Understanding Late Bloomers in Sexual Relationships

Late bloomers often feel inadequate in sexual experiences due to societal norms that suggest a certain timeline for sexual activity. While the average age for losing virginity is around 17, many individuals find themselves starting later, which can lead to feelings of self-doubt and concern. It's important to validate these feelings as they are common and can even persist into adulthood, influencing one's current relationships and self-esteem. Acknowledging that many others share the same experiences can soften the sense of isolation for those who categorize themselves as late bloomers.
