[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is ever having as much sex as people think. Sexually active kids think everyone else is f--cking, but statistically it's just not true. Not now, and not in the 80s when I was in high school.

Just as in adulthood, every therapist talks about how every single one of their clients thinks that everyone else is having more sex than them. Married couples are having sex like twice a week at most, and many aren't doing it for weeks or months or years. Singles are having sex even less, despite what marrieds think.

72% of 17yr olds have had sex at least once. That’s the majority [/quote]

Where did you find that stat? That is WAY off.

By age 15, 21% of young females aged 15–24 had ever had sexual intercourse. By age 17, this increased to 53% of young females, and by age 20, 79% of young females had ever had sexual intercourse.
By age 15, 20% of young males aged 15–24 had ever had sexual intercourse. By age 17, this increased to 48% of young males, and by age 20, 77% of young males had ever had sexual intercourse.

This is an older survey and since then the numbers have continued to decrease.

Most of the posters on this board are women and sexist double standards being what they are, women who were having sex in high school want to pretend that everyone was. But statistically, they were a minority and teenagers are having less and less sex every year.

I didn't have sex until college but often wish I'd started earlier. So there's certainly no judgment coming from me toward women who were getting laid in their teens. It doesn't make them a majority though. [/quote]

You think teenagers are having less sex??? I think it is the opposite.

I feel I was last and I started at 18. This was back in the nineties.

I [b]guess it depends on your kid. If you have a social good looking teen, they will probably have opposite sex kids liking them. If your kid is not very attractive, s/he may not have much interest. Same for adults whether they are 20 or 30 or 40.

I hung out with a lot of cute boy in high school[/b]. It was hard to keep your hands off one another.[/quote]

Such a weird comment. Still stuck in your HS years [/quote]
