"These days"? 17 year-olds wanting to have sex has always been normal. Historically it's actually pretty late - for most of our existence it would be odd for somebody to "wait" until they were 17. But even in modern times: every generation has dealt with the problem. Some handled it better than us, some worse and some just hid it better... but the drive has always been there. But every generation has longed for "the good old days" when there wasn't such a rush. We're pushing around biological imperatives with social constructs... let's see which wins. ;^) I agree that our generation tends to be more open about it. Kids in the 50's may have wanted it just as much... but they didn't have Internet porn making it look like a competition. They didn't have teeny-bopper divas telling them "sex isn't cool" while grinding their asses at the camera. But still... they WANTED IT. (Or then again maybe I'm just jaded since my great grandmother had my grandmother when she was 15...)
