Those stats cannot be right.

    They’re not.

    A quick google search:

    In Japan, roughly 50% of young adults aged 18-29 report being virgins.

    In the UK, about 46% of people aged 16-24 identify as virgins

    10% of US males under 34 are virgins. (Source)

    EDIT: The OP seems to be citing data from at least 15 years ago. But that’s precisely the problem: the world seems to have changed in that time. We have 3 times the number of virgins across age groups in just a few years, for instance.

    That is not how source work. Without citation you are just claiming that it is a different number. This is in no way better than what you are disputing.
