13.9 percent of men, and 8.9 percent of women between the age of 25 and 45 have never had sex.A survey of 7,000 American adults found that those who went to church at least once a week were about four times more likely to be virgins. Teetotalers were also slightly more likely to have refrained from sex.
For women, a college degree increased the chances they were still chaste by five-fold. The rate of virginity is uniformly lower among those who've served in the military, African Americans, and those who've been to prison (yikes). Factors that don't appear to have any bearing on whether or not an adult has had sex include weight, income and health.
This higher-than-expected rate of virginity suggests the survey counted all those who responded "One time, at camp, I sorta got it in" as still having their V-card.

I believe it, there are a lot of people uncomfortable with stating the fact, and do all to avoid the matter. Like you said, "This higher-than-expected rate of virginity suggests the survey counted all those who responded 'One time, at camp, I sorta got it in' as still having their V-card." Perfect example.

My 1/2 tard brother in law came to live with my wife and I, after he burnt down his trailer. He totally is a 44 year old virgin I know it. He works for the church and goes like twice a week (nothing wrong with that, just sayin')
I told him I would take him to Vegas for some Hookers, joking one day ,he lit up like a X-mas tree! Guess I better take him now.

Haha my friend, Vegas is the place. Although, the legal Brothels in Northern Nevada are a lot safer and regulated by State laws.

I unfortunately am one of those 13.9 percent of men and I'm 26. It's not a choice, I'm not religious (I HATE religion), I'm very pro-sex and all that shit. It's just something that doesn't come easy for some of us and now it's too late for me to do anything about it.

Chris it's not "too late" for you to do anything about it.
Put some effort in and learn how to overcome what's keeping you from banging women. Unless you have a 3rd eye, I guarantee it's not your physical appearance. It's a 2 part recipe, part 1 is being somewhere where women are in the first place. Part 2 is learning how to be attractive to women, whether it's funny, cocky, clever, smart, protective, dangerous, witty, etc.
I recommend checking out the David Deangelo stuff, he has enough free stuff to do the job!

Some people are rich, some are poor; some are tall and some others are short, some have sex and some others don't. It's isn't a matter of going with a hooker [not everyone is cut out for that]or excitation. Everyone is different and reacts to different stimuli whether it is graphical sex or just a simple smile. And for some people it just doesn't happen in the way they want it to happen with whom they want.

Use it to your advantaghe man, some chicks are into that. Plus they'll think you're a sweet guy. Say you're saving it for the right girl, not that you can't get it. Perspectives. You'll be getting your D knocked off in a G way in no time.

Thank you Takeshi. I appreciate the advice. I actually have a very good idea as to what's keeping me from banging women. I should have been more specific as to how I'm in this predicament. Since I hit puberty, I have struggled with excessive body hair, terrible acne, obesity, glasses, social anxiety, stuttering, depression, and asperger syndrome. To top that shit off, I wasn't able to go to college,I still live with my mom, and I'm in the early stages of losing my hair(on my head that is). As you can imagine life has not been very good to me. The body hair, acne, baldness, and asperger syndrome I inherited from my dad. Thanks Dad. The lousy eyesight I got from my mom. The stuttering started when I was 9, anxiety when I was 15, and the obesity when I was 12. That was my own fault. I lost the weight when I was a freshman in high school. Although, I was never actually in shape. And I have been depressed since my preteen years. It has nothing to do with a chemical imbalance, it's beacause of how I am, the way my life turned out, as well as how the world is, and how people are. Most of these issues are things I could've tried harder to fix when I was younger, but was always too afraid and lazy. Procrastination is another wonderful trait I inherited from my dad. I spent a lot of time waiting for things to happen and putting them off instead of taking charge to fix myself when I should have.
I apologize for writing so much. When I start talking about these things, I get carried away sometimes. I'm not trying to get sympathy-even though it may seem like it. I'm just giving you a better idea of how I can be in my late 20s and never have been on a date or kissed a girl aside from being a virgin.
