Normal age for loosing virginity

Perhaps they are being less than 100% honest? Where as you have virgins 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.

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.

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.

Come on, give us examples...

I was 14 when I lost my virginity and I know it is an individual thing and I certainly don't regret it but I think it was a bit too young. I think 16 and above is quite a good age in general.

Any age is a good age, really - sure Pumpkin above was 91. She must have great oul' bone-structure.

There is a big difference between being sexually active having lost your virginity.

strobe

I was 14 too, it was also the night I took ecstasy for the first time. I don't think it was too young to have sex, for me personally, but was definitely too young for the latter thing. Still, was quite an experience. The second time I had sex was probably the most disappointing experience of my life however, "what the **** was that... wheres the non stop 4 hours of riding and constant all over full body orgasms ..."

Well, if you lose it more than once, it's probably loose:D

I'm pretty sure it's a typo most of the time. Brings a lot of attention up because the typo that occurs is of a word which is used of context.

I'd say the vast majority of loose/lose, your/you're, there/their/they're things are just typos. I do it occasionally I'm sure, I know perfectly well which word to use but I'm not writing job applications on this site, even if I notice a typo like this I often won't bother changing it, it's pretty clear from the context what is meant.

How can you not have got the ride by 26?

I lost mine at 16. I would imagine the most common age is from 17-19. 19's quite late though thinking about it given the fact you might be out of school two years.

Depends on your social situation too. If you're in some rural town hanging about all summer unless you have a girlfriend then the chances of getting a shag might be considerably diminished. If you're out a lot in a busy spot then you get more chances- higher possibility.

Maximus Alexander

I lost mine at 17 and considered myself pretty late getting into the game, but I wasn't in a rush. I don't think there is a 'normal' age though. Just, like, whenever you want or are ready. My best friend didn't do the deed until he was 26 and nobody saw a problem with that, why should they? He's 28 now and actually regrets it, since it was a one night stand and since he waited that long he might as well have kept it for someone he cared about.

A lot of people in college would either be in steady relationships or out looking to ride everything that moves. It doesn't surprise me at all that 75% would be sexually active. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you if you're not.

Nothing wrong with that per say.
However with life being life and being cruel and all that, with each passing day you run the risk of :eek: ... dying a virgin.

Yeah that would probably suck but on the bright side, when you're dead you won't have the capacity to care.

There's a lot of talk, boasting, gentlemen-your-knobs-on-the-table-please, bullock's notions and putting legs under oul' hens going on at that age. In reality, you'll find the loudest fella who has ostensibly conquered the most ladies is the most like a dog chasing a car - even if he did catch the odd one he'd have had no idea what to do with it.

There are people who lie and say that they are virgins too.

Maybe your friends are part of the percent that are virgins

I've stopped worrying about the average age. Can anyone tell me what the upper bounds are?

Sorry Buzz, never seen your message. :P

Yeah, I'm sure a load of them were at it in school when I was too preoccupied with other things. Tbh it never really bothered me one way or another, I never felt pressurised to lose it. When it happened, I wanted it to happen. I have no regrets about losing it when I did or not losing it before hand, I think it happened at the right time with the right person. :P How cheesy is that?

I don't think there's a right age, it's whenever you are comfortable with it.

Joya

I 'lost' it when i was 20 and considered myself late lol
However i wanted to do it with the right guy - one who id really fancy so no regrets about it, he was great

we r still friends even after we broke up, but i remember how some girls from our circle of friends were very jealous for me being with him, his 'ranking' was really high :D
so yea, no regrets, guess it was just right time for me :):)

MadYaker

I was 20. Id believe the 75% statistic. A lot of my friends are in relationships and having regular sex.

Kept what exactly? A load of nervousness followed by you blowing your load in two minutes?

College is from 18 till 22 usually. Most of my college mates were or had been sexually active. It is the whole of college not just first year so yes. I was 23.

BetterThanThou

Personally lost mine at 15, though, I do regret it, as I should have waited till I was older and more mature. Average among my group of friends seems to be around 16. However, even if someone is a virgin at 19, that's nothing to be ashamed of, you gotta wait for the right person, I didn't, and I regret not waiting for the right person.

whupdedo

I met a girl one night, she said she'd lost her virginity, but then she said I could use the box it came in, ha
















Sorry

My best friend lost it when we were 15.. Tbh i didn't understand her at that time..but i went with her to clinic for after pill couple of times and remember her state, and my state.. Also she got pregnant and then her father had to take her to abortion, not a pleasant experience for a 17yo.
..
My other best friend did it at 16, she got pregnant and had a child..
Even her daughter is a gorgeous girl i saw what all she had to go through cause of that, not only cause that immature guy yes of course just walked away...

Just wondering. I'm a fella, lost it to some lass who I never saw again afterwards and can hand on heart say I couldn't care less.

iamanengine

I'm 20 now, lost mine at 16, but that was down to sheer drunken madness and most acts since have been down to drunken madness!

I wouldn't worry about it at all if you haven't lost it, plus a tonne of people lie through their teeth. But that said, to my knowledge all of my friends in college have lost theirs, maybe one or two who haven't.

I've never really got this 'wait for the right person' 'make it special' mindset. It seems to be giving a gravitas to having sex for the first time that is unhealthy and unhelpful to my mind. Even if the first time was with the wrong person and wasn't 'special'... so what? You haven't lost anything. You still get to have sex with the right person where it is special at some point after that.

Yeah, I think this whole expectation or insistence that the first time should be a special candy and rainbows and fireworks and unicorns moment is really unhealthy and probably causes some young people a lot of unnecessary and superimposed difficulties.

Really think that mindset should be discouraged rather than lionized.

Maximus Alexander

Personally I don't agree with the above, I wouldn't either encourage or discourage that mindset, everyone's different.

My first time could be regarded as 'special'. It was with my first love and it was the first time for the both of us. It was a great experience, and even though we've both long since broken up and are with different partners, I wouldn't change a thing. It was a great evening and a nice memory to have. The fact that it was the first time for both of us definitely lends some weight to that memory that might not otherwise be there.

I don't see anything wrong with wanting to share the moment with someone special if that's whats important to you. As long as peoples expectations are realistic, I don't see the harm.

Everybodys different, it's just more meaningful to some than others, neither is more right or wrong than the other.
