*'''[[Youngcel|Early adult virgins]]:''' This category is increasingly common these days, with about half of U.S. 12th graders never having dated. This being a much larger demographic group than late adult virgins, it is expected to differ much less from the overall population. | *'''[[Youngcel|Early adult virgins]]:''' This category is increasingly common these days, with about half of U.S. 12th graders never having dated.
