"Is your experience unusual?" naah all my friends were chasing girls. And the girls had their own agendas I assume. Lots of sex happened then (and happens today), though there were a few people who 'went without'. But even then I assure you that was due to being unable to score, not by choice. Arranged marriages do happen, even today. That has nothing to do with what happens when you are not married. Traditionally there was a lot of emphasis on women's virginity, as in many patriarchical societies so it was a rewarding strategy (in the game theory sense) for women to pretend that they were/are 'pure' before marriage. With the onset of modernization and urbanization, this is all honored in the breach, in the cities at least. "I know that in a lot of conservative societies (like some of the Arab countries, particularly in the Gulf) men & women are not supposed to have relationships before marriage" 'supposed to' being the operative word, even in Islamic countries. Teenagers are horny everywhere in the world, and the rest is just negotiation and risk taking ;)
