Based upon the same logic of all those pot study “conclusions”, we can only conclude than unprotected sex causes stupidity too.
Now go tell all the childruns!

Risky unprotected sex linked to weak working memory in teenagersLOL! I know how THIS study was done.
Mom: What did you do last night?
Teen: I don't remember.
Mom: Who were you with?
Teen: I dunno.
Mom: When did you get home?
Teen: Beats me...
Mom: Did you have sex?
Teen: Who knows.

I think they want young virgins for personal usage.

Years ago I read a philosopher who said, ‘individuals who engage in sexual activity before they are emotionally/psychologically mature become like wild animals’....and never develop properly
I have to wonder if there has ever been an actual study of that.

So if these teenagers do “safe” sex and use a condom, then there are no issues? What the heck?

Or the kids engaging in the risky behavior are stupider or more intoxicated/drugged than their peers.

There’s a sweet SF short story called “Gomez” by Cyril M. Kornbluth in which a failure of memory linked to sex is an important plot element.
