I’m guessing thats to avoid some ethical grey areas. Or theyre specifically gathering data on men after highschool.

“Since they turned 18” also seems needlessly specific.

I assume they don’t want to open a can of worms regarding childhood abuse. Doesn’t seem needless

Two consenting 16 year olds having sex is neither child abuse, nor illegal in the UK.

Is there something in the graph that suggests it’s from the UK?

The UK isn’t the only country where this is the case. I would’ve assumed it was legal in the US too.

I interpret the results as men between 18 and 29 who’ve never had sex. I’d answer at least 1 if I had sex at 17.

Really depends on what the question asked. I’d mostly trust the GSS to report the data correctly, but not really trust Wapo to do so. I looked at GSS questions (can’t view data on mobile) and it seems like Wapo might be being drawing some misleading conclusions from the data, as no question specifically asked this. Hard to be sure.

Didn’t you know? When you turn 18 your body hits the virginity reset button!
