According to the CDC 12.3 percent of females and 14.3 percent of males aged 20 to 24 are virgins. So by the time you are 24, probably well under 10% of women your age are virgins.
The CDC also reports that virgins make up 12.3 percent of females and 14.3 percent of males ages 20 to 24. That number drops below 5 percent for both male and female virgins ages 25 to 29 and goes as low as 0.3 percent for virgins ages 40 to 44.
So scientifically speaking, being a virgin once you hit 20 is pretty damn normal for the men and women of my generation. In fact, I surprisingly know 11 women* -- all very normal, functioning, exceptional members of society -- who survived well into their 20s without sex.

The truth is, it doesn't matter. Virginity is a big, socially-constructed idea that makes us virgins think there's something wrong with us because we haven't had a sexual experience yet.

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.

For young adults, sex is hard to come by – at least in part because many live with their parents.
