The average age of first sexual intercourse in the US is ~17 for both boys and girls, and rising. The hypersexuality of adolescents is overstated in popular media, though probably varies by region. I grew up in a pretty promiscuous environment, and even there, while there were 13-year-olds having sex, and we were aware of it, that was by far the minority experience.
- pixl97 3y agoAnd minority experiences are not allowed? How would that be any different from "5% of the population is gay, so we're just not going to allow that to be talked about"?
- paulddraper 3y agoThe difference is that it's a destructive behavior. If 5% of teens use drugs, we're going to team them how to score fentanyl-free coke?
- teachrdan 3y agoThis is a foolish comparison. You never want your kids to do cocaine. You do, in all likelihood, want them to have sex at some point.
