What percent of Gen Z men are virgins?


We also assembled a focus group of nine Gen Zers to dig a little deeper into our findings and found that Gen Z — an age group generally defined as born between 1997 and 2012 — thinks about virginity differently. More than 37% of the Gen Zers BI surveyed — ranging in ages from 18 to 26 — said they hadn't had sex yet.Dec 14, 2023

Not at all, well not me anyway.
Every generation seems to think that it is the bee's knee's and that anyone 'younger ' than them are inferior. I think we all heard it from our parents generation when we were young too.
Let the kids have their day and live their lives as they see fit. It was all we wanted when we were young.

I am glad you're satisfied with your choice. But it's a far cry from what you posted many years ago. Whatever happened to having three children of your own? Your own family.? You sure made a big deal about it back then. Why haven't you posted a thread about that? What a loser...

remember picking it up in Phuket airport in 2011 i think , with a dose of the blue and the shakes heading home . Worth a read if unspectacular . The Thai nightlife and its dark side still had a certain mystique at that age - long worn off now I'm glad to say

It is a great novel.

Hello Locke and welcome to TD.
Have you confirmed the accuracy of the research

I think this book will be of interest to forum members:

It takes an understanding, positive (and sometimes humorous) approach to the subject of sex work and customers in Bangkok & Pattaya.
Written by a scholar who did field work here.

There are other books, of varying quality and insight, but this is the first full treatment of the topic in the past 2 decades.

This thread has gone on a tangent away from the original poster's book announcement.

It is a great novel.

I still to this day get the newbie to the Thai nightlife scene feeling , the only thing i can equate it to is the first time trying cocaine . That buzz that's so hard to replicate . The mother of all epiphany's when you realise , these filly's don't need chatting up and this fun is all one for a few thousand baht . Different fun every night

Just randomly cycling to work or hearing a decent tune that makes your head bob brings me back to those Halcyon days .

I watched one of those fly on the wall Vlogs set on Bangla road earlier in the week for the first time in maybe a year , brought memories back. Recognised a FL and a hawker girl in the Vlog , they were on Bangla 10 /15 years ago . Thought jeez - it never ends for some people

It can get a bit awkward though.....

My wife and I would occasionally hit Bangla for a night every couple of years

And she'd run into some girls that were still there or had to come back after a failed relationship

My wife saying "Oh I live in Canada"


There is a bit of a sadness to it....


We stopped going into the Sois and just hit the big music bars on Bangla

I think there's plenty of them around Bangla. We stopped in at Freedom bar, top end of the old Eric, now otherwise lifeless, and 2 of the best lookers were 41 and 45. Good looking ladies with conversation skills ... probably other talents as well. Younger girls just sat around, not interested in us old fellas.

There weren't many that Ao actually knew from back in the day
Maybe a handful.....

Her best friend just got divorced
She still is beautiful at 40yrs old

And was talking about going back to Patong

But she has zero interest in farang and I don't think she'd do well overseas at all

We love her to death, but a bit of an airhead.
