve to be infected.

There is an island in the south pacific that I plan to go to. The inhabitants have no hangups about sex. Kids see moms and dads having sex, and are introduced to it casually. Interestingly, there are no ED issues on this island, either. It would seem that the acceptable age at which one loses their virginity is a cultural thing. Not saying this is good, not saying this is bad. No moral assesment in my statement. It would be nice if those that are to engage in sex would be able to appreciate the act, and treat it as a pleasurable event. A respectful act. I would also expect a certain level of maturity to be reached before that event takes place. That is more important, I think, than a set age. Having said that, I would encourage my son to wait as long as possible.

I don't think anyone deserves to be infected with an STD. The ones that are treatable are usually easily treated (so you're ready to go out and get another one very quickly), and the ones that aren't will kill you.vincubus> There is an island in the south pacific that I plan to go to.Hopefully people aren't going there and introducing STDs. I'll bet they don't have large stocks of penicillin.
-
so which stds are treatable?
-
Generally, the ones caused by bacteria, like chlamydia (one of the leading causes of blindness in underdeveloped countries), gonorrhea (remember that one?), and syphilis. There are often symptom-relieving treatments for the STDs that aren't curable.There are also vaccines for some, such as hepatitis B. There is a very effective vaccine for HPV (some strains of which cause genital warts) in development (but still no cure).

Ya might be older than 18, but ya dont act like it...go fuck stalin

Don't worry about it, he's long gone.

In reply to:
gonorrhea (remember that one?)
Rates of syphilis and gonorrhea are rising in the USA and the UK at ridiculous rates. 50 years ago, gonorrhea was well on the way to extinction in the western world and now there are hundreds of thousands of cases. Absolutely ludicrous.

God bless diseases that take advantage of our greatest weakness: the inablity to stop having sex, despite the imminent threat of painful, genital rotting disease.

LOL

When we are told not to do something or not to look at something, or listen or touch, if we don't know that "something", by nature, because we humans are curious and want to explore, we try to find out what is that "something" nomatter what.A good example is guns. If you have guns in your house, and have kids, the worse mistake you could make is to tell them not to touch, not to look at it, and never ever tell anybody about it... what is the first thing the kid is going to do when is alone? Go and look for the gun. What you have to do is show it to them, go to the range and fire it with them, let them feel it, let them understand how much damage a single shot can do including killing, and how dangerous it is. Once they get use to it, you can pretty much leave the weapon over a table, they will not pay attention to it. In fact, if you teach them well, they will tell you that you forgot the weapon over the table and that it should be inside the safe place you hide it.Same goes about sex. I'm not saying to let 8 years old kids go and have sex, but what I'm saying is that we should teach them everything we know about sex as soon as they start going curious about it. If they ask you, tell them, and also tell them how important is to take care of yourself, not to get sick from having sex, and not to get pregnant until you are older and have a family of your own.What difference does it make from 15 to 17 to 18 and to 21 years old?? On some people a lot, on others, nothing. Age is not the real factor, but is more how mature you are, and how well informed you are and how good the parent tought the person about sex and its consecuences.The day I have kids of my own, we are planning (my fiance and myself) to teach them what they need to know, and if they want to have sex before they are 18 or 21, is their decision, I'll just make sure to let them know the consecuences, and how they have to take care of themselves to avoid deceases and pregnancy.

Lol i feel like a loser, im 15 and im still freaked out by the thought of sex even though some of my friends have done it
im too scared of getting pregnant, my mom did when she was 15...
and then there are thr STI'S... its not worth the risk, plus it will be better when you are older and then you can give yourself in the biggest way possible when you find someone you truely love -
You're not a loser just because you haven't had sex yet. Sex is one of the greatest experiences that any person can ever have and your first time should be something special, planned and considered carefully.It's a pity that so many teenagers just throw their virginity away with no thought whatsoever and then end up regretting it for the next 60 years. Having said that, sex can also just be great fun and the best time for fun is when you have no other responsibilities like work, mortgages or children.
-
You're not a loser, stars. You're making decisions for yourself and not just following what your friends are doing, and that's a sign of maturity.

In reply to:Sex is [bold]one of[/bold] the greatest experiences that any person can ever haveI agree totally. I have had sex a lot (was a bachelor 'till 25, and been married almost 5 years now, as well), but there are some experiences I've had that sex simply cannot compare to.#1 Sitting in an outdoor cafe on the Champs Elysses(sp?) in Paris in August, sipping wine, having great conversation with good friends, watching Lambourghinis and Ferarris zipping up and down the street at 2am. Still the #1 greatest experience of my life.

Isnt this place supost to be somewhere you can be blunt and honest with out having to worry about being judged? come on everyone has questions so we might as well have somewhere to talk to other people with the same questions

In reply to: This board is bananas. Me and all my friends are 17, and out of a class of 500, not even half have had sex. If you loose your virginity before you're 16 that is WAY too early. I seriously don't believe you. How can you count for all those 500 odd people. Also 500 in a class, which I guess you mean year level seems a bit high.
