My son and daughter lost their virginities at 16 and 14, respectively. My son with his 16 year old girlfriend and my daughter with her 16 year old boyfriend. I was completely fine with both situations. And both had good experiences. Both used proper protection and my daughter lost hers in her own room and bed. No safer place for her. After she went on the pill at 15, she was free to have sleepover dates whenever she wanted to, or when it wouldn't interfere with school. I lost mine at 21, which was a bit too old for me. I was ready before then.
