At what age are we ready to have sex?

Sex should be reserved for two people who are simply not in love at the moment

At what age are we ready to do it? This is a question that comes up a lot in magazines for teenagers, in uncensored “chats” or even in programs that claim to be “open” to questions about . But if we were to answer this question “outright”, I would tell you that we are ready around 12-14 years of age. Were you scared?

We are “ready” from a biological point of view, when our body is “developed” and “finished”, “ready” to generate life. Yes! From a biological point of view, ready to fulfill the purpose of sex: to unite and procreate.

Body, heart and soul

Here are some questions: are you, at this age, ready to unite, for the rest of your life, with this person with whom you are having the most beautiful expression of love? Are you ready to give yourself completely to Him, not just in body, but in heart and soul?

Sex exists for the fullness of love. Do you believe you truly love this person? Are you sure she loves you completely? Are you ready?

It is not a question of age, but of gift. Do you value yourself as a gift to be given? Is the other a gift to you? Are you willing to receive it as such?

You can tell me: “Wow, Adriano! I’m already an adult and I’m in a really cool relationship! I think we are ready to have our sexual relationship.” Then comes the question: “When, in the first place, do we know it’s time to have sexual intercourse?” I answer: “When you are ready to unite forever in love.” However, the most common answer in the world to this question about sex is: “It’s different for everyone, everyone has their own time.”

Emotional responsibility

Biologically, your body will be “ready” for sex when you reach . But that doesn’t mean that at this stage you should start having sex. There is a great emotional responsibility when we enter into a relationship like this.

What happens when two people have already given of themselves, in deep intimacy, but the relationship ends and they no longer want anything to do with each other? The emptiness of a lie remains.

With every sexual encounter you say: “I am yours, all yours and forever yours.” But if, after reaching pleasure, you put on your pants and leave, I will tell you that you are a lie. If, after a few years together, the relationship ends, I’ll tell you everything was a lie. In sex, even if you haven’t said it in words, you say: “I’m yours forever”. In life, if you end a relationship, you have denied all of that.
