In our culture, the norm is for adults — married or not — to have sex. According to a 2011 study published by the National Center for Health Statistics, about 97 percent of men and 98 percent of women ages 25 to 44 aren't virgins. So I — a 26-year-old virgin by choice — am one of the 2-percenters.

Do not worry this is pretty normal. Some people choose to be adult age virgins because they do not want to have sex just for the heck of it. They want to lose their virginity to so,e body special, with a partner who will make them feel valued.

Losing your virginity is a massive deal and it more often than not can be a major disappointment. But don't let a bad first experience damage your self-worth and put you off sex for life. You're certainly not the first person to feel this way and you will not be the last. It does get better.
In this, 50.52% of men between 18-20 are virgins. For men over age 25 (but not older than 30), only 1.9% are virgins. I have seen the WaPo chart interpreted untold times by people who think it means that 27% of all men aged 18-30 are virgins. 27% is across the whole group.

Deciding to have sex for the first time can be a big deal. It's true that sex can change some things. It can change your relationship and it can teach you things about yourself and your partner. One thing it definitely won't change is your body or the way you look.

It's not uncommon at all to be virgin at 25. Actually, it's only a few years above the average in China, India, Singapore, and Malaysia. In other parts of the world, it might be rarer, but it's still not by any means exceptional. In any case, whether it's rare or not should not bother you.
