who took these surveys? The church? I find this difficult to believe.
Most of the time you read in the news about the findings of a sexual behavior study, it is stated in broad terms as though it applies to the majority of people. Yet when you dig into the details it turns out that the study's data is limited. For example, a study on HPV in college-aged women doesn't have any data on middle-aged women, but you're led to believe the data represents all women unless you research the data yourself. Same with ED among veterans with PTSD -- don't assume the numbers apply to men in general. Or a research study about getting the word out to young black males about the dangers of HIV. Or a research study about sexual assault among minority women. In all of those studies the data is about a limited sexual behavior or experience (not about sexual behavior in general) among a limited group (that age group only, or only vets with PTSD, etc.). It's always a lie when the science media generalizes from the data of those studies and makes you think your sex life is abnormal.
Not so with the study I showed you. It's the only large sexual behavior study ever done that wasn't trying to solve a problem and, therefore, it wasn't limited in scope. It was just trying to see what all sexual behavior is going on in this country regardless of age or marital status or income level or whatever. In other words, it's the only sexual behavior study that represents all of us.
And it tells us that when it comes to sex, worldly people talk the talk but don't walk the walk. LOL To me it's fascinating that us Christians sit back and let the people who have sex the less frequent and are less satisfied be the ones to speak loudest about sex like they know what they're talking about.
