One night stands for youngsters?

Most people don't have a problem with 15/16 year olds having sex with their boyfriends/girlfriends. But I was wondering what people's opinion is of people this age having one-night-stands or casual sex? Is this the same as sex in a relationships, or does your opinion the appropriate age for casual sex differ from the appropriate age for someone in a relationship? Would you consider it acceptable for a 15/16 year old to go back to someone's house from a club, or a newly acquainted 14 and 15 year old to hook up at a party? Do you have to be more mature before you can 'handle' casual sex?

oops
I'd agree with this, but I think its still wrong and how you build up bad reputations.
I don't know what an appropriate age is, but under 16 is, in my opinion, not good, as you are still a child and not ready to deal with the consequences of what may happen, emotionally/mentally and physically.
Some will be, and some won't.
Like many people I knew, I was having casual sex before I was 16 and it never caused me any bother. I do know some girls however that slept around before that age that later regretted it.
Of course, there are street wise 16 year olds, and extremely stupid 18 year olds. :rolleyes:
Although if I caught my sister having sex (casual or otherwise) before she's 16 she would be in serious trouble. :grump:
It's illegal but what is the difference between a girl of 15 and 9 months having sex in a stable relationship and a 16 year old girl sleeping with someone?
I know 14-year-olds who are ready for the whole works, and I know 19-year-olds who aren't mature enough to hold hands yet.
Im 16 (nearly 17) and although ive never had casuel sex - i have always been in a relationship - i wouldn't turn down the oppertunity of casuel sex if the oppertunity arises. Though obviously i wouldn't just do it with anyone, theyd have to seem like a genuine guy, who i might consider to be a boyfriend (i get on with them, similar age). And of course I wouldn't have sex with anyone without protection or any kind.
I bet you do, you dirty man!
I'm a married man I'll have you know!
