The "hooking-up" and "friends with benefits" trend in today's colleges is NOT something that was going on in previous generations.

I'd be curious to know what percentage of the 95% only had premarital sex with their eventual spouse. That would tend to shoot a hole in these researchers' theory.

The high rates extend even to women born in the 1940s, challenging perceptions that people were more chaste in the past.

Born in the 40's? Baby boomers!

Of course they got rid of hubby and the kids, got the dog-chewed-on-it short haircut and moved to Santa Fe where they quit having sex but claim to be 'very sexual beings'....

Maybe my family is a bunch of freaks, but both my parents, my sister, and I all fit into that 5%.

I don't buy it. I know several friends who abstained, as well.

But I seriously doubt the number of parnters was as high for those born in the 1940s as they are today...

Thats it...because of this PROOF we must never again even suggest virginity and purity to kids or anyone for that matter...its now a dead issue. Everybody try on the shoe before marriage now, after all 95% of us did so...just ask these folks.

The counterculture always wants you to believe everyone is doing it, everyday, and in the streets.

Not too long ago the homo's were trying to make you believe 10% of the US is gay, and that all females would soon have AIDS, cuz they were the fastest growing group.

Oh yeah, and McKinsey and his big survey...? They were taken using US PRISONERS as survey subjects....

Maybe the respondents were confused and thought the poll takers meant 'test driving cars'. Or, the respondents were thinking manual manipulation of their own genitalia.

I wonder if they considered "rape" as sex before marriage.

According to numbers I've heard (perhaps, their own), up to 25 % of women have been raped.

If this was figured "per capita" it might be my fault.

God forgive me, I once was lost.

I believe it. I don't know a single virgin before they were married.

Why is this "researcher" stuck on the age of "44", "by the age of 44"...and "by the age of 44", etc.?

What if the research only took us to say the age of "43", does his "findings" then support abstinence? Geez.

Using such an arbitrary age makes the "study" look, well, arbitrary, maybe, biased is a better word.
