im 16 years old.

I think that you shouldn't have sex with someone unless you really love them.
My girlfriend and I recently broke up, and I'm glad we didn't have sex. We got pretty close to it, but now that I look back I'm so glad we didnt. And I loved her, and I still care about her.

So, I guess I'm a virgin... We never had actual intercourse.  ViRginZ 4 LiFe. jk

I still maintain that much of the hell I endured during my adolescence could have been avoided had I been allowed culturally sanctioned "safe" sex at an earlier age.  Say 13 or 14.  The timing is different for everyone, but I think there's far too much pressure these days to delay sexual intercourse till an unnaturally late age.  Some of the reasoning behind wanting to do so is valid, but it didn't keep my urges from basically driving me insane as a younger teenager.  Once I started having sex, my life, including the relationship I had with my family, greatly improved.  I don't think love is necessary for good sexual relations- just a realistic understanding of what each partner is expected to give and receive.  However, some people can never understand sex without love, and for them it would be a mistake.  As I said, it's a pretty individualistic thing and there's no one right answer for everybody.

Virginity is overrated.

Virginity is underrated.

Giving people grief for believing either is utter bullsmurf.

What the hell does that mean?

Anal?  Oral?  Manual stimulation of the genitalia?  Mutual masturbation...

Personally, sex is sex, but yeah, I guess there's different levels.

I'm still a virgin at 17. I've never had a serious relationship, but that's okay. It's not like you need one when you're in high school. Not to say that I'm not eager to mount up, it's just that it doesn't bother me that much. And like Phy said it's dumb to give someone grief about it either way.

Unless, of course, someone is so obsessed with their significant other that they are willing to skip activities with their friends EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND. BRO'S BEFORE HO'S SKYLER, BRO'S BEFORE HO'S

I'd say you should keep being a virgin till some time between 18 and 25, and make love only with a person you're in love with.

Did that.  Still stands as one of the most perfect days of my life.

So how old are your sisters again?

Old enough to think they know better.  Once I get into momma hen mode though...

Two of them are sisters in law and they have my husband protecting them as well.  I've had to rescue my actual sister from sex crazed teenage boys who truly had her convinced that "you can't get pregnant the first time" and that "guys shouldn't stay in relationships without sex." Dear god, castration is too good for them.

If I had a nickel for every thread where my reply was immediately responded to with "pixplzthx"...

Why, I'd have so MANY nickels in my Amazon account.

Lost mine when I was 12, and got caught in the act by my mother. I got a very stern lecture about not having sex, and spent the next decade or so scared of sex. I don't blame my parents or anything, but it kind of screwed me up with girls in high school.

Bah - blame your parents.

lost it in a hotelin rome at age 16. dated the girl i lost it to for over two years. then we broke up and she went crazy. but the sex was good.
