What is the ideal age to lose virginity for guys and girls?

There isn't one ideal age. It varies depending on the person, but anything under 16 is too young. You will always remember your first time. Be careful to have no regrets.

Virginity IS important and its something that has to be thought about before given away. It might not be that important to the girl who's losing it but, think about the people around her and society.\nDespite the rise in teen sex, its still not OK in society for a teenager to be sexual and to have sex. With guys its a little different because guys see it as a status thing. With girls, you either come off looking like a slut or you're seen as easy or "used". \nWhen giving it up, its got to be something you want to do and its got to be something you've thought about. If you're unsure, dont do it. Its not something you can get back.

Virginity is as the most precious gift you have to give, so it should be highly valued.  Think about it: It is the only thing about you that you can give away just once.  So you should be extremely particular about that.  I wish now at 39 that I had been more particular when I ws 20!

I don't think there is realy an age that is appropriate, because all people have different maturity levels at different times in their lives. I lost mine at the age of 16 and I'm 22. My boyfriend got my drunk and basically took advantage of me. Don't get me wrong, I could have said no, but I didn't. Today I wish I would have waited. Thinking about when my son gets older and if he ever asked mom, when did yo first have sex. Most parents would never hear that so I probably won't, but what if they were to ask? Although, I would never take it back because it got me where I am today, I've been happily married for two years with a gorgeous ten month old son. People make mistakes, but hopefully they learn from them. Society isn't the problem I don't think. i think the parents and schools need to start at a young age teaching values, because they are lacking somewhere.

There is no magic age (except 18) :) It is okay to wait. Despite the message of the "new virgin" crowd you really only do get one first time. Once you are in a relationship with someone that you care about (beyond just a physical attraction), then consider it. You will be in a very vulnerable emotional and physical position, and you have to absolutely trust your partner. Has he/she been honest about his/her past or disease status? Is he/she really committed to you or is he/she just trying to get in your pants? Once you can pose these (and other) questions, and know in your heart that you have gotten and honest answers, then it is too soon for you no matter what your age.

I have actually seen documentaries of people aged 14-20 where they ask the guys questions like: Do you want your future wife to be a virgin when you marry?, Or are you comfortable marrying a girl who has slept around?, etc. and the answer over and over again has been that they would like to marry a virgin.\n\nIt seems a lot of guys want to play around sexually before marriage, but will go looking for a "clean" girl when they are serious about settling down. \n\nA lot of very sexually active girls are in for a huge shocker when they want to marry.

Stay a virgin for as long as you can.  I lost mine when I was 20 and I still regret it.  I truly believe 18 yr olds don't know what true love is.  It isn't just a feeling of happiness and wanting to be with that person.  Love means you will help that person when they are ill, clean up their vomit, pick up their snot-filled kleenexes off the floor, etc.  Love means you will stand up for them when others don't, even if you don't agree with them.  Love means you will laugh at their stupid jokes and never get sick of hearing them over and over again.  Love means you will support them at what they do for a living, in schooling, in the community.  Love means TONS of things.  18 yr old can't do this all.  Stay a virgin for now.  Sex is a temporary good feeling.  Love andl ove-making is a permanent great feeling.

I am not going to say it is right or wrong, I lost mine when I was 15 my lil sis 18 it all depends on the person and if they feel ready. Don't do it because you think the guy will like you better, or you don't want to be the only one not doing it. Because trust me you're not, alot of people aren't. But I see it this way if you feel ready, you are about this person,love, then okay, but if you are not ready then he or she will wait on you and if they don't then they never loved you anyway. Just be care-full there is so much out there right now that you never know. For me though I see it this way you never know what is out there until you test the waters, but i will tell you something, my husband was number 3 and I wish he was number 1. Sex though is as enjoyable as the person makes it. I love sex, not for the feeling but for the creativity. When you love someone enough to spend the rest of your life with, then it can never get boring unless you let it.

We learn how to handle it either all by ourselves or someone shows us.  It does not matter either way.  It is how we are made and what we do.  It does not matter what age a guy is when he starts, it is going to happen.  Most guys are getty pretty interested around 12 or 13.\n\nOur bodies are healthy and normal and for the most part we all function about the same.  After this, we lose interest quickly.  Testicles need time to recoup and produce.  All of us know there is a lot of variety in the number of times, daily, every other day or so, weekly or whatever.  This changes all the time.\n\nTruth represents things the way they really are. We are not made for sex. Sex is made for us.

I don't think there is really a "set" age for when it's best time for start sex. It's only best when your mind is mature enough start full responsibility of your own action. Your simple action could affect more than you and your sex partner, but in the end might affects all the people around you. Once you start sex, you can't stop after the 1st time, right? Then you would start doing like normal thing, it might be alright if you are adult which have stable income to handle the new born baby if the birth control fails. On the other hand, if you are just early teen..and start doing more and more..your friends will know it soon or later no matter what, then they would copy and start having sex because of influence. \n\nMy point is unless you think you are mentally and financially ready then maybe you can wait little longer.

virginity when you got it seems to be a burden that grows.\n\nbut when it is gone ,it will be a loss.\n\nit will suprise some girls ,but it will also blow their mind and somebody might just apreciate it no end and be so much the happier for it.\n\n\nif you got this far ,you could hang on a little longer,25 is a good time to get married any way \n\ndont blow 25 years of control on a cheap thrill.\nthat it keeps getting harder I can well imagine,probably every day.but try to keep it up.

Frankly, If I were a girl (Having reached the legal age), I would have sex with the boy7man I feel I love without feeling that I have lost my dignity. Dignity is how we present ourselves before the public and before ourselves. I have seen non virgins that a lot noble and I have seen virgins that are a lot bitchy.

I lost my virginity when I was 16, that was 20 yrs ago.  \nHowever, I wish I would have waited for "someone special".  At the time, I thought I was in love, and that he loved me.  The truth was, he just wanted to get laid, and today, I can't even remember his name.  That is not so special.\n\nI would say it is not unusual to lose your virginity at 15, but I would also say it is worth waiting for.\n\nSave yourself and your heart alot of aching (literally).
