As far as I know, though, the only people who actually care much about these statistics are other men and particularly male comedy writers.

Well done, son. ;-)
Actually, to be fair I no longer put myself in the "nerdy guy" category. I used to, but my time at college has upped my confidence a lot, to the extent that I'll freely flirt with anybody who comes near me, though I'm rarely serious about it. There are one or two girls I rather like the look of, and I'm not afraid to see if things could be moved on with one or either of them (one at a time, of course!) through chatting and dashing flirtatiousness. I'm also in a position where I'm trying to turn down somebody who I'd sort of lead on through indiscretion, because I thought that I could grow to love her, but I don't think I can - I'll have to do something about that.
But I try to present myself as a fairly serious chap who likes to play the amiable theatrical idiot - it's a role that's got me a lot of friends. :-D
I'm still worried about the sex thing, but not that I'm still a virgin - more that I find the idea of sex quite nerve-wracking, in a sort of "This is the moment where you lose your innocence!" type way. I'm feeling quite lonely at the moment, as it happens, and yearn for romantic female company - but I'm a chap who likes lots of holding, and kissing, here, there and everywhere. The act of sex itself isn't too important to me, really, but kissing is. Hmm.
