Look at the whole thing in context. I also said that there is no specific age at which a person needs to start having sex and that there's nothing wrong with a person being a virgin at 40.
I then expanded on the idea in my subsequent post.
Suave interpreted the context correctly.

I still say, if someone at age 39 isn't mature enough to handle sex, there could be an underlying problem with that individual.

That's true. It could also be a conscious choice for religious or moral reasons, a lack of opportunity, or a lack of desire. My point is that just because a person is a virgin at a particular age doesn't tell us anything about that person except that they haven't had sex yet.
