Total Number of Comments78 
  • (523284) - 18
  • (492445) - when they are ready because they can deal with babies by then, but most start earlier, including me.
  • (288803) - 16. Adulthood is generally considered at 18-21 years of age, but sexual maturity is generally reached at 16.
  • (254321) - 15 is a good age because i feel people have the right to make the choice
  • (197531) - 18 because then they are adults and can make better choices.
  • (154176) - any age they want to
  • (136105) - 18 - and once they are married
  • (130273) - 16 or older and it is better if they know more stuff about sex by then
  • (115196) - marriage....safer
  • (111679) - It depends on the person. If a girl at age 14 wants to have sex, she should know the facts. As should a boy at that age. At any age, they should know the facts, and apply them. Will, and do they? No.
  • (85545) - They should wait till they are out of highg school and college and are married.
  • (77143) - whenever they are ready to because they can
  • (69812) - SİKİŞME
  • (57810) - I think you should wait untill you're married because, from experience, I wish I would have waited so that it would be special...
  • (55619) - WHEN THEY ARE OLD ENOUGH TO DRIVE, VOTE, DRINK, GET MARRIED & SERVE IN THE MILITARY - SEX IS FOR ADULTS - NOT KIDS
  • (53965) - 16 at least they are somewhat an adult and could make a responsible choice.
  • (49809) - it's a personal choice that everybody should make when they're ready
  • (48703) - Not before the age of 17, because kids are not responsible enough to have a possible baby before that, but any older would be too much to put a law on because thats when boys are at theit sexual peak, after that age it is their choice
  • (48682) - 16, so they mature faster and realize that sex isnt everything
  • (48525) - When males start getting erections because that's the best way to release the semen buildup
  • (48085) - never!!
  • (47956) - when they can handle possible consequences
  • (47955) - idk when they want to
  • (47865) - i guess marriage but i know kids dont do that anymore.
  • (47862) - 16 or 17.
  • (47842) - no younger than 17..... but once they feel they are ready
  • (47823) - bumping uglies in the womb
  • (47423) - when they are married
  • (47112) - I don't think that an age limit can be set for someone to have sex.
  • (47087) - 18, by then they should be aware of both good and evils of sex
  • (47066) - Whenever a child feels they LOVE the person they intend to have sex with.
  • (47031) - 18 plus because love and relationships are complicated and you dont want to be hurt and your not mature enough
  • (47025) - At whatever age they are prepared for the possible worst cases (ie, raise a child)
  • (46995) - 16
  • (46934) - whenever they want, within reason that is. most people realize that it's not the best of ideas to not use a condom. the truth of the matter is that no matter what kids are taught, they're going to do it when they think they're ready, regardless of outside influence.
  • (46925) - when they get married! because its safer
  • (46922) - 18
  • (46889) - 19
  • (46866) - 17
  • (46854) - at least 16 cuz they are in high school and i think are old enough to make their own decision
  • (46851) - Whenever it happens naturally. They are natural urges and fighting them doesn't help anything.
  • (46848) - No earlier than 18. Prior to 18, the kid is the responsibility of his or her parents. If the kid gets pregnant or impregnates someone, it's the responsibility of the parent...not the kid.
  • (46834) - When they are in love.
  • (46833) - When they are in love.
  • (46797) - There shouldn't be a set age because that would just cause pressure but kids should do it when they feel they have enough information on the consequences.
  • (46795) - Until they are married.
  • (46787) - 18 or older because you are an adult at 18 and can make your own decisions
  • (46781) - When they feel comfortable as long as they are safe
  • (46754) - 17
  • (46752) - whenever they feel comfortable and ready enough to have sex
  • (46722) - Whenever they are ready on their own ( void of feeling pressured)
  • (46707) - After they get married... Becuase I believe in abstinence!
  • (46675) - 18 because they are now adults and are responsible for their decisions
  • (46638) - i'm a virgin cus i don't know the reason
  • (46630) - When they are mature enough to understand the purpose and outcome of their actions. You can't really put a specific age on that.
  • (46610) - 17+
  • (46603) - i think once we are seen as adults (18)
  • (46601) - 15
  • (46598) - I believe that at age 15, people can begin to make decisions about their body and what they do with it.
  • (46595) - No specific age, everyone is different
  • (46593) - there's no certain age, but as long as they're of age and being responsible.
  • (46586) - When ever they feel that the time is right for them
  • (46584) - When they are married, because it is something that should be shared with one person. But this is pretty unrealistic.
  • (46582) - 18 or older
  • (46578) - as late as possible to prevent hurt and drama.
  • (46575) - 22 because they are out of college and if they get preg its all good
  • (46570) - 18.
  • (46568) - 18
  • (46567) - 18 when your an adult
  • (46548) - Probably around high school, cuz that's when guys get horny and girls get noticed.
  • (46544) - At the age where they think that they are emotionally ready to.
  • (46542) - Don't know
  • (46541) - marriage i suppose is ethically the right answer.
  • (46539) - No younger than 16 or 17 because they're not mature enough to be making the right kind of decisions about it or staying safe.
  • (46537) - Whenever they are emotionally and physically ready.
  • (46503) - 15 because it rules, actually i think kids are old enought to know what they are doing and think
  • (46496) - whenever they think they are ready
  • (46495) - thgreugfre
