Blunt question: were you sexually active at 14?

As you know I'm not a pervy hairy-handed trucker.

Hopefully you will feel able to answer.

If you were sexually active at 14, can you say anything about why?

Yes. With same age boyfriend, all very consensual and fun.

ChippingInLatteLover · 11/10/2014 21:33

14 lots of kissing and pushing against each other fully clothed then progressing onto a lot of intimate touching - well being touched, I didn't want to touch him (lol). First piv sex at 16 (with a different bf).

ChippingInLatteLover · 11/10/2014 21:34

Oh and not because I wouldn't 'do it' just because he moved away :(

Giraffeski · 11/10/2014 21:34

Oh and didn't lose my virginity till I was 17

I had sex two weeks before my 16th birthday with a boy i'd been dating for at least a year (so had been doing everything but up until then). I was actually ready and he admitted after he probably wasn't and would have waited longer. Was a lovely first time though and we stayed together until age 18. I realise now how few people had a great 'first time'.
Young doesn't always mean bad, although appreciate not as young as 14.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 11/10/2014 21:35

No, I was a late starter, never even snogged till I was 17. That old saying about "boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses" seemed to be true for me, as soon as I got contact lenses at 17 a whole new world opened up. It was a long time ago, glasses were pretty hideous back then.

I have bipolar and lost my virginity on my first manic episode just after my 13th birthday. In the first week alone of my manic episode I slept with four boys one of which was 23 Angry. I got quite a name for myself and I secerely regret every one of the boys I slept with up until age 17 who happened to be the first boy I slept with outside of a episode and is now DH.

BertieBotts · 11/10/2014 21:37

No I wasn't, I was only just starting to be interested in boys at that age. Didn't have a boyfriend until 16 1/2 though, which was quite upsetting!

ByTheWishingWell · 11/10/2014 21:38

Yes, I lost my virginity at 13 to my boyfriend who was the same age. We stayed together for a couple of years, and were more sexually active and adventurous than I am now. We broke up when we were 15 and, maybe to get my own back or show I wasn't hurting I slept with a 30 year old man. I genuinely believed I was an adult I think. Sad

I don't regret losing my virginity so young, because he was my first love, and it was special in a way. I feel quite sick and creeped out thinking of the older guy though.

InAndOfMyself · 11/10/2014 21:39

Yes and younger too. I was sexually abused at a very young age and a psychologist would probably say I was seeking validation and self worth through sexual activity.

Why are you asking?

PlantsAndFlowers · 11/10/2014 21:39

No, still playing with Sindy dolls at that age! Blush

Not till I was 18/19. That seemed terribly late at the time, but with hindsight was exactly right!

Penfold007 · 11/10/2014 21:41

No I wasn't.

kirsten123 · 11/10/2014 21:41

I didn't even kiss a boy til nearly 18 (not for want of trying!) but I was a geek at school.

Then slept with someone when I was nearly 19. I was going to "save" myself but it didn't work out like that!

Only had 3 "full" partners at age 31. But quite a few where I did "other stuff".

No way!

No. Hadn't had my first kiss at 14.

Surelyknot · 11/10/2014 21:42

no. would have been terrified.

Smartiepants79 · 11/10/2014 21:43

Nope. Not even remotely interested.
I was over 20 before I was.

Stealthpolarbear · 11/10/2014 21:43

No. A long way off.

SweetsForMySweet · 11/10/2014 21:43

Definitely not at 14! I had a boyfriend but definitely wasn't ready to be sexually active. I didn't feel "ready" or able to deal with the potential consequences such as unplanned pregnancy or stds.

LikeSilver · 11/10/2014 21:45

No. I was at 15 though. I was perfectly aware of what I was doing and don't regret it. I don't know what I would have done if the opportunity had arisen at 14 - I don't think I'd necessarily have been opposed to it.

OsMalleytheCat · 11/10/2014 21:46

I lost my virginity age 14, he was a fair bit older with a pregnant long term gf (who was 15) - can't say it concerns me too much though..

Bicnod · 11/10/2014 21:47

First proper kiss and a bit of fumbling at 14. Didn't do the deed until 16 with a (different) long term boyfriend.
