well you hardly ever hear of women being 25+ or 30+ years of age and never had a boyfriend, still a virgin, meanwhile it's not uncommon to hear of it the other way around
Actually it is kind of uncommon for both to reach those ages having remained single and still a virgin. I think it is probably more common with people on the spectrum especially since our disorder makes it more difficult to interact with people. But over-all not necessarily.
I didn't have sex till I was 19...and it sucked the first time, and I have heard many people say the same or at least that it was akward. So not sure why people think so many people are focused on if someone's lost their virginity or not. Not to mention no one is going to know if you are a virgin or not unless you tell them...and if you get far enough with a women to have sex she's probably not going to throw you out because you haven't had sex with other women.
I mean IRL I never hear any talk of virginity, I hear plenty of talk about sex...but it would seem most people don't seem to care about that.
I agree its uncommon for both people, but what i'm saying is that most people who reach that age-bracket still being single and never had a relationship before, it seems to be more common among men than among women, like I've heard and seen more men vocally express it, maybe women are more silent about it, that's just my guess.
