I read an article yesterday that said the average age of first intercourse is now 15. Please tell me this isnt true!!!! Im no prude, but good grief, most people at 15 are children in every sense of the word!!

I absolutely think it's true. That's why sex ed is so important.

Changed title to add some specificity. Do you have a link to the article?

I absolutely think that is true. I was 12 and didn't stop since. Of course now that I am older I do wish that I had waited and I do realize how dumb I was. That is the problem with young people, they do not think of tomorrow. I am just blessed that I did not get an STD.

They most likely polled suburban kids. I lived in the inner city most of my life, and nobody I knew made it past 13 with their virginity.

Default Virginity

I am 51 but waited until I was 24, I was very shy with women as a teenager. The information was in a article in todays Minneapolis paper about the increase in STD's in teenagers. Actually, I was shy with women into my 30s, but in my 20s, I was occasionally the beneficiary of the "Sometimes, even a blind squirrel gets an acorn" theory.

Thats too old isn't it? I am thinking more like 13 1/2. One is adult enough at that age.

I saw something on the per centage of kids that experience STD and it was best I can remember 50% by age 13. That floored me.they even listed the STD's but I got to thinking that you have to remember aids could be transmitted many way to a kid.
