I do like to think of the Girls as innocent 13 year olds but if I really think about it, it is hard for me to decide who I think would lose it first. Outside the club I think it would be Sunny, I think that is based on the CA Diaries books though. Inside the club, I can see Kristy waiting for some reason, I don't really know why.

I disagree about Dawn. I'm not saying she'd wait or anything (I mean honestly very few people actually do and tbh none of the BSC REALLY seem like they have such steadfast morals that they would and I agree there's nothing wrong with that) but I don't see her being all "woo hoo free love, I'm a hippie!!!" because she's not really HIPPIE-ISH imo. She's a vegetarian and cares about the environment but i wouldn't call her a hippie exactly. Sunny seems more like a hippie girl to me than Dawn because she really IS free-spirited and whatnot. Dawn's a bit uptight to be all hippie girl to me. I agree with starrynight, I don't think that Stacey would be running around town opening her legs to whoever asked, but given her tendency to fall in luv every four days, she'd think she was in love and have sex based on that. I totally agree with you there sotypical. That's what I like about Dawn actually, her heart is in the right place and she shares a lot of the same beliefs that I have, but she really is kind of neurotic and uptight and eager to please. She WANTS to be a free spirit, she thinks she is, and her friends think she is, but she's obviously way more insecure than she would like to let on. And if I'm being perfectly honest with myself, that's very similar to how I am. I've never felt like there was anything wrong or shameful about sex, or that it was only for married people, but I'm not a person who's all "WOO HOO FREE LOVE" either. Because like I said, I'm too neurotic for that.

I just don't see Dawn as being very interested in sex, so I think she'd be one of the last of the girls to do it. I know she gets insecure around guys and changes herself to please them, but I can't see her going as far as actually having sex to make someone happy!
I think Mary Anne would wait until she was engaged. She'd want to wait for marriage, but eventually would justify it by saying "Well, we're almost married..." Kristy I think would wait until she was married for sure. Stacey and Claudia would have sex sometime in high school. And I have no idea about Jessi and Mallory! I could kinda see Jessi having a serious boyfriend and having sex with him in high school, like when she was 17/18.

I can't even see Mallory having a real boyfriend that she'd have sex with. I think it'd be some random older guy taking advantage of her and she'd go along with it.
Agree with hitzpink that Dawn doesn't even seem interested in boys.
dawnomite, I like Dawn for those same reasons. I like that she isn't just a stereotypical free loving girl.

This thread is slightly pervy, but also interesting to see everyone's thoughts.
ITA with those recent comments about Stacey. She is pretty innocent and naive, and I agree with you guys - I can see her being sexually active first because she thinks she's in love. I can see her having to learn the "sex doesn't equal love" lesson the hard way.
The others are a little harder to say. I have no idea about Mary Anne, if she and Logan were to stay together, but I'm leaning more towards her waiting for a long time (though not necessarily before marriage) before doing it. I think Mal would be the last to become sexually active, but I don't see her doing it to get some guy's attention. She seems to have more sense than that.

I agree, I don't think Mal would have sex to get a guy's attention or to keep him interested in her. I also don't think Dawn would do that. Even though she did things to try to seem cool for Travis and Louis, I think she will grow out of that as she gets older.
I also definitely agree about Stacey having sex not because she's "slutty" but because she'd equate sex with love and have to learn a harsh lesson.

I think Dawn would like the idea of being very free-spirited and "free love" (or "sex-positive," I think, is more what the hip kids say today, lol), but she would agonize a lot over actually becoming sexually active herself.
I could see Claudia having sex pretty early, and worse, being absolutely clueless about contraceptives, because, you knows, those aren't art or junk food or Nancy Drew books. And she totally knows about babies! And somehow the Kishi parents don't seem like they'd be the best for having long chats about that stuff. But I think she's more insecure than she lets on, and being boyfriendless for a lot of the series is part of that, especially if you look at her behavior in Claudia and the Perfect Boy and how she lets Mark Jaffe basically be a jerk because he's supposedly so cute.
I remember being really moved by Celica's fic "Thirteen" about Mallory. I could definitely see Mallory being vulnerable to going further than she might want to, but I can also believe that she could wait, especially after she goes to boarding school.
I think Jessi is attracted to the idea of grand romance (lol chin-tipping Quint), but I think she'd be too skittish to go very far sexually as a teen, and she's too committed to her future (and she does get that a ballet career is both a long shot and of limited duration), so I think she'd be especially resistant to not risking the chance of getting pregnant. (Also, insert joke about how many straight guys is she gonna meet dancing anyway? /lame joke) Also, I think the Ramsay family just seems more open and more communicative than some of the others, which is usually a good thing. (I have sort of an AU theory where Aunt Cecilia was a very young Mom, but that's just me, totally.)
I think Stacey would probably have sex sooner than some of the others, more because of thinking she's in "luv," but also thinking she's more ready for it because she's tough and sophisticated and having sex takes a lot of responsibility, like having diabetes. But at least she has a good rapport with her mom, so I think she'd be more likely to confide in her and use birth control.
Mary Anne would want to wait, I think. When push comes to shove, she usually does stand up for herself on things like that. I think she'd at least wait until college, or the end of high school.
Kristy would plan to wait, although I could see her going further than she planned to in a certain moment and being really mad at herself. Abby would roll her eyes at everyone for making such a freaking big deal out of it, and then give them all condoms.

I like your assessments, alula. About Aunt C, in one book it says that Aunt C is OLDER than jessi's dad, and the fact that she already had an adult son makes your theory quite plausible. of course the books also say that jessi has an UNCLE john when her dad's name is john phillip.

^ Agree about Aunt C. I also feel like the pregnancy might have been unwanted because of what she says about giving up her dreams in Jessi's Big Break. That always gave me a bit more insight into her and made me feel for her a little more.

I can't believe there's almost 500 views for this thread, but only 40 something posts. It just shows you where all our minds like to be.

Couldn't Uncle John be Mrs. Ramsey's broher, or Cecelia's husband- or even Mrs. Ramsey's BIL?
