Should I go for it or should I wait?

Hi everyone, so I’m a 16 year old girl and I’m tired of being a virgin. I know a lot of guys who want me in bed (not trying to sound conceited) and I’m not quite sure what to do. On one hand I here that sex should be with someone you love and on the other hand, I hear it’s no big deal. I’m just tired of being a little girl but I don’t know if I’ll regret it or not once it’s done. I feel like if I decide what to do now, I won’t panic when the moment comes and do something I’ll regret. What’s the best thing to do? Thanks! XX

That’s a hard one—–get it?—:)
I don’t think being virgin makes you a little girl. Being virgin makes you a virgin.
What makes you a little girl it’s letting your life being run by someone else’s opinion.
Sometimes sex is a big thing, whit some girls, but a think is better to star datting who has interest in you more than with your body. Nothing is going to happen if you don’t have sex like you’re going to die if you don’t have a guy and his penis in you. Let it be.

I think you should just wait. You’re too young and if you start young, it might be harder to stop. Besides, I think you should find a boyfriend first and start at or after you reach 18 years old.

I think it depends on what you, at this moment, feel comfortable with.
If you’re tired of being a virgin, and feel you’re ready to loose your v-plates, then do so. I’ve had girl friends who were comfortable with themselves their sexuality, and don’t regret even the most meaningless encounters.

On the other hand, if you’re even the slightest bit unsure, don’t do it. It’s a personal thing, a personal choice, so don’t feel it’s something that you’ve got to check off your to-do list.

Some decisions are reversible, some are not. As a general rule, make the reversible decisions first, and the irreversible decisions last. For example, you make a cake, get the ingredients out before you crack the eggs. You can always put things back if you find that you don’t have something… until you crack the eggs.

Enjoy being 16 and (relatively) innocent. When you start having sex, relationships get much more intense and that can make things difficult, especially when you break up.

Personally, I’d suggest staying a virgin until you marry. A virgin who knows how to be sexual is an intense turn-on for many of us guys.

There are of course many profane people out there (look at the comments on youtube videos!), but there are also people who care for others.

I hope that you decide to stay a virgin until you marry- it avoids so many complications. Remaining a virgin doesn’t make you a “little girl” in any, but it does partly protect you from the predatorial guys out there.

As a 16 year old, you are likely to have many “crushes” before you decide on the man you want to be with for the rest of your life. Take your time before you give yourself to such a guy.
