[[File:X1VI6qG.jpg|400px|thumb|Virginity of both sexes by age (2006-2008) based on [https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr036.pdf NSFG data (pdf)]. The male curve always lags behind by 2-3 years as suggested by the excerpt below (each age group has N's of ~10,000). In 2019, this curve probably looks very similar, but shifted to the right by ~4 years such that the average 18-30 is around 27%. | |||
