What does it mean to not be emotionally ready for sex?

(I am serious because my mom brought this up a few weeks ago sh’s like “…and you’re not emotionally ready for sex”

i dont get it >.>
DON’T WORRY….i am not looking to have sex..I am only 17..any moms who have said this to their daughters want to explain?)

Answer:

Personally, I don’t believe you should necessarily wait until you’re married to have sex, but I DO firmly believe that you should wait until you’re in love before having sex for the first time (preferably with someone who loves you back and treats you with respect).

Take it from me, I’m a good bit older than you, and I can tell you from experience: losing your virginity will be a memory that will stick with you for the rest of your life. You will NEVER forget your first time. So you definitely want to make sure it’s with someone you know VERY well and love truly and deeply, rather than with someone you’ve only known for a few weeks or with some dude you barely know at a party. Sex isn’t just physical — it’s also extremely emotional. I think your mom just wants to make sure you wait until you’re truly in love before you start having sex. That’s probably what she meant by “emotionally ready.”

I waited until I was in love before I started having sex, and I’m so glad I did. I knew a lot of girls in high school who lost their virginity to losers they barely knew or screwed anything that moved because they wanted to seem mature and cool, and nearly all of them regret it now. Sex is something you should do only when you’re in love with someone — trust me, it’s NOT something to be taken lightly. It’s an intense emotional experience. Make sure you share it with the right person — someone who truly loves you and respects you, not some pathetic jerk who’s just looking to get off.

Believe me, if you wait until you fall in love, you won’t regret it. It will be worth the wait. :)
