  2. Well I have recently had sex for the first time and i'm 17, i was on the pill for 1 and a half months and had been with my boyfriend for 5 months. Im glad i did it with someone i feel comfortable with but i didnt enjoy it that much and i think there is a lot of hype about sex when its not needed.”

  3. Hiya, i would just like to say it is utterly wrong (in my opinion)having sex just for the sake of it.
    i mean my best friend was 13 when she lost her viginity (her friends including my self were supportive) and it was a total mistake! she was pressured into doing it and i really do recommend YOU being in a steady,loving,truth ful
    relationship otherwise it will probably end up in tears im sorry to say.
    Im 15 and am proud to be a virgin, i have a lovely bunch of friends who support oneanother in what ever we do and the majority of them are still V which makes it easier for my self.

    SO....do not race into things, be strong willed and take pride in your self/body , dont let anybody take advantage! ”

  4. i personally think that being 13 is far to young and as the woman said it was nothing to be proud of saying i am now 15 and i still dont feel ready to have sex”

After I done it I felt happy and pleased that I had done it and good but I didn't feel like I needed to do it again anytime soon…”
