Hmmm... i still support purity of the body and mind.
Abstain from sex till you marry
Stay faithful inside marriage
If you don't marry stay away from sex and pray to God for grace, even married people don't have sex as regularly as they'd have wanted sometimes because of work, children, sickness, age or other genuine reasons.
Note: you reading this, if you're still a virgin hold yourself till marriage and marry well and right. Don't keep yourself for a public boy/man or girl/woman. Don't waste your delayed gratification by throwing your pearls on swine. Sex can be an addiction and the best way to beat an addiction is not to enter it at all, until it's the right time, dont enter sexual pattern. In addition even if you're already sexually active you can come out and stay chaste till you marry. If you're in an adulterous relationship, cut it off, repent and seek restitution with your spouse while prayingbto God for mercy and forgiveness to create in you a new heart and renew a right spirit within you.
Keep your mind free, safe and clean from porn, unnatural sex and profane media and reading materials.
You'd be fine, trust me, God has it under control - granting you discipline!

Nigeria 19.7 ? That damages the credibility of this report , boys maybe 20 and above but girls in Nigeria start having sex from 12/13 if not lower, I feel some must have been doing it from birth , those girls are wild

Good observation. Cold temperatures can cause the unexpected.

In statistics we have to be conscious and care with words like MOST, AVERAGE, GENERALLY, SOME etc

MOST kids graduate from secondary schools as virgins (ofcause some would already be active but they're not majority) this also depends on the part of the country that's considered- but GENERALLY most kids leave secondary school as virgins

The AVERAGE age to enter university is 17/18. This is where/when sexual activities largely begins due to obvious factors. For a virgin, you don't just start having sex immediately u enter university, you need some months to 'settle down'

This is why19 is a suitable AVERAGE.

Forget about the statistics in your area- look at Nigerian as a whole
Re: Average Age People Start Being Sexually Active by 3kay945(m): 10:57pm On Dec 17, 2025
Where i grew up, average age for being sexually active differ according to family financial status.

Meaning, na average of 13 years for the girls from poor homes while 18 or 19 for peeps from rich homes.
