    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.

      18-29

      That’s hell of a range here. You can be 19 when you’ve been asked the question and lose your virginity next year.

      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.
