Are/were you sexually active(as a teenager): No. Unless... you go by what my health teacher said "Skin to Skin contact is being sexually active! Kissing is included!"
If kissing means you are sexually active... Oh my god. Not only was I extremely active with my gf, then... AGH! CHILDHOOD RUINED!

Do you think teens should/shouldn't engage in sexual activities: Personally, I think teens should only be engaging into sexual activities IF THEY HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR A FEW YEARS AND/OR THEY HAVE THEIR FEELINGS BECOME TRUE AND PURELY GENUINE AND IF THEY ARE PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND MENTALLY READY first. I am a...hardcore "Don't mix lust with love" kind of guy. Girls at my school don't listen to this, and naturally, there is always at least ONE pregnancy scare. And it's your typical story... The guy walks out, the girl goes through Hell... They barely knew each other for a month... Same old shit. I have known my girlfriend for TWO, ALMOST THREE YEARS before we started dating. We have pure, genuine feelings for one another. However, we are not sure if we are ready for sex yet, so we are waiting a little longer.

TL;DR: Teens should only engage in sexual activities once they have created a true, very strong bond between them and until they have prepared themselves for it on a Mental, Physical, and Emotional level.

Are you against premarital sex: Although I'd like to wait till marriage, sometimes... it just doesn't happen. So, no. I'm not. This especially goes out for LGBT couples... as they can't even get married in most states.

Did/do you use condoms/birth control (If you were/are active): Never had sex, so I wouldn't know. But if I was sexually active, yes. I'd use a condom every time.

Is there a 'right' age for sex: Honestly, I think it all depends on the level of maturity and emotional stability...rather than the age. If I had to give a number, I'd say at least 17 or 18. Maybe even 16, depending on the person. But like said, it's the stability and preparation that matters most. There are 30 year men who still aren't mature and stable enough to handle it.

How old were you when you started: Never had sex.

Do you think sex ed should be taught: Yes... I do. Although you may not agree with the "Wait until Marriage" concept, you still do need to be aware of the potential consequences and traumas you might face. STDs are pretty damn important to go over. You can't really blame the class if your teacher gives out falsehoods/ heavily opinionated tirades. It's not the subject's fault. The subject is just the topic.


Do you think regular STD checks are important: YES. I think your partner has the right to know if you are clean and disease free. Don't make your partner suffer with you.

Do/did you trust your partner: Never had sex with my girlfriend...but after knowing her for almost three years as a best friend... Yes. I trust her with my life. We going to go into a long distance relationship due to her going to be a freshman in college... but I believe that we can hold it all together.

Any other feelings/opinions not previously expressed: I am not against Pre-Martial sex. I'm against the idiots who use sex as a driver for their relationships. Sex should be something that is supposed to be sacred and almost beautiful between the two partners. It should not be used to keep your failing relationship from sinking. It should be something that takes it to the next level.

And like said, Don't mix up lust with love. If you love someone...get to know them first for a while. Make sure that the feelings are mutual and GENUINE.

Sex doesn't equal love. If your partner isn't ready, don't force it. Go at a pace you both are comfortable at...so that when sex does come around, the two of you are stable and ready for it. Now, please don't RUSH IT. Don't say you're ready for sex when you aren't. Be yourself!

Are/were you sexually active(as a teenager):
No, I am not.

Do you think teens should/shouldn't engage in sexual activities:
I think it depends on the emotional and mental maturity of the couple. If they can handle it and take birth control measures, then go ahead.

Are you against premarital sex:
No
Did/do you use condoms/birth control (If you were/are active):
I am not active and never have been, but I do take birth control for medical reasons. I will continue it should I ever become active.
Is there a 'right' age for sex:
No, I believe that everyone matures differently. Some may be ready at 16; others may not ever be ready. It depends on the person.

How old were you when you started:
Never did.

Do you think sex ed should be taught:

YES oh my gosh yes. I know it's an embarrassing topic to some, but honestly, if you're not mature enough to handle sex education, you shouldn't be engaging in it.
Do you think regular STD checks are important:
YES.

Do/did you trust your partner:
I trust my partner completely.

Any other feelings/opinions not previously expressed:

Are/were you sexually active(as a teenager): I'm still a teenager, however I am not active, nor do I have an interest in ever being active.

Do you think teens should/shouldn't engage in sexual activities: Both yes and no. If they are mentally, emotionally, and physically prepared for sex and it's possible outcomes, then so be it. If not, they have no business having sex.

Are you against premarital sex: Doesn't really matter to me. As I said as long as you're ready, go ahead.

Did/do you use condoms/birth control (If you were/are active): Not active... so yeah. I do use birth control however, though it is for my severe menstrual cramps. Nothing else worked, so I was forced to be on it, or suffer unbearable pain for 3-4 days.

Is there a 'right' age for sex: Not necessarily. Some people are ready when they're young, some when they're older. However I do not think anybody should ever have sex at or before 14 years old. The mind simply isn't developed enough to comprehend the consequences of sex.

How old were you when you started: Not active.

Do you think sex ed should be taught: Yes. People seem to think of sex ed as this 'hush-hush' subject reserved for parent-to-child. Which is absolutely ridiculous.

Do you think regular STD checks are important: Yes, if you change partners.

Do/did you trust your partner: I have none.

Any other feelings/opinions not previously expressed: Nope.

Are/were you sexually active(as a teenager):Nope and still not.

Do you think teens should/shouldn't engage in sexual activities: Well here is a tricky one. Some people mature faster than others. If they feel they are truely ready for it, why not. Forced, its a no go.

Are you against premarital sex:No, when you decide to be with a person for a long time (personally I would say for the rest of your life, but with today's society....) its best to know the person's good and bad sides. This will avoid problems later on. If your just getting married to have your first time, your marrying for the wrong reasons.

Did/do you use condoms/birth control (If you were/are active): When I start, I will. Personally I hate kids, so I don't even want to risk getting one on accident. But the most important reason is that there is just to much you can infect your partner with while you yourself arn't visible ill.

Is there a 'right' age for sex: There is no right age for anything. Personally I would say to wait till your 21 when your brain is as mature as it can be. But as I mentioned earlier, some people are mature before their brain is fully matured. I'm sticking to the right age is when its the right time for you. Don't follow some one elses needs or time.

How old were you when you started: Will most likely tell you when I start. So far, I have barely time to sleep, let alone to get a life.

Do you think sex ed should be taught: Middle school. But not start with the do's and don't right away. Leave them in their value and teach them facts. Never forget that todays kids can find things on the net their parents never even dreamed of doing. But most important, parents should take a important part in this aswell. In class the risk of some kids running rampant and pushing the entire class this way or that, is pretty big.

Do you think regular STD checks are important: Yes, many of the STD's arn't always visible. Not to mention that the only things you can bring over are STD's. We all have our own microbe flora and going down with someone can cause ones flora to grow instable, leaving the person open to more ilnesses that you can currently dream off.

Do/did you trust your partner: Have to meet the person first.

Any other feelings/opinions not previously expressed: For those who wish to learn about the subject, the net can give a very onesided view on it. So for new idea's, yes you can check, but never believe your a wacko or disgusting because you like it one way or are attracted to something differnt
Just be yourself, feel good while doing it and most importantly, don't harm some one else with your preferences.

I keep seeing people post about the topic of Casual sex, or sex without knowing the person. Humans are sexual beings, and we are biologically suited to have sex for pleasure. I don't agree with myself sleeping with a bunch of people I don't know, but I know people who do, and I think it's unfair to say "If you've known them for a long time," Because some people really do just want to have sex. I have nothing against that. That's all really, not feeling very eloquent today X3

I know humans are one of the rare mammals who have sex for pleasure.
Some like it more than others and that is fine. As long as they know and trust the person.
Yes there are people who like the thrill of bedding someone they will only see once and never again.
Call it part of the game.

Those who choose to should have fun. But should be more carefull. Multiple partners means more chance of getting an illness.
Aslong as they are carefull, know what they are doing and have fun with it. Who am I to judge it to be wrong or right.
There is no true wrong and right when dealing with other humans.

I definitely agree with this. There's nothing wrong with casual sex or one-night stands. If that's your fancy, then go for it! Just be smart about it is all I think. Use protection, if you can see about a recent STD test of theirs.

I personally can't have sex with a stranger because of worry of STDs but if I didn't have that? Totally would. Had "sex" with a girl the first time I met her because we had spoke online for some months. That's the closest I've come but female-female transmission rates tend to also be stupid low.
