Men Sex: It was common to believe that almost all adults would have their first sexual experience before they turned 25. However, the new global surveys after 2023–2025 reveal that more men above the age of 25 are experiencing sex for the very first time compared to other counterparts. This observation is not seen in the U.S. only, but Japan, South Korea, the UK, and several European countries too.

Percentage-wise, about 10-15% of men between 25 and 30 years old have had no sexual intercourse at all. All these startling statistics show a marked increase compared with two decades ago.
