Inspired by a sex scandal and some conversations elsewhere, here's my first poll. I'm just curious what the norms for these things are in my social group. I'd prefer only people I actually know to fill this out, but I'm leaving it open to all so that you can fill it out anonymously if you choose.

That's not quite what I meant. What I meant was that many people assume that there are ages below which having sex means that there is something wrong with you, and also that there are ages above which not having sex means that there is something wrong with you. I guess it's not necessarily that people have hard age limits - but their willingness to tolerate deviance outside of a particular range, maybe 15 for the lower and 21 for the upper (at a guess), seems to me to be quite low. (Then again, my experiences are guaranteed not to be a random sample, &c &c.)

Yes. If you do not have sex on the ninth day after your 17th birthday, you are SCARRED FOREVER.
