while the average age to lose your virginity in the 1980s was 17, today a quarter of young people are sexually active before they turn 16.
Averages are just that, averages. It\’s entirely possible that when the average age of virginity loss was 17 that 25% of people lost their cherry before they turned 16. Some lose their virginity after they\’re 18 you see, and it, umm, averages out.
