My guess is that most of the supposed sex going on is by individuals from North America and the western European nations. I would guess that the middle eastern and Asian countries do not participate based on language barrier, religion and social customs.

@@creativity.studio4967 Like I mentioned in another of Nick's videos, I was told many tales of the OV antics by participants. This was in the 1980's, things may have changed, but I doubt by much. It was confirmed that people who couldn't even speak each other's language were hooking up, attracted by sheer animal magnetism to each other! And coaches trying to act like chaperones, unsuccessfully.

I'd say focus on trying to adjust to a higher level of competition get ready for harder workouts and long track meets if you're willing to put in the work it's super rewarding and fun I'd recommend training in the off season to get ready for the jump I'm not sure how things are where you are but where I did track the indoor and outdoor high-school seasons usually overlapped so I'd be training and competing from October until June so be ready for a mental drain it's really all mental it boils down to how much you love the sport
