Just a reminder that you can't make up for missing out on young love.
You can have victories later in life, but they will never get you the pure love of a teenage girl. Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates have never experienced that and will never experience it no matter what they have and what they achieve.
Missing out on sex and intimacy when your body was craving it the most will leave psychological scars that will never heal. It's like having poor nutrition in childhood that stunts your growth. Sure you can buy all the food you want when you're older and you have a nice job, you can eat meals at the most expensive restaurants, but you'll be a manlet forever because you can't make up for some things you missed. Same thing with missing out on love and intimacy at a crucial time except it's your emotional development that will get stunted and you will carry that damage forever.
From the National Institutes of Health:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2156059/Although indeed in theory abstinence is the only certain way to avoid STIs and unintended pregnancies, delaying initiation of sexual activity may also create health risks by impeding development of the emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal skills that are crucial to satisfactory sexual functioning and general well-being.
tl;dr missing out on young love will poison the rest of your life
