Losing your virginity is no longer a race that starts the moment you hit 16. Instead, a growing number of people are deciding to wait longer until a time that's right for them.
In fact, research from University College London's The Next Steps project released this week reveals that one in eight 26-year-olds surveyed are still virgins. According to The Times, this figure was closer to one in 20 for the previous generation.
In light of the finding, five millennials who have never had sex tell HuffPost why they are yet to lose their virginity, and how they (and others) feel about it.
