When do you think is an 'appropriate' age to start having sex? Is there such a thing as being 'too old' to still be a virgin? There's a lot of stigma around this subject with people (women particularly) being called prudes if they're still virgins and considerably worse names if they have 'too much' sex. What are your opinions?

I think that the appropriate age varies from person to person. I think that how much or how little is not really significant either. Personally what others think of my personal life is not important because it is my life and well don't value everyone's opinion.

I personally think that this is the right way to go about things. As long as you're happy and not hurting anyone or breaking the law, who cares what people think?

@OKennedy Exactly. I don't have an issue with people discussing the subject in general (or I wouldn't have made this post to start with), but people have a fascination with gossiping about others and judging them for things that really aren't anyone's business.

As long as someone is over the age of consent and within the law they should do whatever they want as much as they want and not worry what others think. Or they should be able to not do something without being called a prude.

Even the age of consent differs from country to country and from culture to culture.

It depends on person's harmone s and his/her desires.There is no particular with the age.

There are some religions where some people remain virgin for entire life and serve the god. I think some people don't remain virgin after 18. It all depends on what people want from their life.

Honestly these days I feel like even waiting until 18 is fairly uncommon. It's not a bad thing necessarily, it just seems to be the way of things, especially since the 'legal age' is totally arbitrary (since it's different in different countries)

I think this is such a private thing that there is no rule. One size does not fit all. What is good for one person might not be good for someone else.

But these days it's hardly a private thing any more. Everyone talks about everything to their friends, and a lot of people post things like this on their facebook or their twitter. For a society so tied up in social media and over-sharing, we don't really TALK about things, we just share them

This is not a question that you can answer with a number as it is an individual choice. There is no such a thing as appropiate, although different cultures might have different views on this. For me, this is as useless as asking about the right age to get married.
