We found that headline to be intriguing, as if more virgins are being manufactured daily. Of course, the reference is to the number of people choosing to remain chaste into their late 20s. And the study mentioned here says that more people are choosing to wait longer.
Although, later in the story, we find that for the TV show "Virgin Diaries," a person can be a reclaimed virgin and still count. "Reclaimed" as in a person used to be sexually active, but now is not. Hmmm.
We couldn't find the exact research the story is based on by searching the National Center for Health Statistics website. But we uncovered the results of the Vital and Health Statistics report for 2010. If you like lots of numbers, this is for you. And it shows how people aren't as depressed as all those commercials for anti-depressants would have you believe.
