(82,383 posts)boys are encouraged to think it is macho and masculine to have sex as early as possible, so that's where the enthusiasm (alleged) comes from. Boys might be afraid to say they aren't ready for that and don't want to do it. Girls are taught it is wrong to do it too much the other way, so they guard themselves much better. Boys would if they were taught properly and society did away with this stupid machismo bullshit. Boys should be able to admit to not being ready for it.
So many men allege they lost their virginity as minors when it may not be true. They think that's what they have to say to preserve their masculinity. I've never heard a man admit he lost his virginity at any age over 16. Yet it must be true for many. They feel they have to lie.
Hell at this point girls feel bad if they are virgins and are made fun of for it too.
