    Elton John
    "I made the mistake of not having sex until I was 23!"
    --Elton John

    For a new book called 'Dear Me: A Letter to My Sixteen-Year-Old Self,' the 'Rocket Man' revealed his deepest regrets and advice for the young, like "Never chase love" and "Stay away from drugs, they're a waste of time."

    I waited until I was 23 -- and wish I had waited until I was 33! You're more level-headed then. What's the big deal, anyway? The 20s is the time to build your adult character and your career -- travel the world; don't hang around a motel room or whatever. This is the advice I'd give to kids!

    Thats insane to wait, thats like saying, wait untill your 50 to do something that is extremely enjoyable, so you have wasted those years cant get them back, gone, why in heavens name WAIT to do something that gives every-one imense pleasure, its natural, God or evolutional desire, I wish I had started when I was 10, that would have been an additional 7 years of fun I missed out on, that is insane to wait till your older, if ya wait to long you cant get it up idiots, and the women will dry out, there are peak years anyway...

    Wow, thankfully, most people don't think like you. It is obvious from your statements that you are extremely selfish. If you don't have kids yet, please don't. If you do have kids, please reconsider your attitude, cuz it sux.

    You're either just an A@@ or an idiot, I'm thinking maybe a combination of both. Please don't procreate. I'd hate to think of there being anymore idiots like you.

    JJoe, I'm totally with you. These Christian prudes have no understanding of anything. I wish I had started much earlier too. The teen years are when your body is crying out for sex. It's biological and totally natural. And fun!

    you know, I think you have the right idea, and just said it in the wrong way. I mean, I believe it is a choice on when, where, how, each individual wants to have sex. Some may just need longer than others. But to say a person is wrong for wanting to sleep around at a younger age, is completely insane. In the past it was COMPLETELY NORMAL to have and start a family at an early age. It just makes sense with the economy and such, that we would go back into that mental mindset. That plus, why would you deny yourself something that is pleasurable? What is wrong with sex? I mean of course there are precautions and such that EVERYONE must take, but aren't there precautions for everything. I'm a little upset at these people judging a person because of their opinion, and to say a person shouldn't have CHILDREN because of their POINT OF VIEW? What the hell does that even have to DO WITH CHILDREN... chill out, gosh its not such a serious thing.

    Try not until 25, with a female. I was ignored until 25. And even though Im thin, looks and popularity were still more important whether in person or the internet. I was rejected by whom I call tookpicks, it was overweight females that show me attention. So even today I reject thin/tookpick females. From 1996-1999 (when I met my wife) I reject anyone less than 200lb. So the age you lose your virginity means nothing, as long as its equal respect/love.

    I always wondered what motivated a guy to be a "chubby chaser"....now I know. Personally, I'd rather dance with Rosey Palmer, than a fat chick.
