Remember back in high shool when it felt like the biggest thing in the world was losing your virginity. If you didn't get rid of it by graduation, your life would be in shambles — at least that was what it felt like at the time.
But there was really no need to put that pressure on. By the time you're 18, you'd most likely
had your first sexual experience, according to data from The National Survey of Family Growth.
Most of us sayonara to our virginity at 18 and begin to hone our skills at lovemaking
according to the data. However, that's not the case for all of us
By 20, there's still a quarter of Americans who haven't had sex, but that number quickly drops off from there. Still, that doesn't mean we've all jumped in the sheets by 25. There's a sprinkling of virgins out there past 25 (at least ones who haven't had sex with anyone of the opposite sex), including 4% of 43-year-olds who watched Steve Carrell in The 40-Year-Old Virgin and didn't laugh — not even once.
Compared with other countries, though, Americans are relatively quick to the punch
The U.S. ranks 24th in the average age where virginity is lost, well below Malaysia and Indian where people wait until 23. Americans are also quicker than the romantics in France
(18.5-years-old on average) and its polite neighbors to the north in Canada (18.1).
The moral of the story: If you're a teen and it hasn't happened, just chill, it's gonna happen
