What age would have been ideal for you to lose your virginity?

Question

I lost mine at 15. Not ideal at all. I would’ve felt more comfortable having waited til marriage. If not marriage than 18-21 wouldve been ideal. Preferably sometime in or after college for me. If my kids aren't willing to wait til marriage, i’m going to encourage them to wait til at least 18 and out of HS. I really feel its for the best. #FeelFreeToList #VirginityRocks

I have always wanted to wait until marriage, but I honestly could have seen myself getting married 10 years ago. I just never had any luck with women, and I never got any better with it. You can't get married if you never even go on a first date.

I was hoping the dating sites would work out so I wouldn't have to actually get "game.". (As if that would have even been possible anyway, though.). But I couldn't find any good matches on the free sites and I'm too cheap to pay for the other ones.

I probably would have been good at 16/17 as far as emotional maturity. But I really can't say what would have been "ideal". Started late at 19 years old, so I was fully ready. But looking back I'd of been good emotionally at 17. 15 year old me, not so much.

I lost mine at 20 and that was a fine age for me since I wanted to lose my virginity after I was done high school and was an actual adult. However, even at 20 I still made a dumb decision and lost my virginity to a selfish loser who pressured me into it. So, I guess my age didn't really matter.

I lost mine at 18. It was a good age to lose it, but I wasn`t happy with the person I lost it to. It was just really bad and put sex in a bad light for me. If I had waited a few more months I would have been 19 with my current boyfriend, and that would have been so much better.

Age 19. Right age. Wrong person.

I wish I hadn't lost my virginity because it has jaded my life experiences. I was in pursuit of love making myself available to show my genuine rawness. But they were looking for an easy lay, stringing me along. I realise that my mother and father didn't really help to guide me in life. They taught me not to give it up to just anyone but they didn't teach me how to identify genuine. I'm now at a point in my life where I'm no longer trusting of anyone

I was 15, the age wasn't really the problem but the person. Had I waited till I was 18 there was a much better girl I met who would have been a better first.

Each person is different for me it was 17 and it was more the fact that I was in a long term relationship rather than the actual age that made it seem like the right time

I was 18. Got guilt tripped into it so it wasn’t ideal for me. Wish I would have been stronger and not afraid that he was gonna hit me cause that shit happened anyway. 🙄

I don't think there's an ideal age. When feel comfortable with it is the right time.

In my 20s would have been nice

ShortCircuit · Answer

I would like to lose mine in my mid-20s. Certainly no later than 30. I don't care if it happens before or after marriage as long as the girl I lose my virginity to and the girl I marry are the same girl.

I'm still a virgin and I'm fine with it. I hope to experience sex at least in the next upcoming years for the sake of just being able to experience it and be more knowledgeable, but at the same time I'm not going to desperately throw myself around and lower my standards. If I'm having sex it's for the right reasons.
