Like, 100%? I mean, some might be bloated/tired, etc, but it seems unlikely that most people would not want to do that. First time for both of them, now that's the real question. I'd wager for any Western country it's not more than 5% of people.
"Survey found that only 40 percent of couples are having sex on their wedding nights. Contrastingly, 20 percent of guests are getting it on.

But if they aren't having sex, what are newly married couples actually doing on their wedding nights? According to the survey a little more than a quarter of them (26.3 percent, to be exact) ate food in bed. TBH, getting crumbs in the bed is a nightmare of mine, so this sounds pretty terrible to me, personally, but I can understand why the concept would be appealing to others.
The next most common thing to do is pretty much the most millennial thing you'll ever hear: A whopping 25.4 percent of couples choose to look at photos of their wedding on social media rather than have sex with each other on their wedding night. I want to judge them so badly, but honestly, I could really see myself doing the same.
Next, 22.9 percent of newlyweds decided to spend their night opening their wedding gifts which, again, as much as I'd like to judge, sounds like a blast. Especially when all of those gifts come from a registry that you hand-picked yourself. It's like every gift is exactly what you wanted. What a dream.
Finally, a little over one in five newlywed couples (21.5 percent, to be exact) don't get around to having sex because they're up all night partying it up. As a person who loves sleep a lot, that's a group I have a very difficult time relating to. But, hey, more power to them.
The point here? If you don't wind up having the best sex of your life (or any sex for that matter) on your wedding night, you're most definitely not alone. So don't feel guilty for chowing down on room service with your bae as you scroll through all the pictures your guests uploaded of the most magical night of your lives. You're allowed to end the best night ever however you'd like to."
Heavens, that sounds utterly miserable.
I wonder how closely that stat tracks with divorce rates hitting 50%+ in some places. What an awful situation.
Anecdotal, but the last two weddings I went to the bride and groom didn't have sex the night of their wedding. One wedding the bride and groom rented out a ranch in central Texas where a large portion of the wedding was staying so we ended up partying until like 6 am until everyone eventually passed out. The groom and I were the last ones standing and the bride had passed out long before. Uppers will do that to you. Other wedding my buddy who got married said they were way too drunk and tired when they got back so they just crashed and consummated it in the morning instead.
I think it’s probably more than the 40% Isaiah quoted and less than 100%. Yes, people have largely already had sex, and it’s less “special,” but there’s still a draw to the tradition of things.
As for the proportion of people who are virgins at time of first marriage, that’s around 3% according to the Guttmacher Institute, which publishes a number of figures on human sexuality and reproduction. Perhaps some slightly higher number of people would also include people who have never had sex with each other although they have had sex with other people, but you’re probably not going to have something larger than 10% of people never having had sex before with the person they are marrying for their first marriage. So the novelty is largely limited for most. Tradition is the draw.
