Most men don't lose their virginity until early 20s.

Some even later.

It's fine. Don't worry bout it.

Source? Average age of first sex for males is about 15 in my country.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

And their dicks are all fifteen inches. And people never lie on surveys.

Edit: If you think critically about it, that means for every 25-year-old having sex for the first time, you need two 10-year-olds that got laid to offset it. That doesn't pass the sniff test.

It's not that I believe that the currently known figures are accurate, but that I'm still waiting for a source for "early 20s". That commenter made a specific claim with nothing to back it up. Could just as well be 19, or 29.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have reference. For the U.S.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db366.htm

Data from 2015 2017.

In 2015–2017, 42% of never-married female teenagers aged 15–19 and 38% of never-married male teenagers had had sexual intercourse; the percentage declined by 17% for male teenagers between 2002 and 2015–2017.

And some newer data. https://www.cdc.gov/yrbs/dstr/index.html

This site here uses that data and made easy to read graphs.

https://opa.hhs.gov/adolescent-health/adolescent-sexual-and-reproductive-health/data-and-statistics-on-adolescent-sexual-and-reproductive-health

Like this one.

Showing most kids graduate high school without having had intercourse yet.

Another gov site with data for 2024.

Neat. Why specifically "never-married", though?

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It's exclusion criteria.

In some states, those with high Mormon populations, teenagers are married. And so that doesn't represent the rest of the country. So these individuals are excluded.

They also don't count same sex , sexual activity, oral or anal sex. Or anything other than "penis in vagina".

That info would be for a different kind of study.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

But why are those not interesting for this study? It kinda feels like the question they want to answer is "how many teenager are having premarital sex, i.e. dirty sinners" instead of "what is people's age of first sex". Which would also mean that lots of teenagers would feel encouraged to claim that they're virgins when they actually aren't.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Because that would be a different study.

You could compare their behaviors to non married teens or whatever else.

Or compare the homosexual and bi teens to hetero ones.

I'm sure such studies do exist.

But you can't just have all these wild card variables lumped together.

In research you have to try to use parameters that best represent a population if you are doing a study on general trends.

It's very common to exclude anyone who isn't "average" from a study on average behaviors.

Especially when you know already that there are systematic differences.

For example. Married teens, always hetero, are engaging in sex.

That would distort the actual numbers if you added them into your computations.

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you think the study counted for reporting bias or whatever you'd call it?

I was in my 20s, but if anyone asks I was crushing puss since I was 14 bruv you get me man cant even count the bitches

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Females (man I hate using that word, but "girls" or "women" don't really seem appropriate here, either) have similar numbers, I kind of doubt that most of them had boyfriends in their early 20s, or a similar incentive to lie about it.

Either way, the "early 20s" claim is unsourced and pretty far from what's generally accepted, so there's just no reason to believe it.
