I think everyone is "ready" at different ages. 16 might be right for someone, but someone else may want to wait or get it over with earlier.
I think that I have been somewhat brainwashed by society regarding sex.. I feel like it is such a shameful and horrible thing for me to do. I know it's not and I don't hold anything against anyone who does it as long as they are responsible, but I don't think I could ever look into my parents' faces if I lost my virginity before I turned 18 and was out of the house. But at the same time, I feel as if a lot of media, T.V. shows, etc. and fellow teenagers are almost pressuring me to have sex during high school. Haha, I know this probably seems ridiculous.... so currently I'm pretty confused and have decided just not to do it until I meet someone who's really hot and into me. Ha, j/k
Umm, this is embarressing to admit, but my boyfriend of about two years and me broke up a few months ago mainly because of this issue. He always wanted to do it and I was like..... no thanks. And then he kept going on about how it was like we were "just friends" since I didn't want to have sex. This is even weirder to admit, lol, but truthfully, I just never found myself sexually attracted to him after our first few months of dating, so I definitely didn't want to lose my virginity to someone who I didn't even want to do it with! Uhh, we sometimes did other things that weren't... intercourse, but I never wanted to. He basically just pressured me into it a lot. It was not that I felt I wasn't ready (well I guess that was kinda it too), I just didn't want to do anything like that with him. Ah, harsh. But yeah, that's my story. I think I will be a 40-year-old virgin. My standards are way too high and every guy that I like is way out of my league ;_; I'm not really in a hurry though especially with my conflicting views about this, ugh.
P.S. props on making this topic! I really can't talk to my friends about these things (they are either wayyy ahead of me or waiting until marriage status)
