I say middle of high school - sophmore/junior year-ish. Don't have good and logical arguments for it. That's just what seems about right.

Talk about sex here.

*Looks at title*

....Well, if you insist.

But seriously, get it on whenever you want, but be prepared to accept the consequences.

I voted "Senior".

BP · « **Reply #2 on:** October 28, 2008, 05:28:15 PM »

I voted "after you learn how to spell sophomore."

MaxVance · « **Reply #3 on:** October 28, 2008, 05:44:29 PM »

I'm sure you all know which option I picked.

I'm guessing the same thing BP picked?

Never?

WarpRattler · « **Reply #6 on:** October 28, 2008, 07:26:42 PM »

Yeah, probably never, because MaxVance is afraid of girls.

I'm not voting on this poll, but I'm holding off until marriage. I subscribe to the whole "only 100% prevention is abstinence" theory, since Kalee has another year of school after this one...also religion.

I voted senior, which might be the age in which people are mature enough to do it smartly or something.

I'm hesitant to vote, but I'd say "when both partners are completely consenting, know what they're getting into, and have taken all neccesary measures to prevent anything undesirable from occuring as a result".

nensondubois · « **Reply #9 on:** October 28, 2008, 08:06:22 PM »

I'm a senior and I haven't done it yet. My friend has done it several times and he's a junior... I'm jealous that he finds girls so easy.

Mr. Wiggles · « **Reply #10 on:** October 28, 2008, 08:08:59 PM »

I say whenever the couple feels they're ready, which doesn't necessarily mean that they completely thought it out and/or are fully aware of the responsibility they will carry should they end up having a child.

I just want them to quit complaining everytime they realize they threw away their future for a couple moments of pleasure. I am not a free psychologist.

Markio · « **Reply #11 on:** October 28, 2008, 08:26:30 PM »

I voted post-marriage only because hey, I'm old-fashioned. I think sex ought to be respected and not flung around like some casual activity.

But from a non-religious standpoint, I might have said college, because it is a much larger part of American culture to have sex throughout college than in high school. I think high school is a little premature-I mean, I don't think many relationships can really develop to a point where sex is appropriate to supplement their other intimate activities.

I don't think age is the real issue when it comes to having sex. I think sex done without proper protection or understanding of the consequences is inexcusable. I also think early sexual promiscuity leads to a lack of appreciation for sex between those in a pure, intimate relationship.

I'm probably not a credible source though, I'm a virgin. Which shouldn't be such a big deal in our culture! Besides, I'm uncomfortably gay, like I'm going to run out and... well, have sex.

Though I mainly picked it as a comedy option, you are both correct. The truth of the matter is that I've never bothered to look into social interaction enough to figure out what time is the right time.

Bigluigifan1.0 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 28, 2008, 09:21:04 PM »

I enjoy social interaction, but I don't care for boyfriend-girlfriend relations.

I don't think I'm in any position as a junior in high school to have any kind of girlfriend relationship. A real future in a career should come before marital/girlfriend commitment. I do plan on having some kind of a family and a wife, but I've decided it would be within my best interest to hold off those relations until I can actually provide for a family in some way.

This doesn't have too much to do with the topic, but I think it's sort of obvious I went for post-marriage.

Glorb · « **Reply #14 on:** October 28, 2008, 09:51:44 PM »

Though I have yet Insert Tab A Into Slot B, as they say, my girlfriend and I have had talks about it (though not using that exact terminology). I know a friend who's done it several times before, even once at my house (which was a little awkward), and, to be honest, I'm kinda worried for her since she treats it the same way you'd treat a round of Halo or something.

bobman37 · « **Reply #15 on:** October 28, 2008, 10:08:56 PM »

Religion tells-- nay, commands-- me to wait.

Regardless, I think you should wait anyway. A high schooler or college student may be old enough to understand it and do it correctly, but he is BY NO MEANS old enough to raise a kid, because GLHF when your condom breaks. Having intercourse before marriage is just stupid.

I was going to type out a long speech about how you should wait until after marriage for numerous reasons but then I realized; do I really have to worry about people on a Mario fansite forum having sex?

Insane Steve · « **Reply #19 on:** October 29, 2008, 12:43:16 PM »

This varies depending on the person, and I can totally see myself, for at least one person I know, picking each of the high school or later options.

Religion aside, I feel that post marriage is the best way to be sure that a marriage will work in the first place. And if you don't want to get married, then you probably don't have enough emotional maturity to bear/raise children-- you see where this logic is going?

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #21 on:** October 29, 2008, 09:34:44 PM »

Why are you people so obsessed with kids? It's not that hard to avoid them.

If we were always perfectly in control of this result, then I'd be happy. Not because people would be completely free to mock the closeness intercourse can create, but because there'd be less unexpected-- perhaps unwanted children.

/!\ RELIGIOUS STUFF ZONE /!\

From what I recall, the Christian/Judaic argument is that intercourse is somehow holy and involves the joining of a man and woman to create a temple for God, just as was intended from the get-go. I kind of understand it-- and kind of don't at the same time. It's rather nice from a romantic standpoint, I think.

I also recall that marriage as a formal institution is not originally required by Judaic values, but monogamy is: as intercourse results in this aforementioned joining, they are recognized as joined by God and hence married: "Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." This troubling (in any age) concept appears all over the Bible, in old and new testaments. Somewhat amusingly, Jesus's disciples complained, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry." Thus, I think the creation of marriage was more of a necessary thing to provide some sort of peer pressure for couples to be faithful to each other.

I still support post-marriage, though, as people aren't "forever faithful" at the drop of a hat. Or belt.

Trainman · « **Reply #27 on:** November 01, 2008, 10:26:57 PM »

Eh, I voted sophomore-junior year. If you don't want a kid, but want to have sex.... then learn how to protect yourself.... and last, I guess.... Guys, if you get a girl pregnant, you make [edit] sure you don't leave the girl because that wouldn't be right in any way. If you have a kid, I will forever hate you eternally if you decide upon an abortion. Don't put the blame on the kid just because of your idiot moves.... if you can't afford the kid, have them adopted; there ought to be a married couple somewhere in the country that wants a kid but can't have a kid themselves.

I was raised in a good family and brought up very well & knew my manners, but I still lost my virginity at 15, the second week of sophomore year. My parents would've kinda tripped on it when I was not legally allowed to be having sex (gotta be 17 in Texas) if they were to figure out I had and for the fact I was a bit young, but nowadays, it's not a problem. They raised me to learn things on my own, and they let me figure the sex deal out. I never had the talk; when I got older we just had the silent understanding that I knew what it was and that they knew it and as long as I was safe and knew the consequences it'd be cool... (exactly how they handled the fact that I dip tobacco, too). Since my first time I've had 3 girlfriends, first one lasted two weeks, nothing happened nor did I want it to, second was six months and she moved away... rarely did anything sexual with her.... and my current girlfriend of two and a half years, Meagan, I've had ugh, I'll say intercourse, lots of times. I really do love her in every way, and she loves me right back and we've had unbreakable love and trust between us for these past 800+ days, so I feel totally okay with having intercourse with her because in all honesty, I think she's my one and she thinks I'm perfect, too. How many girls out there are beautiful & hot, AND like Mario... and AREN'T nerdy/gothy/emo-ish? ahahaha I nabbed one of the best!!!

BTW, Meagan is not pregnant nor do we have a kid.

SolidShroom · « **Reply #28 on:** November 01, 2008, 10:29:50 PM »

I'm not voting, because the correct answer is whenever the time is right. There are even some married adults not responsible enough to have sex.

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #29 on:** November 01, 2008, 10:39:05 PM »

Markio · « **Reply #30 on:** November 01, 2008, 11:27:58 PM »

It sounds sad to say that one of the positive traits of your partner in which you have a deep, personal relationship is that she isn't "emo-ish". I'm sure there's a more clear and mature way of describing someone so close, but the fact that people use words or phrases like that in relationships really point out how premature we really are.

Not that it was an invalid description, it's just such a strange juxtaposition of youth and adulthood.

When it comes to anything Emo, I don't like it. I don't like screamo music, I don't like the style or the dark attitude. I can't stand seeing people who have cut themselves over nothing, saying they're depressed over nothing, and that "no one understands me" because I've had quite a few friends, who went from nice, happy people, to constantly sad, wearing like 10 chains on black rhino pants, with a black shirt, dark eye shadow, saying they wanted to die and hated the world and all this other bullcrap.

So yes, I'm glad that my girlfriend isn't always in a corner all day chanting that she's emo.

But Trainman brings up a good way of looking at things. I'm glad my girlfriend's not mortally wounded, a leper, male, haunted, amputated, psychotic, or clothed.
