"Those who lose their virginity at a later age -- around 21 to 23 years of age"

21-23 is LATE. wonderful.

sexuality is a life long experience as I explained in previous posts, and like mentioned in the article, abstinence-only education does not work statistically in preventing teen/unwanted pregnancy. People should be taught about their sexuality and know consequences of unprotected sex.
But as a Christian, I wonder what our society has become. are we encouraging "early"/premarital sex?
