Yeah. Even if we assume that the average age was 1 or 2 years higher when I was that age, there’s no way that the numbers in my highschool class where anywhere close to that. Out of like 16 guys, I know of only a couple who even had a girlfriend while in school, which is probably more likely than casual sex at that age.
It’s not sex when your sexual exploration amounts to masturbating and ogling people, though. It’s possible that my classmates who had sex just didn’t tell me, but most of the ones I was actually friends with definitely didn’t have sex in highschool.
Plenty could have relationships outside school that they didn’t talk much about.
I had my first sex at 16 and first relationships at 11, and my classmates weren’t even remotely aware of how rich of a romantic/sexual life I already had, or that I had it at all.
I wasn’t known as someone particularly likeable, either.
16.8? jesus.
I wanna see some breakdowns of these stats by country and socioeconomic factors

The number seems about right to me. Puberty starts at 12-ish, so does sexual exploration.

we went to way different schools
It does sound pretty unlikely, but it’s not impossible.
Usually it’s the exact opposite

Imo sounds about right, people were getting mighty horny around that time and started having sex. Few years earlier even
I lost my v card at either 16 or 17, I forget which year exactly…
So yeah, 16.8 makes sense as an average.
Is it usually earlier in the US? Sounds a bit on the high side for where I live too.
