A friend of mine uses the same rule. I think it works nicely.
When I was younger, I always said I'd wait until I was married to have sex. When I got to be about 17, though, I started thinking "well, okay, what if I don't get married until I'm 30?" so it was amended to "wait until you're in love and emotionally ready." That didn't happen until I was 18.
I recently found out that my cousin, who is 15, is having sex. I definitely think that's too young; the guy, who is 16-17 immediately broke up with her after finding out she was grounded, so he could go have sex with someone else. Yikes.
Another friend of mine, who is 20, pretty much only dates high school girls. I didn't think much about it until we were out one night, and he was literally drooling over the 14 and 15 year olds. I couldn't help but feel disgusted.
And to answer the original question--I think 18 is the limit. There are always exceptions, of course, and it depends on your own age, but as a rule, 18. *nods*
