No, its not abnormal at all to be a virgin at your age. There are plenty of guys who are virgins at 23. Despite what you hear, not everyone has sex in high school. I saw one survey that showed a little less than half of high school seniors had lost their virginity by graduation. Most lose their virginity during the college years, but again, not all. There are many people who chose to wait until marriage before having sex for religious and personal reasons. Often this keeps them virgins well beyond 23. Also, keep in mind that unless you freely talk about your virginity, nobody knows you are a virgin for sure except for you. Many people could just as easily assume you are not a virgin. As for your friends, I highly doubt most of them were having sex at 16. Maybe a few were, but not most. At that age, a lot of guys lie about their sexual experiences to make themselve seem like more of a "man" to their friends. It's just part of the male competitive spirit driven by huge amounts of testosterone.

As for experience - don't worry about that. Wait to have sex with someone you truly love - that will be the most enjoyable sex experience you can have. If you're with a woman who truly loves you, your lack of sexual experience won't matter in the slightest. In fact, she may even find it cute that she is your first one. And experience will come very quickly. Sure, those first few times will be a bit akward, but you'll get the hang of it real quick.

Just my opinion, but I recommend that you stay a virgin until you meet that "right girl" who you truly love. Avoid trying to do a one night stand with someone you don't really care about just to have sex. It will be worth the wait to have sex with the right woman.
