Virginity

---

hiim 15 and im slowly realising that more and more people are loosing there virginity.i was wondering if there was an average age that people do go for it.im in no rush to loose mine and would actualy like to wait untill i am 16thank you very muchjames

While there is an average, it nothing more than a meaningless mathematical exercise. Ideally people loose their virginity when they're ready. Most often that readiness, for those that wait till they think they're ready, comes between the ages of 16 and 22, I'm guessing.Whenever you do think your ready for sex remember the awful ramifications an unwanted pregnancy or an STD could have on your life and with that in mind use, and further know how to properly use, a condom and birth control.Please keep in mind that most people your age claiming to have lost their virginity are just posturing for effect and there is little if any truth behind a great number of their claims of sexual prowess.

I think the average is somewhere between 16-20. I lost mine right after I turned 16, and I wish I had waited longer.

I'm 20 and still a virgin. Sure, it may seem at times that everyone is doing it except you, but just wait until the time is right.

Who cares what the 'average' is - be yourself.

This paper suggests that the median age in the US is about 17 1/2; but anyway there's no reason why you should do something just because other people are doing it.

I'm 18 and i'm a virgin.. The truth is.. most girls who have sex young wish they had waited.Most guys seem pretty indifferent.Erm.. I guess I should throw out there that I use to base my decision on religious reasons.And now I really just don't care one way or another.. same religion but, if it happens it happens.. if it doesn't well.. who cares? I should probably point out that one of the funniest things in the world is a desperate person.I know one guy who went threw 6 girlfriends in like a month.. and he pretends to be the goodie goodie christian but, he is desperate.. you can tell.. I think he also questions himself.. cause he gets overly offended if you ask "hey dude do you like guys" his reply "NO I AIN'T LIKE THAT ITS NOT FUNNY!!!" can't hold a girl to save his life.. submissive isn't even the word for it.. I'm submissive.. he is a doormat.Anyway.. in all honesty if you plan on doing anything don't get desperate. And don't let others influence you. I get picked on at work for being a virgin but, it really doesn't bother me. they always talk about how "you don't know what your missing".. the irony is if you don't know then you can't miss it. Also I am not saying anyone I do it with I plan on marrying and having kids but, if worse comes to worse.. I want to be willing to marry them and have kids. No matter how much precaution, how much protection, and how much praying you can still have a child or get an std. Even if the odds are one times ten to the twenty third power it can still happen. (oh btw.. i gaurentee you.. your not going to find protection that is THAT good)I will probably graduate a virgin.. but, its better then graduating a father..and there are people that do.

Don't sweat it man, I am 20 and still a virgin!

The average ages that are touted as being the norm for losing your virginity are 16-22.Ultimately the decision lies with you and you alone. You shouldn't feel pressured to have sex with someone just for the sake of losing your virginity, because this is something that you don't want to look back on and feel shitty about.

well alot of ppl do it at different times but my friends and other people lost it when they was like 14/15

Since there's no way to verify, maybe they were telling the truth and maybe it was all BS.

most of my friends lost theirs before 16. i read somewhere that the average is around 14-20

That's a small range...
