Your views on Underage Sex?

[Sigmar ov The Hammer]

Being someone who lost his virginity at 15 (I would say 15 is a reasonable age, 16 more so, since you're on the older side of your teen spectrum) to someone who was 17, I can say that I'm fine with underage sex (be a tad hypocritical if I wasn't).

As long as both partners have enough knowledge and a good education about sex and each others/their own bodies, it's all good IMO.
If they know the risks to, that's also useful (though it may not deter many underage people).

.... Oh, and keep to one partner. You never feel good about being "generous" in the end.
Free love is never free.

*EDIT*
I'd like to note that I didn't have sex at 15 because of some immense social pressure/anxiety to do so. Let's face it, I'm posting on the escapist and recently pre-ordered the collectors edition of Skyrim. I'm not exactly Mr. Promiscuous.
I've always been a firm believer in waiting for the right person, love, etc. So when I met the aforementioned "17 year old" and things were going well with us, we did it. Simple as that.

Legal age here is 18 which I am just about to turn myself but I still think that people my age and younger should not be having sex, but I know they all will.

 

[ShotgunZombie]

Never met a practitioner of abstinence you see.

Neither have I, but I've met a few of their children.

How'd that go?

 

[EHKOS]

I find if that the two people doing it are feeling the way love grips you and tell's you to DO IT NOW, then it's ok. Like two teens in love. Fuck statutory rape, if it's consensual. 18 and 17 that's fine. Now 50 and 17....mmmm nah.

I see the younger staff at my workplace cringe up at a cup of fresh-brewed coffee or a lovely Earl Grey tea, but grab a can of sickly Red Bull or V or someshit. Those same kids will swill down flavoured vodka drinks and sneer at my German beers, fine wine or aged scotch. And when we bring in food to share, they won't touch the delicious fine cheeses, cured meats or water crackers, but scoff down the pizza or doughnuts. Why? Because they don't have the sensibilities or mature tastebuds to properly enjoy good food.

Out of interest, why are the substances you're choosing to consume superior, other than because you've been culturally conditioned to believe so?

15 is the youngest I'd go for sex. Personally I am waiting much longer than that XD but I feel like you should at least have gone all the way through puberty and be in high school.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

if theyre 15+ and responsible (maybe 14, if you're good) then i see no problem with consensual sex. but i do have a problem with 17/18 year olds boning 14/15 year olds.

Alright, I'll call it, if it's fully consensual and commited by mature people, why not 50 and 17, for reasons other than, "Ew! Gross!"

Because ew gross. OP asked my feeling's on it. Sure, it's prolly alright, but I find it gross.

If both parties consent completely than I have no issue with it provided the age difference is within the bounds set up by that equation that I can't recall at the moment.

The thing is that the younger they get the harder it is to be sure that consent is really there, as they might not be in a position to make informed decisions. As a flat limit I'd have to say 14 is what I'd be ok with, 13's a little weird and anything lower leaves me feeling uneasy.

The rule you're thinking of is half plus 7

 

[Wolfhowl the shadow lurker]

"never have sex unless your ready for a baby"

yeah thats not gonna stop em

not much you can do will all you can do is tell them how to have safe sex

but then again im a only 16 year old who has never even had a hug from anyone but my mum so maybe im not the best person for this

 

[orangeban]

or mature 15 year olds (I say 15 as it's close to 16)

There is no such thing as a 'mature' 15 year old.

15 year old claiming to be mature are precisely as immature as 15 year olds with no illusions about their inexperience and immaturity.

Unless that 15 year old was brought up in a war zone or has otherwise spent the majority of their life taking care of themselves and/or others, in which case that 15 year old would likely not be on this forum, discussing such frivolous things as 'when fucking is appropriate', they would be in the process of taking care of themselves and/or others.

I mean no offense to any teenagers in this thread or on this forum who think that being well-read, reasonable or intelligent is the same as 'mature.'

It isn't.

You're not.

It's to do with your life and experience:

At 15, you've spent about 3 years, tops, with any responsibility whatsoever, if that, you've had almost no life experience and have barely had time to make any catastrophic mistakes to learn from (the process called 'growing up.')

As for whether or not you're ready to have sex, that's nobody's business but yours, hers and your parents. Talk it over with them.

And wear a fucking condom.

I don't think you can wave of all 15 year olds as not being mature (even if we don't count those who grew up in war zones or who looked after themselves totally alone).

We all learn from experiences in different ways, some take petty mistakes and learn huge amounts, some lose limbs and learn nothing. 3 years of life experience could be more than enough for some, 30 years can be lacking for others. There is no magical point where you've had enough experience to be mature.

Besides, maturity is just about knowing how to react sensibly to things, common sense and (effectively) tact. It isn't some worldly wisdom that can only be picked up by living for decades.

Divide by two, add seven.

OT: I'm not a fan of the idea, but it happens and that's fair enough, some people over the legal age shouldn't be allowed to, and there are those younger than it I know that I wouldn't be bothered about them having sex. It's mostly about maturity really.

 

[WickedSkin]

If they can and want to have sex, go for it. Keep the age ratios appropriate though. 14 and a 35 yr old seems weird. a 25 and a 35 is ok. a 18 and a 25 is ok. a 13 and a 14 is ok. It's a little bit wrong to set such limits I know but the pedo warnings get to everyone.

 

[FreakSheet]

Shows a real lack of self control if you seriously can't even wait for a few years. It is kinda sad to see people talk about something as beautiful as sex as some sort of activity like rock climbing, to be done when ever you want, just so long as you have protection

 

[someonehairy-ish]

I'll say what I always say to these threads:

The age limit imposed by the law is just an arbitrary number. There is absolutely no reason to believe that on a persons sixteenth birthday they magically gain some new insight into that world that makes them act sensibly. A fifteen year old can be reasonable and mature just as easily as a twenty-something year old can be an idiot.
If someone younger than sixteen wants to, and they understand the risks of STDs and pregnancy, then fine.

How sensible you are about it and how good your relationship with your partner is is more important than your age.

 

[rayen020]

meh. If both parties consent, know what they are consenting to, and use protection i see no problems. The Caveat to this being do they really know what they are doing? This is something that i think our generation is going to have to deal with especially because the conservative sexual repressive chains are starting to come loose. I not gonna say we need nudity and sex on primetime television but i think it is something that we need to let kids know more about instead of throwing their hormone driven selves into high school with little to no knowledge and hoping they can figure it out on their own.

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

The thing a lot of people fail to see is we are programmed to do it.

I find that if you are careful, and don't become like a slut, you are fine.
Do it every once in a while, I can understand.

Do it constantly, that's where I draw the line.
