With sex tied to marriage, the first sexual experience for Indians is occurring later than ever

The median Indian man has his first experience of sex at nearly age 25, the last among men from 67 countries for which comparable data is available, the National Family Health Survey released last month shows.

The NFHS, and similar surveys conducted around the developing world through the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) system, help shine a light on the nature of sexual activity in India. The NFHS data shows that the median Indian woman has sex for the first time at age 18.9 years and the median Indian man at age 24.8 years.

Moreover, nearly two in three young men (age 15-24) had never had sex by the time of the survey, the NFHS data showed, a number that was surpassed by just six other countries, including Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan. One in three Indian men in their late twenties had not yet had sex. In contrast, just one in 10 women in her late twenties had not yet had sex.
