Sex study: More teens, young adults are virgins - USATODAY.com
A growing number of teens and young adults say they've never had sexual contact with another person, according to the largest and most in-depth federal report to date on sexual behavior, sexual attraction and sexual identity in the USA.
The study, issued today by the National Center for Health Statistics, reports that 27% of young men and 29% of young women ages 15-24 say they've never had a sexual encounter. That's up slightly from the last such survey in 2002, when 22% of both sexes reported no such contact.
The new data are from the 2006-2008 National Survey of Family Growth, based on responses from 13,495 people ages 15-44. It surveyed 7,356 women and 6,139 men.
