Teen Advice Forum Quotables: Teens Talk About Sex
Quotables from teens about sex off of the Teen Advice Forums

From , former About.com Guide

I think you should honestly wait. Why? Because you are obviously in doubt about the whole thing. When your ready, you will know, because there will be very little or no doubt. Things like worrying if it'll hurt your relationship are red flags that you need to wait longer. It doesen't sound like you two have been together for long either. Don't rush sex, there's plenty of time for that.

I agree totally. Sex does not make a relationship stronger, contrary to what some teens think. I actually thing that it makes a relationship weaker if the couple has sex too soon. However, I do believe that if both people in the relationship are ready, then why wait?

Not what you expect! Not for me anyways. It didn't hurt, but it didn't feel good either. Honestly, sex is over rated. Having sex doesn't hit any of the spots that your body is sensitive to. And if you are considering sex, make sure your first time is with someone who you really love.

Sex should not drastically change your relationshiop: be it for the worse or better. Sex should never be a huge part of one's relationship, and if the subject continually comes up, there may be a problem there. > > >
Bottom line: if you don't want to, DON'T. If he keeps pressuring you even after you've said no or that you want to think about it, dump him and find someone who isn't so obsessed with sex. Sex is fun but only if you're ready!

I really wouldn't want to loose my virginity in a one night stand. There's going to be strong emotional bonds, guy or girl, and this can lead to a very troubling situation.

I think that yes to a certain extent that teenagers should go out and have fun while you're young. To me that involves going to school dances, football games, parties so on and so forth. Sex is not something given out at random. Sex is suppose to be meaninful. I don't think that teenagers today think of it that way. They think of it as a pleasurable experience. Sure it is but there are emotions attached to that.

Well, since basically everyone else has disagreed with what you just said I must say that I also agree that I think it's best to wait until you get married to have sex.

I think that a guy being a virgin is pretty cool. Some guys that aren't virgins and have already had sex usually only have mainly one thing on their mind, and I know a couple girls like that too. I personally wanna wait until I know I want to loose my virginity and I think it would be really nice if I could find a guy that felt the same way, because then I wouldn't have to worry about trying to get pressured into having sex.
