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.

If you’re supervising and coaching your kids on sex you’ve taken helicopter parenting too far lol

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.

You sound trashy. No wonder..

After marriage.

This is the only correct answer. What is wrong with Americans?

In my country, the children wait for the s*x until after we parents find them a suitable mate and they become married. It should be the same way here.

So, doesn’t sound like your home country is European. India?

We don’t have enough space to list all that is wrong with India.

I find this extremely rude and also insulting. Your comment is racist too.

Better to have figured out some stuff in a more controlled environment in my opinion.

I wouldn't encourage HS sex but this sounds an ok compromise age 17-18 and they are off to college. No serious relationships until age 21+ especially for boys as their brains are still maturing.

Age 18.

I do recommend to my boys to hold off and point to brain science.

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

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.

Hey sweetie, plenty of people don't believe in God. If you want to miss out on great sex and put all your eggs in one basket, that's cool but only 6% of Americans wait until their wedding night. So you are in the minority

I lost mine in junior year of high school and was pretty much the last of my friends. I just don't get why parents harp on this. If they want to, they will find a way and no amount of what you say is going to make them reconsider. I rather my kids be honest.

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

My parents had no input and nothing to do with when I first had sex.

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".

Depends on the maturity level of the people involved.
12-16 was normal for about 60% of my graduating class. Maybe 10% or less graduated virgins, unless they were just very discreet. Girls tend to have sex about 2 years earlier than boys on average, mostly because girls tend to date boys 2 years older than them in Jr. High and High School.

Are you from New York? Because this is not normal.

Are you saying people from New York are not normal? Define normal.

Where on earth did you grow up? Not normal at all. Part of the 10% here, as were all but one girl in my 8-person friend group in high school.

Maybe being a wallflower or socially awkward had something to do with your inability to get a boy. Don't let it bother you. A higher % of boys graduate virgins than women, so there's that to help reassure you as well.

"What you don't know won't hurt you", at least not in this case. Don't fret about it. Don't ask either.
