Normal age for loosing virginity

Davidius

Given that we are a saintly people who would never have sex before marriage, the answer is obviously 33.

Macavity.

I'd say 18 is about average, the statistic given seems right to me.

Ihatecuddles

I'd say the statistic is bang on.

Im 22 and know one virgin my age, the rest either lie or lost it as teens.

SEPT 23 1989

Maybe we were just hornier as teenagers in the 90's with the all the good music,weather and drugs

petes

19 when I lost it. I'd say 18/19 is probably around the mark.

I was 17, and it traumatised me so much I didn't have sex again until I was nearly 21.

18. Thought I was old at the time, but that may have been influenced by taking American Pie too literaly

I don't know about the number, but I imagine it's about 23 seconds after Garth Brooks begins singing.

I find it harder to believe that 25% aren't.

Don't believe the media hype.

When I was a student 15 years ago, loads of my friends were not sexually active.

I'll admit that it seems sexual activity is more common now, but still today, among uni students, I would suggest plenty have never had sex, and plenty are not "active".

You need to punish all these women who disrespect you by going with unworthy men and so force you to remain a virgin.

When I was in secondary school I'm pretty sure girls in my year were having sex at 15, which is way too young imo, and I think girls in the years below me were having it younger than that even. I think girls tend to have sex before guys, but everyone's different

Generally, Girls hormones would be active approximately as much as 3 years earlier than a male of the same age. Her Estrogen levels may be increasing as early as 8/9 years of age.
Even a Male whose Testosterone increases at 8-9, may take longer to develop because the stages of sexual development are slower in the male.
The age where Virginity is lost (if ever) depends on many factors, Lifestyle, Emotions, urges, desires, all play a major part in it.
I lost my virginity a lot earlier than the OP, to an older girl, and i do believe the 75% active as near enough to the correct figure.

I can't find mine anywhere.

Loosening the virginity is a rather different thing. Honours students only, please!

I'm 26 but I just finished doing a degree and most of my college friends who are 21 or 22 are still virgins. At first I was a bit baffled and surprised as I thought that the majority of people would have lost their virginity by 19.

Son Of A Vidic

I was 17 and I found out in later years, that I was the first amongst my close mates. My best mate told me he lost his at 15. So I thought it was odd when several years later, he started asking me questions about the big deed. Turns out he was still a virgin. I think us lads are just more prone to egotistical shyte talk when it comes to such subject matter.

Lost mine at 24. But it seems to have re-found me and I haven't been able to shake it since. Not for the want of trying...

I was 18 when my Catholic purity was shamelessly stolen from me.

Perhaps they are being less than 100% honest? Where as you can have people lying about having lost their virginity it's also not unheard of for people to say they are virgins when they are not.

Well, that is certainly possible but as most of them are men I thought that they would be more likely to lie and say that they aren't virgins.

I was 18, I think it's easier for girls:D

I'd say it's more common for young guys to lie that they're not virgins and more common for young girls to lie and say they are all right, but I'm sure it happens the other way too. Entirely possible they're just being honest too though.

Amongst my circle the average age would have been 16/17 I'd say, for both guys and girls.

Yeah why don't people understand the difference between "lose" and "loose"?! Jaysus.

Can we add it to the curriculum?

Any child I ever teach will know the difference between 'lose' and 'loose' and 'your' and 'you're' along with many other grammar mistakes people make ALL the time.

Hah, probably - just "stop saying no". I've heard from several non-Irish friends that we Irish (Irish men, at least) are very forward in social situations.

It must be very annoying for any Irish girl who's struggling to lose hers to hear that though.

I have read a recent report that said that nearly three quarters of Irish college students were sexually active. I don't believe that for a second. Do You???????

Not if they mean with another person, no.

It was '91 when I lost mine. I think a lot of Irish guys seem to have ridiculous expectations with the opposite sex these days, judging from the conversations I'd overhear in the gym.
