My boyfriend (16) and I (15) have been dating for eight months we really are in love with each other but is it too soon? Or are we too young? We've talked about it A LOT. We know what protection to use and everything and we know neither of us have an STD.

Well as long as you know you're ready and prepared, then no its not too soon. sadly, me and my bf had sex two months after dating. but we're still together after a year and i dont regret it.
Just be careful, use protection, and be smart about it.

Sex is something only you and your boyfriend can decide on, it comes down to the two of you to decide when, where, and how. The only thing us outsiders can tell you is be safe and use protection EVERY time. The internet is a tool for information so look up sexual health topics on medical sites and such. Eight months is a large chunk of time to have gone in such a sexually driven climate so for that I applaud you.

As much as you dont wanna hear this... haha but it is tottalllyyy up to you. If youre ready... you'll know sure you want advice though. thats normal i just asked like the same question but me and my boyfriend have only been dating for 3 months... and i dont think thats too soon but weve also been friends since 4th grade and now were juniors in HS. but your situation does seem safe and prepared dont forget you can always change your mind. your guy seems trustworthy and nice so i dont think hed get mad either

honestly i think that if you are completely ready for it and you guys have talked about it and he is gonna treat you right afterwards than i would say that its okayy. just be extremely careful.

I just want to tell you that I had sex at the age of 16 with someone who I had dated for a year. I do regret having sex because I believe I was way too young. I'd say if you were really ready you wouldn't be asking others for their opinions, because I think deep down you want either someone telling you it's not right, or you want someone to justify what you are doing is right.

i think it's completely up to you and both yours and his maturity levels
if you're both completely ready to face any consequences that may occur
than go for it, it's your choice. i lost my virginity to an ex boyfriend
he told me he loved me, then after i gave myself to him he left me.
i don't regret it though, just another thing to learn from.

I'm with someone but better and more mature now thankfully. =]

Only you can decide if it's too soon. But, be advised that young love can put blinders on you. How do you know for SURE that he doesn't have an STD? This may come as a shocker, but guys lie. I'm not trying to be sarcastic, but seriously take a step back and make sure. STDs are pretty common. DEFINITELY use protection!

Well, my boyfriend is 15, and so am i. and we have had sex with each other. but been together for 5 months. we KNOW our feelings for each other. just, if you are positive of your feelings, and you KNOW that you want to be together, intimacy will make things sometimes better :). But stay protected. things could happen in a blink of an eye.

Abercrombiechik, if you don't mind my asking, how do you know your feelings for each other? What's going to happen if you both get into different colleges? What happens if it turns out one of you is not faithful to the other. How do you know he didn't know he had herpes and gave it to you? I'm not asking these questions to be mean, but I'm coming from a different perspective. I'm not under the swell of teenage hormones any more, so I have a little more clarity -- again, not to be mean, but physically when you're 15 you are in the midst of the second biggest hormone surge in your lifetime.
Also, did you know that condoms do not protect against herpes? Herpes occurs many times in the areas around the condom. And then it stations in the bottom of your spine. You may have even gotten it from his mouth, if he had a cold sore (which is what a cold sore is, herpes). Also, you can get herpes in your eye, so if you get an outbreak, wash your hands a lot!

MissCherie she said they know their feelings she never stated their feelings would never change so what is your point? Where in the hell did you even get the part about herpes? Needed something else to ramble on about?

There was big discussion about another member having herpes in another thread. Guess I carried the conversation over here. I replied in a lot of forums that day.
Even still, the subject applies. STDs can spread orally. People are capable of denial. Look at the stories of girls who denied they were pregnant right up until they gave birth in the bathroom at their prom. Basically I say if you're sexually active with multiple partners, the only way you can be sure is if you get checked. Boyfriends and girlfriends lie. Don't rely on just their word alone.

Agreed. Next time keep other forums in there respective places and don't bleed them through.
