Will I regret not having sex while I'm young? Personal takes please?

I would argue that for a girl, since youth is valued so highly in women, perhaps yes. Bear in mind that on average women hit their peak Sexual Market Value in their early-mid 20s (I could point out a few studies if you like). For men, it is fairly common (worldwide) to have sexual relations (hookups or relationships) with younger women (in their 20s) as 30-40 somethings.

A man's sexual market value tends to peak in the late 20s and then stabilize and flat-line until about 40, some men retaining their power at an older age with wealth and/or a youthful appearance (ex. Will Smith). This is partly because a man's attractiveness in the eyes of women is not solely dependent on his looks, but also his power/status/wealth play a major role.

For women, looks are imperative in attracting a male, which is why Oprah does not have attractive males swarming all over her, despite being worth over a billion.

I would say it would be smart to have sex while you are still in your prime appearance wise. Although you could be a late bloomer, it is a case-by-case basis.

No.
The only thing sex will do to you is open your eyes to a world of pressure, precocious knowledge and useless stress.
Have sex when you are older and save it for someone special.
Dont listen to the duds and diploids. Sex isn't the greatest thing and it is, truly, overrated.

Thanks for that

I did not want to have sex with teens as a teen ever, even now I am glad I wasn't sexually active young, I started at 18. Guys probably would regret but as a girl, I am very glad. Plus not many guys want a girl with more partners than them, I am still on single digits and guys LOVE it.

Depends on your views of sex and how and when it should be done. Just make sure the person you are with and you make your intentions for the future very clear and stick to it.

[BellePepper]

Let me put it this way: I've never regretted *not* having sex with someone. Do what feels comfortable and right for you. Who cares what other people say or think.

[BearsAnswers]

That will depend entirely on what happens in your sexual future, to be honest. If you find a great guy in the next couple of partners, and he ends up being the one, you may be glad that you didn't sleep around a lot before you met him. However, if it takes quite a few partners, and you start getting used to the idea that sex is a natural part of life and that it can be a fun, positive, enjoyable experience when shared between responsible, consenting adults, then you may realize that there were a lot of opportunities for enjoyment and emotional bonding that you missed.

If waiting ends up 'working' for you, it will seem worth it. If it doesn't work out, it may seem like you missed out and you may feel some regret. It's a crap shoot, really, like most of life. Don't worry too much about it, just let your life develop at its own pace.

If you really like someone and you've been dating fur at least a few months I don't see anything wrong with having sex at your age. I do think you'd regret sleeping with random people though. I lost my virginity to a girl I'd just met at 16 and that's the only time I've really regretted having sex

[TripleAce]

Depends if you end up being too old because your waiting for the perfect moment

there's not really a perfect moment... you'll wait so long and it won't even be all that amazing.

Iv known some girls who wait tooo long and I noticed some personality issues with them... there's at time for everything and not exploring something that starts at 15 all the way until 30 takes a piece of you

[Shaft50]

Well, it would be a toss up between regretting not being sexual active when young, to having some pride in yourself for doing what you felt was right at the time... don't let society pressure you into doing it. If you are going to do it, do it for you...

[hypno-trip]

You know I haven't sex yet even at my age till 25 and I honestly feel nothing missing. It is my own personal choice + my reclusive personality. I want to be a mature established person first before that stuff personally. You have your whole life to enjoy things don't feel rushed to do everything in the beginning.

[Princessofpersia]

Proud of u finally a decent dude not ashamed of anything!!

[ComDom]

I will write a take on this shortly. In the meantime I would suggest you think carefully about it. I would also suggest you try to get married earlier rather than later if you plan to do so at all. BUT do not force it. Just keep your eyes open.

[rHoLb]

I think so. Most guy friends that I know would much rather be active with someone younger. Hence the reason why most older guys go with t]younger partners.

[matheus_mb]

Probably you will. I don't mean sex with different people tough. When you're young you have more energy and maybe more nice ideas. So, yeah, probably you will.

[John_Doesnt]

As a woman probably. I've a few bad experiences sleeping with older women who were virgins. It's never good and it makes the relationship really awkward. Just try not to scare your guy the first time by making him think you're delicate.

[Anonymous]

I do regret not pursuing sexual activity (perhaps not intercourse) more when younger.

But male and female regrets around sex tend to differ. I'd pay more attention to what the women say.

[Mesonfielde]

Yes and no, I'd feel bad about myself if I had sex with someone who didn't meet my standards.

[winged_anna]

I think you'll be happier if you save sex for your husband. Think about: does a random guy, who you very well may break up with, deserve the precious gift of your body? Love your husband before you meet him--save sex for him!

[Toad-1]

I sure hope not, cause then it may make you do something like losing it to someone whom you do not want to. Then you probably will live with regret.

[Bandit74]

I wonder the same thing :/

[Gummybearlover]

I guess everyone has there own view on things and then other times no idea

[Bandit74]

I feel like I'm waaaay behind everyone else.

[Gummybearlover]

Same

[Mesonfielde]

You guys should clearly make out

[Princessofpersia]

U have ur whole life to do that but a little while to be young and a girl

[Roadcruiser1]

Take your time, and don't rush it. I am 21, and I am still a virgin,

[CootiesInfection]

short answer, yes. long answer, yes, you will.

Sexual dysfunction only gets worse as age.

I regret not doing it sooner. But I am a guy.
