 | I can absolutely say, with no doubt in my mind, that i believe you are not ready to have sex. I'm 16 and I don't have a boyfriend right now, but i've been asking myself about how i feel about sex lately. But the difference in my questions and your questions is that my questions are mostly about my emotions, my beliefs, what preventative steps i would take, my plan of action if anything went wrong, and how i'd bring up these subjects with the person i feel ready to have sex with. You're asking if your body is ready to have sex. You aren't even thinking about what impact this is going to have on you mentally and the impact it will have on your relationship. Ok, sorry to judge you, but maybe you are thinking about the repercussions, but from your question, it doesn't appear that you are. I urge you to wait until you are much older before giving up such an important part of your identity. I'm not saying you should wait until marriage, but you should wait until you are mature enough and responsible enough to make decisions about protection, birth control, and what to do if you get pregnant. At 13 your body isn't ready for a baby, and neither are your emotions. And when you do have sex, it should be for you, not just so you can please your boyfriend or so you can say you're not a virgin anymore. Sorry if anything i said offended you, this is just how i would handle the situation. |
