At urban high schools the teen prenancy rate is about 35%. At suburban schools it runs about 2%. So this question has certain racial elements to it whether you like it or not. The truth is not always pretty. Overall for America it runs about 16%. That adds everybody together.

There is nothing wrong with being a virgin at 18.  Sex is not something that should be taken lightly.  Tell her that she shouldn't have sex until she's ready and that if some guy cant' accept that, he's not worth it.

I've spent the majority of this week looking over surveys and reports of behavioral research dealing with sexuality, and specifically dealing with virginity and virginity loss. I would estimate that I've gone through six hundred pages of written material, give or take a bit. I've examined statistics from the USA, Canada, Ireland, the UK, Finland, France, and Germany, and from the 1950s to the present.\nHere's what we know, in a rough outline, about virginity loss (NB: when "virginity loss" is defined as "first experience of penis-in-vagina heterosexual intercourse) in the industrialized West, with an emphasis on the USA (since that is where the lion's share of the available researches have been carried out):\n\n\n\n\n-- A relatively small proportion of people experience sexual debut prior to the age of 15, but percentages vary distinctly by population. Males are more likely to have intercourse prior to age 15 than females. In the USA, African-Americans of both sexes are disproportionately represented in this group, with males outnumbering females handily. Both in the USA and elsewhere, girls and boys from poorer families are more likely to experience earlier sexual debut than those from wealthier ones.\n\n\n\n-- Socioeconomic status of families is directly linked to age at virginity loss in general. The higher the family's socioeconomic status, the more likely the daughters of those families are to lose their virginity relatively late. Males of high socioeconomic status families, however, are not likely to have a delayed sexual debut, but it is also not necessarily likely to be earlier than the average.\n\n\n\n-- The vast majority of people lose their virginity somewhere between the ages of 16 and 20. There are some local variants on the average age, for example, in Ireland, the average age for women to lose their virginity hovers around 19, while in the USA, it hovers around 17.\n\n\n\n-- About 50% of US high school graduates have had sex at some point prior to finishing high school. This rate hasn't changed substantially since the early 1980s -- it has hovered between 50 and 55% since 1984, depending on what survey one consults.\n\n\n\n-- More of the US under-20 population, percentagewise, was sexually active in the 1950s than is sexually active today in the same age group. The difference? Marriage. During the decade 1950-1959, the United States had the highest 20-and-under marriage rate in the West. Since 1960, however, the average age of first marriage has gone up and the number of under-20 marriages have gone down, as well as the overall rate of marriage declining by close to 10%. Whereas in 1960, the average age of marriage for first-time brides was 20, it is now 26; for grooms it has gone from 23 to 27. In short, the ages at which people begin having sex haven't necessarily changed, but the ages at which they are likely to marry (if they marry at all) have changed quite a bit. It is now common for there to be a gap between the two, whereas 45 years ago, that gap was far less commonplace.\n\n\n\n-- As of 2004, it is estimated that throughout the industrialized West, approximately 90% of heterosexuals who do marry will have experienced penis-in-vagina intercourse prior to their marriages. This appears to hold true across all demographics.\n\n\n\n-- Women whose first experiences of penis-in-vagina intercourse happen before they are 15 are substantially more likely to have sexual partners who are 5 or more years older than they are. They are also substantially more likely to describe their first experiences of sex as being coercive. Their first sexual experiences are less likely to involve the use of contraception or safer sex practices than are the first sexual experiences of women who lose their virginity at fifteen or older. Women who lose their virginity before age 15 are at higher risk of unplanned pregnancy or STD infection. Women who lose their virginity before age 15 ar

A half virgin refers to a girl who has rounded the bases but hasn't gone home. (i.e. she has been felt-up, given hand-jobs, been fingered, had oral sex, and/or anal, but hasn't actually had vaginal intercourse.) While this type of girl may technically BE a virgin (regardless of having a hymen or not, that is a separate issue), she is not one in the sense that she has lost her sexual innocence. Therefore the term: half-virgin.

This whole virgin thing makes me sick. I wish people would accept the fact that virginity is a guilt trip created by so-called religious doctrine that is actually a control with fear tool in order to prevent young members of so-called society from exploring their natural human sexuality at the time they experience it... Thus I could care less whether or not a female member of our so-called society has had sexual intercourse or not, for that is solely her business, and it DOES NOT make her anything other than human.

I would say she is a virgin because her hymen is unbroken.\nMind you she's one dirty sl@t.

Those people are total weirdos.  I agree with you, that it does not matter. \nThose people need a new hobby or something, if they are like obssed with being a virgin or not.... \nBut you never know, maybe it'll get better.... hopefully.

Yes, of course. I am willing to wait until I get married. A lot of my friends have lost their virginity two years ago or when we were 14/15/16 and they definitely regretted it. I told them not to but they didn't listen. But I guess it's just that most teenagers just do it to express themselves or release anger/frustration/sadness/whatever and they don't care what they are doing anymore.

No she is not a Virgin. Technically we refer to Virginity as not having been 'penetrated'. However, in the modern sense, Being a Virgin implies that you have never engaged in sex with a partner. If you have had oral sex with another, then you have had sex...therefore you are no longer a Virgin. Point being, if you are asking this type of question, you are too young and your partner is WAY too young to be engaging in this type of activity. Wait a few years...it will be worth it...And when you are older you will understand that I am correct.

Well I don't know specifics other than most teenage girls would already be married and starting to have children of their own. They got married really young back then. (Mary was supposedly 13 when she carried Jesus).

Believe it or not, most lie about it.  The average age is 17 with males.  Shamefully 13 with females.

I think maybe you are being very general in saying that it seems that way......I know alot of young women who take great pride in being virgins (my 19 year old daughter being one), and I wish I would have stayed a virgin for a bit longer (my first sexual experience was at a very young age). I'm very proud to know that young women are staying virgins until they are old enough to decide what is truly best for them. Take care dear, and does it matter what others think??????
