There's only one way to do that - no?
Well, then THIS CANNOT STAND!
We must get more “sex positive” propaganda and pressure out there.
“Brave New World” is the utopia that we leftists seek!
I hate articles like this. All fluff and no substance.
How many of these ‘youth’ believe in Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth fairy? I’d guess approximately 61%.
Without age groups, this article is pointless. What ‘youth’ is going to tell their Sunday School teacher “Yeah, I’m the biggest slut in school”, or “I’ve already nailed 6 classmates”?
What answer do you THINK you’ll get from a church based ‘research’?
This is akin to doing a study on how many people arrested on possession of pot, swear that that bag of weed wasn’t theirs. Golly ... I’ll be it’s even higher than 61%
“61 Percent of Teens Want to be Virgins until Marriage”
Not buying it.
How about “61 Percent of The Teens That We Asked Say They Want to be Virgins until Marriage.”
Good for them! These are kids to be proud of...
FYI....CPAC televised LIVE on C-span 3. At 2:30 EST, Forum on Traditional Marriage begins
It is mildly encouraging, but, the sample was hardly scientific.
Voluntary, self-defined teens on the internet could have been anyone.
A comprehensive survey that includes the right percentage of public, private, and homeschooled teens would really show the truth.
However, many parents won’t let their kids participate in “surveys,” I probably wouldn’t, I don’t trust the surveyors not to put pervy ideas in their heads, like:
“Would you like to remain a virgin until marriage?”
“Would you consider oral sex, sex?”
“Have you ever desired to have sex with a __________?”
“How many times? And how often do think about _____?”
It’s like a scuzbag in an alley asking your kids all these questions, so I wouldn’t trust it. Etc., I’d be suspicious.
These stats are messed up, so I don’t believe this report.
Note:
“Sixty one percent of America’s youth said they would like to not have sex until marriage”
“63 percent of respondents said they would like to regain their virginity if possible. “
If true, that means 63 percent are not virgins (those who would like to regain it).
So it’s like they said “Yeah, I’d like to be a virgin, even though I’m not.”
Where did they find a group of teens where 61% were virgins in the first place? I’m calling BS.
Having two sons in high school, I'm seeing a lot of very nice, well-grounded sensible young people - wholesome really, and polite. I think many of them are sobered by the challenging economic world they're entering, and they're taking their studies very seriously.
As part of our political process, I recently met our local magisterial justice, who is responsible for 6-7,000 cases annually involving our local community. She has been on the job for over 20 years, and she thinks that the local youth crime rate is steady, not increasing. The only thing she sees increasing among youth is under-age drinking.
These local observations give me hope that some of the excesses may be running their course.
Not surprising when oral and anal sex is an acceptable alternative to too many teens. Only vaginal counts.
Were I parent of a teen today, I would allow no dating activities until age 18. The risks outweigh the benefits, and there’s plenty of time for dating in adulthood.
