A âsmoothâ trigger is the opposite of a âgrittyâ trigger. When pulling a smooth trigger to the rear it will present a constantly increasing level of resistance (or simply constant resistance in a single stage trigger) and will feel like two smooth and oiled pieces of metal sliding across each other.
For the purpose of this study, the definition of virginity loss is whether the respondent had heterosexual vaginal intercourse. With that in mind, the average age of virginity loss for American men is 16.9 years old, and the average age for American women is 17.2 years old. The percentage of Americans who have never had sex is consistently higher for young women than young men between ages 15-18.
It also found that women and men are losing their virginity at a much younger age compared to previous generations. The average age they first have sex is 16, whereas those now in their 60s did not typically lose their virginity until the age of 19.
