What age group would say its best to lose your virginty?

[Anonymous]

The older you get while being a virgin should be a concern, but what age group would say someone is just socially awkward or an outcast if they haven't had sex yet. Don't tell the classic,” Just be you and stand out.” What is the cultural and social expectation of losing one’s virginity?

Although majority chose A or B, I personally feel that due to the "responsibility" part of sex, 1) mental maturity is important.

Other reasons include:

2) we should be more financially independent just in case of pregnancy; and

3) more emotionally stable because I'm almost certain the relationship will not last (even most first marriages fail).

This implies those below 20 may suffer more grievous consequences if the relationship sours.

Hence I voted C.

As a member of the third group, I say it doesn't matter in the slightest. I barely even remember that night (and it wasn't that long ago). It didn't change me as a person, not as far as I know. Virginity is ridiculously overrated for no reason.
Tbh, my trip to Norway a couple weeks before was way more memorable than my first sex...

Studies show that people who have premarital sex or cohabitate are more likely to divorce.

I am 21 and still a virgin

[GREY-WOLF]

18+ is ideal age for me to lose virginity in my opinion by the way.

Just after marriage

Why so late

[ThinkerShell]

I have lots software reasons But let me ask it first: are you married or single?

[GREY-WOLF]

Single

In your youth.

I don't know but I'm 25 and stil a virgin. I think 16-17 is an acceptable age. I could be wrong

[Cryptic-Game]

Best time is within marriages only.

I don't think it necessarily matters much at what age you lose your virginity; I was 18, so I went ahead and selected that for the poll because it worked out pretty damn well.

What really does matter is doing it with someone you trust and respect at a bare minimum, and ideally are in love with. You don't necessarily have to wait until marriage, but I would recommend at least being in a committed relationship in order to have a safe, enjoyable, and meaningful experience.

Society shouldn't pressure you into sex before you are ready. Random thought, if society shames you into losing your virginity before you are ready; would it be considered social rape?
