Sexual health and young people
If you’re thinking about having sex for the first time it’s really important that you feel ready, you don’t feel pressured into it by someone else and that you feel comfortable with your decision.
Even though it might seem as if everyone around you is having sex, remember the average age for first sex in the UK is still 17 and above. Most people feel both excited and worried at the thought of having sex for the first time – this is normal, the main thing is that you feel absolutely ready.
you can find lots of helpful information on the NHS Choices website.
