    Median age in the US for losing virginity is 18.4, while 15 is young, around 10-15% of surveyed populations consistently have lost their virginity by 15. That being said public school culture is to claim you banged some foreign chick at camp at 13 to brag so 15 year olds that don’t lie might be confused.

      When do kids in the US go to university, because I would have thought that would be the main time for it. Away from your parents for the first time, eventually having your own accommodation for the first time.

      Although maybe the fact in the US drinking isn’t allowed until 21 would have some effect, because I’m pretty sure that alcohol was initially what made me so attractive.

      I learned way too quickly who the posers were and who wasn’t after I started messing around with a girl in highschool. It was very eye opening realizing that very few of my classmates had gotten anywhere near even just a romantic/sexual connection with someone of their preferred gender
