ELLEgirl International Sex Survey
Teens and Sex
Updated: 3/14/2006 10:47:04 AM
When ELLEgirl posed questions about sex on ELLEgirl.com, thousands of girls-with an average age of 16- were ready to (anonymously) spill the details.

Here are some of the most startling findings:

Oral Sex is more common among highly educated teens from upper-income families

25% of teens who had already had sex used no form of birth control whatsoever

The average age of U.S. girls losing their virginity was 16.9 years, comparably to India where the average age was 19.8 years and Iceland where the average age was 15.6 years

80% of teens answered that their school did NOT provide them with condoms

Only 12% of teens receive the majority of their information about sex from their parents. Alternatively, the majority -30%- said that they learn from their friends www.ellegirl.com
