Sex at 15?

Former Member

Me and my girlfriend love each other very much and we have seriously discussed having sex. Not in a dirty way, but we think that it will help our relationship. We are both 15 and mature. The only thing is that I am worried about the risks of pregnancy and getting done for being a paedophile. Is it worth it or shall I wait until I am 16?

Well, for a start as you're both 15, then there's no chance you'll get done "as a paedo" as you're both underage.

The thing is though, what counts as "underage" in this country, is different from in others. In some it's 14 for example.

The main thing is; do both you and your girlfriend feel the time is right. You say you have both talked openly about sex, so there is already an amount of maturity here. It's something you've both thought about.

If you both have no doubt in your mind that the time is right, then go for it. If there is even a slight amount of doubt, then wait. It'll be worth it.

At the end of the day, it's up to you two, and no-one else. Only you will know when the time is right.

And when you do go for it, make sure you use a condom!

At 15 I was no where near ready. It depends on the individual person. I was 17 and now I probably think I should have waited longer because things were awkward. If you feel you are ready go for it, if not, you should wait.

Thanx for clearing up the paedo thing

I think you should read this... http://www.thesite.org/sex/general_sex/sex__whats_within_the_law.html

The law is not as cut and dry as you seem to think.
