I am 15 and I love my boyfriend. Recently, he has been getting boners a lot, and I have been getting thoughts about having sex with him. Please help, I want to know if it is an OK age. Anything will help! Thanks!

If by having sex with your boyfriend you mean sexual intercourse, then you have to ask yourself if it is okay for you to have a baby at your age. Are you prepared for that? Because the only method of birth control that is 100% effective is abstinence.

Does your boyfriend have a job, is he working to support a baby ?
Of course 15 or 16 year old boys get sexually excited, they do that often just during the day even when they day dream.
That does not mean they are emotionally ready, and mature enough to be having sex.
If you really love him, respect yourself and just date.

15 is not an "okay" age to have sex. Your body is not done growing yet and isn't prepared to handle a pregnancy.

If he's not old enough to have a job, how will you pay for the baby you would have if you were to have sex?

So you need to talk to your mom, ask her if it is OK with her for you to have sex and will she take care of the baby if you get pregnant.

My mother would prefer I was abstinant and it is not easy to speak to her about this stuff, but I will try. Thank you

So think about this. Like your Aunt, if you were to be a teen mother you would expect your mother to raise it? Is that fair to your mother? Is it fair that you are making decisions for her?
This would not be her baby, it would be yours. It would be your responsibility, not your mother's.
I deliver babies for a living, would you like me to tell you the dangers of being pregnant at your age?

Im 16 And Still A Virgin.. And Honestly You Shouldn't Have Sex.. There Are Too Many Consequences To Deal With At A Young Age. Pregnancy, STIs And Other Things. And You Don't Want To End Up With A Broken Heart Because After You Have Sex He Decides He Doesn't Want to Be With You Anymore.. Sex Makes The Heart Grow! And You Don't Want To Regret Anything. And If You Do Decide To Have Sex.. THINK SMART And Rap That **** Up.. Sex Isn't Going Out of Style NO Time Soon So You Could Wait And He Doesn't Want To Wait.. Tell His *** To Find Him A New Girl -BayBaysAister
