What is sex and how do u know when ur ready for it

No worries; this isn't a weird question. I just need to caution you that my answer is based only on my experience and is hetero.

Sex is sharing your body with someone else, allowing them to enter you and give you pleasure. It involves passionate kissing and touching with a mutual goal of finding ways to heighten each others pleasure. Usually orgasm is the result, but not always.

Deciding when you're ready is the trickier part. I was crazy horny when I was about 15, but I didn't have sex until I was 18, and that was mainly because no one was interested in me! That is true, but more seriously, I was with someone I trusted (I ended up marrying him) and we had dated for nearly a year before we had sex. Well, we had plenty of oral sex up to that point, but I was afraid of the pain of vaginal sex. It hurt, but it wasn't as bad as I had feared.

The take away? I wouldn't be in a rush to have sex at your age; there is more to learn about, and I think you should be comfortable with yourself first. Please remember that you can get pregnant your first time, so researching birth control methods is essential. Hope this helped.

If you don't know what sex is then your not old enough to be on here and people would think your an idiot.

Ummm you can have sex at any age, consensual or legal or not... and sex includes masurbation (self pleasure but without a partner so it is just sex with yourself, lol, and many of us do not count that...) and there is oral sex as well as other orifices...love or not, marriage or not, but CONDOM yes... and other SAFE SEX... I think a person should really be old enough to accept the consequences and mature enough to handle things, (idk-I guess that differs for all of us)... and that could be anything from a baby, to a STD to marriage to a break up. So many times one person is used just for sex. I think a person should be old enough to be able to understand that concept, and old enough to accept responsibility for their behavior. Your body will be ready and let you know probably before you are "emotionally" capable.

Good Luck.
It can be scary and an adventure... hope you are safe and make good choices.

jester covered the "what is sex" part, but as to the how to know when you're ready...you'll know you're ready when you don't have to ask someone else's opinion on the matter. If you have to ask someone else if they think it's time that you have sex, you're clearly not ready and not confident in your decision.
