Is first time sex age dropping?

The average age of first time sexual experience is about 17 years old in the United States. Is this dropping from generations past? Was it the same age when my parents were in high school?

    It's still the same. Believe it or not, MOST teens under 17 (and some older) aren't having sex. It sucks you assume they do based on the idiotic questions asked on this site.

    Where I live, most teenagers have had sex by age 17. I was 18 my first time, and that is old compared to a lot of non-virgins I know. I think it depends on the area that you live in.

    I don't know. I just know in the 1960's 1970's only 11 percent of the population waited til marriage unlike four percent of today. Seems interesting.

    In a week I'll be my 19 and very likely still a virgin. My (unwed) mother had a child by my age.

    No, it's increasing in fact.
