Umm... kind of hard to ask but should I be having sex?

I know of some girls that have been messed up by having sex at your age, but I don't think I know of any guys like that. If it terrifies you then don't do it, but otherwise I can't think of a good reason not to. You're in a spot most guys your age would kill for. Do practice safe sex when you do it.

No, not if you're not ready for it. I personally don't think any 16 year old is. (I'm not, that's for sure)

I just think very highly of sex. In my opinion it is something that should be saved, if not all the way until marriage, at least until you've found the one you're almost sure you're going to marry. Because, if you don't, when you find that person you might start wishing that you hadn't given your first time away before meeting them.

Though not matter what, never willingly let the "why not" attitude be the reason for a first time, or any time. Only when you're ready, in love, and sure it is what you want.

I actually started at a similar age and I can honestly say that it didn't screw me up at all - except it might have made a slightly larger sex fiend out of me than if I had waited. But you need to analyze your own personality and how these kinds of decisions affect you. I don't know how serious you and your girlfriend are, but the fact is that she's going off to college and you aren't, and that you guys will be in different places soon, both physically and in respect to what you're doing with your lives. So to be blunt, things may not work out in the long run. If you tend to be sensitive and you know that having sex with her is going to really increase your attachment to her, only to possible lose her in the next couple of months, I would say no. It's not worth the pain, trust me. However, if you're casually seeing her and you're just a horny teenager, by all means go for it - and make sure she teaches you well.

If you feel you are ready physically and emotionally for it then I'd say go for it. If not , not to worry. (Im 16 and I'm not too bothered) as there will be plenty of other girls who will give you the opportunity.

In your question though "Should I be having sex?" no.Its not a requirement of being your age , you don't have to do anything you want.Dont be pressurized into it but if your ready then best of luck to you ,dude.

Note:Her being willing to teach you is a very good sign, she understand that the first time is difficlut and most likely nerve racking , Your very lucky to have a girl that understands that, I envy thee. :L
