In answer to: "When are people mature enough to have sex?"

I feel that a necessary level of maturity has been reached when a
person does not equate sex with love, nor believe that love, sex, and
friendship cannot exist within a relationship in various purmutations.

As an undergraduate student at a large university, I see a lot of
students attempting to use sex as a method of defining their own
worth as a human being; or trying to make a long term relationship
work merely because of an initial sexual encounter with someone.  Some
of these students are in graduate school and have obviously passed
that fuzzy time between ages 14 and 21 when most people expect
maturity to fully develop.  Perhaps only with experience will come the
necessary level of maturity.  (Wait--wasn't that part of the question,
I'm confused :-).
