To give you a good taste of how they bias studies like that and the way they report the results, take a look at
this article.

There is no shame in sleeping around in todays culture. I'd say: There is no shame in todays culture. [Not quite true, but far too few parents teach kids the significance of shame.]

I do think it would help if they also encouraged boys to remain chaste until marriage.

I was kinda skeptical about pinging you folks, but this thread has all kinds of flavors in it for good reading.

“So where are the balls with boys pledging their mothers to keep their pants zipped?”
I think young men need examples and instructions from their dad in this regard. They don’t respond to “ballroom” fantasy nights very much.
Give a girl a chance to dress up and go to a dance and you’ve got her attention!
Just my theory, it’s the dads that make the difference for the teen girls AND the teen boys. So hang in there dads.

Super Bowl tickets for chastity?
To: Question_Assumptions
I do think it would help if they also encouraged boys to remain chaste until marriage. With my son when he began to date, I old him that he must treat every girl he dates the way he would expect boys would treat his little sister.
That worked well and when he was in his senior year of high school and had been dating a girl for almost a year, he confessed to me that both wanted to have sex and he was not sure he could meet the expectations I had encouraged.
At that point the lesson became, use protection, use protection, use protection even if she says she is on the pill.

Why do some people who are promiscuous and/or who believe it is O.K. to be promiscuous, claim it is NOT right to be preached to about the virtue of virginity for teens and single young adults, but have no problem thinking they must condemn, besmirch and laugh at virgins. Why? Because they are liberals and liberalism is a mental disorder, manifested most often by hypocrisy.

How about asking him if he plans on marrying the girl? If he doesn’t, then why is he wasting both of their time?
To: lewisglad
I smell a class-action suit against olive oil makers if this is true! ;-P
Seriously, this biatch’s opinion means the word no longer has meaning? What a twit!

How about asking him if he plans on marrying the girl? If he doesnt, then why is he wasting both of their time? I will leave it to my son to decide who he is most sexually compatible with and who he wishes to spend the rest of his life.
And at 19 and in college, being married is the last thing that he needs.

Interesting point..Wow, something like that would kind undermine this chick's complaint.
Hmmm...I wonder if there are any examples of boys making a public pedge or demonstration of sexual purity....golly I guess there aren't any.
Except maybe for these guys:
You may think they suck as a musical group but they wear purity rings. Or are they...gasp...Hypocrites?
Many young men take purity pledges and wear rings to symbolize their pledge. The author not surprisingly ignores this

And you have no problem with other guys treating his little sister the same way?
