hmm.. granted this is probably old news to most of you, but to me it's new, as I haven't checked my friends page in a while, therefore I'm posting a response despite it being a few days old

how is becoming sexually active any more of a life altering stage then, say, learning a new language, or visiting a foreign country? Would you wait to do those so that the feeling would be extra special? We're only teenagers, there's still a lot of big firsts in front of most of us. Why wait? it's not as if you can use up all the new experiences and not get any more, there will always be other amazing moments, other 'life changing' experiences. Falling in love, now, THAT is something I would say one should wait for. It complicates things and closes doors at a young age. (usually. there are always exceptions, of course)
don't be naive, of course you close doors. it's called 'compromise'. You both make consesions, thats what love is. And in my opinion, everyone should have some time in their life to be selfish. It's healthy, keeps you from having regrets later. Therefore, I think that in most circumstances, people should enjoy being relatively emotionally unattached for a while.
I have trouble on this concept, as is mentioned at the end of my twelfth entry. My religious side says wait till marriage if for nothing but to please God. My scientific side says wait for someone you can really trust, just for both emotional and social reasons. Even though by this age people should have some kind of control over their emotions. *interlude* my cat is asleep and dreaming, and freaking out on her back right next to my keyboard *end*
I agree with him on the scientific side. Trust is important; sure, some people may just consider it a fun experience or something, but I wouldn't want to go skydiving without a parachute - it keeps you intact for further attempts.
oh I certainly don't think it should be done totally at whim, people have to be informed and safe, and part of being safe is knowing and trusting your partner (but not ALL of being safe. use a condom you stupid people, babies are ugly wrinkled monkeys that leak from every orifice, you don't want to be stuck with one!)
