| curl-6 said: I sense a huge amount of hypocrisy in these numbers. For example, only 36% say porn is okay, but I bet a lot of the other 64% consume porn. Only 38% say teenagers having sex is okay, but I bet more than 38% of people had sex as a teen. In fact, the average age of losing one's virginity in the US is 16-17: https://kinseyinstitute.org/research/faq.php |
I'm in agreement with you on teenagers having sex with each other.
As to pornography though, hypocrisy isn't likely a significant factor. You might be surprised to learn that the most current survey data I've seen on the topic (already linked to in my earlier post on porn here in this thread) indicates that 53% of American men and just 25% of American women consume pornographic material. Cumulatively, that amounts to a minority of the population. Any seemingly contradictory difference that might be left over can likely be explained in addicts who want to quit.
