A new survey conducted by Durex Network, a social marketing arm of condom makers in the world shows that the age for “first sex” among Indians is 22.9 years. In China, the figure stands at 22.1, in Malaysia it is 23, in Singapore the average is 22.8 and in Thailand, it is 20.5.
In western countries such as Brazil and Germany, the mean age is below 18 years. The fact that Indians abstain from sex for nearly 23 years would leave most people happy because of obvious reasons: Indian culture is not going to the dogs( or west!!, if you like it)!!
I am happy for a different reason: the later the age for sex, the more is the emotional and psychological maturity to deal with a sexual relationship. I belong to the old school of thought that still believes that just because you are sexually mature does not mean you should go out to the nearest orgy.
I am also happy because it means comparatively less risk of spreading AIDS/STDs, less risk of unwanted pregnancies and dangerous abortions…
