Are you still a virgin? Believe it or not, it's not because you have not found your Mr. Perfect--it's because of your mom! And no, we are not kidding. You might not know it yet, but the reason why perhaps you are putting off popping your cheery is because you share a close bond with your mother. At least, that's what science says.

According to a study published in the journal Pediatrics, the stronger the relationship between a mother and daughter is, the longer a girl waits to have sex for the first time.

To come to think of it, it's actually no brainer. Do you remember who you had your first birds-and-the-bees talk with? Your mommy dearest, of course. Since, it is usually the mother who has that conversation about sexual intercourse with her daughter, she is undisputedly responsible for shaping her perspective in this regard.

For instance, all mommies make it a point to warn their little angels against unwanted pregnancies and STDs while educating them about sex.

Also, if you share a warm and open relationship with your mom, it gets easier to approach her on matters of sex, instead of getting influenced by unhealthy nudges.

A Dutch study, which implored this equation, was conducted on 2,931 boys and girls. The participants were asked about their sex lives and the relationship with their parents when they were 12 and again when they were16. It was found that girls, who were close to their mothers were 44% less likely to have sex by the time they reached 16. Fathers, on the other hand had no influence whatsoever. If we draw a parallel between the study and Indian women, the revelation is indeed a gospel of truth. Honestly, how many mommies have you heard saying, "Nahi beta, shaadi se pehle nahi". So, there you go. When mumma says no, you turn into a dutiful daughter and abide by it.
