3. whatever everyone "agrees" to, the average age for an American girl to have sex

Sat Jun 8, 2013, 05:06 PM

Jun 2013

is 14 years 9 months. I remember that because I had read about the study finding that just before learning that my stepdaughter had been climbing out the window at night to see her boyfriend for a few months; when we did the figuring, it turned out that she had first had sex at about 14 years 9 months.

Of course that was just one study, and it could have been wrong, but I have no real reason to doubt it.
