21 and not a virgin? Welcome to new India!

New Delhi: Are you against the government lowering the age for consensual sex in India from 16 to 12? You probably make a compelling case for thousands of young Indians who lose their virginity at 21 anyway. A mature, sexually well-informed, conscious of safe sexual practices, if slightly conservative young Indian has emerged out of a survey on sexual habits of youths.

The IBNLive "How Young India loves: the under-25 sex survey" also shattered some myths about the way youths love in a society newly liberated from sexual dogmas. Read on to find out more about what Indians do under the sheets, at what age and how frequently they do it.

We bring you the results of the survey in a three-part series.
