I was sixteen.

16. If they have a driver's licence/job and are in a relationship. If they don't have a driver's license they are too immature, also vulnerable to grooming

Please try not to normalize pedophilia for younger generations.

Not that anon, but "pedophilia" is attraction to pre-pubescent children. 17 is not a pre-pubescent child, it is an adult, and even in this feminist day and age is still "legal age for sexual relationships" in 40 states of the USA.

Just a few generations ago a female who was not married by the age of 16-17 was called an "old maid" or "spinster". Just because people are maturing emotionally more slowly these days, doesn't make adults now "children".

Not true.

I’d personally prefer college, but I’ve read some posts here say they’d prefer high school so they can supervise, support and coach their kids.

After marriage.

I’m going with this one as well.

And not because you’ll “go to hell” for not waiting. It’s still my child’s choice—and God will love her regardless.
But God has a purpose and plan for designing sex to be experienced within that covenant relationship. It’s a beautiful physical expression of two coming together as one. No morning-after regret. No angst of insecurity with whether he will call afterward, no pregnancy “scare” or crisis of circumstance, just love and comfort and safety and warmth and overwhelming joyful feeling of giving to each other and belonging to one another for eternity.

Sure—there are other ways to experience a sexual relationship. But God wants His best for us and instructs that physical intimacy is deliberately designed for marriage.

Marry young because horny.

Miserable marriage and/or divorce when you mature into adults and realize you are terrible for each other.

OR

Be frustrated and miserable for years not having sex

Gross.
Just because no one supervised your childhood which obviously led to age-inappropriate actions at such a young age doesn’t mean you need to try to normalize this for everyone else’s kids.
Just no.

16 is the average age PP

There is nothing gross about it. Sex is great and I’m not gonna lie, teen sex was insanely good. I lost my v card at 15 and no regrets.

I would never shame my teens so long as it’s consensual and they use protection.

Yeah, I don't get it. 16yrs old is the average so many do it before and many do it after. It doesn't really matter and it doesn't define you. My main concern is SA and having my daughters avoid it. Of course I want them to wait until they are ready but otherwise no shaming.

No desire to marry so one doesn’t get to experience sex (not ok with this message!)

Only if you were a hillbilly
25 is more inline with those terms even at the beginning of the 20th century.

Still, PP

Also the fact that you got this wrong, makes me think you're a man trying to justify getting with an "adult" 16year old.

No this is incorrect. My children would never do such things before the marriage. We do not allow this.

This isn’t Jeopardy…there is no incorrect answer.

I’ll take things that never happened for $500, Alex.
