Sex at 16
Lauren, 16
Asks:
Me and my boyfriend have been going out for almost two years. I believe I am in love with him. Do you think it is a bad choice to engage in sexual activity? I know there are so many risks for it, but what am I suppose to do? I'm in love.
Lee's Thoughts:
Yes, it is a bad choice. You are going to hate this, but you are simply too young. At the very LEAST wait until you are out of high school. Sex right now will NOT BE GOOD ANYWAY. I don't care if all of your friends are doing it. There is no reason to do it. I promise in five to ten years, when you look back at your first time...if you do it now, you'll regret it.
Wait until you are an adult. Wait until at least aren't living in your parents house for gawd sake.
Also, I'm glad you think you are in love, but you're not. If this relationship lasts until you're eighteen, go for it. I'll buy you the condoms. Just don't do it right now.
If you read the conversation Stacy and I are having in the post below, you'll see I'm all for sex...its just that right now, you need to concentrate on school. You need to graduate and focus on going to college. You need to focus on you, not this guy. Wouldn't it suck if you got pregnant? Wouldn't it suck if you got Herpes from this guy? Wouldn't it suck if you got pregnant AND Herpes?
Remember BLUE BALLS do not exist.

I don't care if you have sex when you are 16 or twenty. It's your body and it's your life. I lost my virginity at 16 and I don't regret it at all. I was in the love with my boyfriend and our relationship lasted three years.
But I will say this. If you need to come online to verify if you are ready, then you are not.
When you are ready, you will be ready without a doubt. So hold off. You obviously need time to think about this, and decide if it's the right choice for you.
