  Still waiting for a source for “early 20s”.

    I have reference. For the U.S.

    www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db366.htm

    Data from 2015 2017.

    In 2015–2017, 42% of never-married female teenagers aged 15–19 and 38% of never-married male teenagers had had sexual intercourse; the percentage declined by 17% for male teenagers between 2002 and 2015–2017.

    And some newer data. www.cdc.gov/yrbs/dstr/index.html

    This site here uses that data and made easy to read graphs.

    opa.hhs.gov/…/data-and-statistics-on-adolescent-s…

    Like this one.

    Showing most kids graduate high school without having had intercourse yet.

    Another gov site with data for 2024.

      Neat. Why specifically “never-married”, though?

        It’s exclusion criteria.

        In some states, those with high Mormon populations, teenagers are married. And so that doesn’t represent the rest of the country. So these individuals are excluded.
