Usually when people say stuff like this they experience their first intimacy in their 20s at the earliest, not at 16, which is probably not uncommon at all for “first experiences”, and I would argue it’s still a bit early.

At 16 you're not allowed to watch porn (legally), but somehow it's too late for OP

You’re totally right. My explanation contained a lot of insecurity because of high-school pressure, so while I felt behind, I was on a level playing field with most teens exploring their sexuality. My bad lol

Over 50% have had sex by 16. Going by that and my childhood experience. I assume alot of teens try something around 12 to 14.

So yea, no intimacy by 16 is weird.

Its an easy google search mate.

Ps. Having looked at more recent numbers, the average has jumped to 17 years, with only like 30 something % doing it by 16 years. I was likely remebering numbers i looked up 10 years ago.
