At What Age Does Virginity Become a Stigma?

29 July 2010 10 Comments

The average teenage girl loses her virginity at 17.3 (17.0 for boys), but the age at which it becomes a stigma can vary among subcultures, religions, and even schools.

Tina Fey famously held onto her virginity until she was 24, but one woman wrote about waiting until 32! …And not because of religion! Reasons ranged from fear it would hurt, anxiety about pregnancy and STDs, and a five-year illness until the reason was simply virginity itself. Why give it up if you’ve waited so long? Plus, sometimes the fear of revealing virginity after a certain age becomes a fear itself.

Most people have an age they don’t want to reach and still be a virgin — what was, or is, yours?

I honestly think it depends on the belief, the religious group yoou come from and your own values and principles as a person. In my neighbourhood we once had a girl at the age of 12 Prenant, crazy you would call me but it’s true, now we have kids at grade seven drinking and having an active sexual life style. Some of them even get laid more than their brothers and sisters- BELIEVE IT IT’S TRUE.
