Germany keeps good statistics on it, the tl;dr is early loss of virginity peaked around the turn of the millennium, and has been steadily going down since then. The sexual revolution never got questioned in Germany once it was through (sadly, you can't annoy reverends by kissing in front of their church, any more), no "abstinence only" sex "education" to be found anywhere. The by far overwhelming reason kids cited is "didn't yet find the right one", only exception being girls with immigrant background, there it's "am still too young", though that number is falling towards "didn't yet find the right one".
Not on that page but when being given a couple of choices saying "which of these things would be a calamity for you right now, and how bad" something like 99% of girls respond with "pregnancy would be the worst". Teen abortion rates are still very low (at least for a country not caught up in Catholic morals) but that's due to low pregnancy rates in the first place combined with extensive support thrown at teen couples.
