The team at SuperDrug Online Doctor has just released a new study on one of the biggest taboos in American culture — virginity. The study, "American Virgin: First-Time Sex Trends of U.S. Males and Females" reveals trends on when Americans are losing their virginity, and what factors affect when this happens. The main one being a lack of sex education at school and at home. Among their various findings, one of the most interesting is that the total number of people who have ever had same-sex sexual contact is 11.5%. That’s more than 1 out of 10 people. To get these results, they analyzed World Health Organization, Center for Disease Control and National Survey of Family Growth data.
For the purpose of this study, the definition of virginity loss is whether the respondent had heterosexual vaginal intercourse. With that in mind, the average age of virginity loss for American men is 16.9 years old, and the average age for American women is 17.2 years old. The percentage of Americans who have never had sex is consistently higher for young women than young men between ages 15-18. Meaning there are more female virgins than male virgins between ages 15-18. What’s interesting is that at age 19, when many teens have left their parents home and are in college, there is a higher percentage of men who haven’t had sex. Meaning, there are more 19-year-old male virgins than there are 19-year-old female virgins.
You may wonder with whom these 15-19-year-olds are losing their virginity. According to American Virgin, “males’ first sexual experiences tend to be with women just six months older than them, while females’ are typically with men nearly a year and a half older.” This trend is probably due to only one of two partners being virgins — you can be the first sexual partner of more than one person. Whatever the reason, to get personal, this definitely brings up memories of being a freshman girl in college and walking by a group of older guys who jokingly referred to me as “fresh meat.” Gross.
While this study doesn’t look at college as a factor for virginity loss, it does look at several other factors: parents, smoking activity, and sex ed. For Americans ages 15-44, about 58.1% were raised by two biological or adoptive parents, and 41.9% were not. The average age of virginity loss in a household with two parents is 17.6 years old. The average age of virginity loss in a household without two parents is 16 years old. This means Americans tend to lose their virginity a year-and-a-half earlier if they do not live with two parents. Furthermore, about 6% of those who didn’t grow up in a household with two parents lost their virginity at age 12 or younger. That’s compared to 2% of those living in a two-parent household.
Since 12 is not an age when legal consent is possible, the study suggests that this reflects the overall prevalence of non-consensual sex reported by all survey respondents: 15.2% of women experienced involuntary sex with men, but only 4.7% of men experienced involuntary sex with women. Overall, the household trend tells us people who grow up in a two-parent household are likely to lose their virginities at an older age.
Another parent-related finding is that over 1 in 4 people surveyed said their parents never talked to them about sex. Interestingly enough, a similar number of people surveyed (though not necessarily the same exact people) did not use a contraceptive the first time they had sex. Parents majorly dropped the ball when it comes to educating their kids on consent — half of people surveyed said their parents never talked about how to say “no” to sex. Same goes for sex ed: 27% of American teenagers never learned how to say “no” to sex in school — and, on average, they’re losing their virginity slightly earlier because of it. This leads us to believe that Americans need some serious educating when it comes to consent .
Lastly, let’s talk smoking and sex. Random, right? Maybe not — the study looked at data regarding smokers and nonsmokers, and though there's no evidence that smoking causes virginity loss, The American Virgin suggests, “maybe women who smoke are risk-taking in other ways.” (The study only looks at females in this section because data relating male smokers and age of virginity loss was unavailable.) They report frequent smokers have sex nearly two years earlier than infrequent smokers and nonsmokers. Females who smoke 2 or more cigarettes a day lost their virginity at an average age of 15.6, while females who reported smoking 1 or fewer cigarettes a day lost their virginity at an average age of 17.5 years old. While we love women who aren’t afraid to take risks, please avoid risk-taking that causes 1 in 5 deaths a year.
And there you have it. Overall, this study suggests that schools are severely under-educating their students about sex, and that parents are not picking up the slack at home. The irony in this is that 28 states (more than half) do not legally require schools to have sex education programs, and this is primarily because people feel sexual education should be taught at the parent’s discretion. In some cases that means schools offer optional sex-ed classes that require permission slips from parents, but in other cases it means there are no sex-ed classes offered at all.
Not only is sex ed necessary for understanding basic human reproduction, but sex ed is responsible for teaching people from a young age that consent is the difference sex and rape. Consequently, consent is the difference between having fun and traumatizing someone for life. Unfortunately, some parents who are uncomfortable with sex education in schools are also uncomfortable with sex education at home, leaving teens completely unprepared for sexual encounters. This leaves us with one question: if no one teaches teens about sex, how will they know what consent is?

Amazing Commentary On Religion and Society
"Virgin" has to be one of the most simple, yet heart wrenching movies I have seen in years. Because of it's low budget, the story and characters really helps the movie flow. Jessie is a small-town girl, who loves cigarettes and JD, with no religion, and a confused family. When she wakes up after a dance in the middle of the woods with no recollection of sex, Jessie is suddenly convinced she is carrying the child of god. With nobody supporting her, Jessie is forced to try and convince her god fearing town with her visions and instinct. I cried through the last half hour. It may not have been visually stunning, but the story and characters made up for it. The director really brought up a good question, and makes the viewer ask themselves, "would we have believed Mary now?" I recommend this movie to anyone, religious or not.
