Never been kissed - Japan's teen boys losing out on love
But a new survey of Japanese high school students has revealed that four out of five 15-18-year-old boys have yet to reach the milestone.
And things aren't looking much different for the girls, with just over one in four female high schoolers having had their first kiss.
These are the lowest figures recorded since Japan first began asking teenagers about their sexual habits back in 1974 - and are likely to be a worry in a country with one of the world's lowest birth rates.
The study by the Japan Association for Sex Education (Jase) quizzed 12,562 students across junior high schools, high schools and university - asking them about everything from kisses to sexual intercourse.
The survey takes place every six years, and has been recording a fall in first kisses since 2005 - when the figure was closer to one in two.
But this year's report found kissing was not the only area which had seen a fall in numbers. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it also revealed a drop in the numbers of Japanese youth having sexual intercourse.
