Secretly they'd love it!

Imagine the scandal when a conservative senator is caught soliciting sex from a woman

In the end you'd have to blame the woman. Everyone knows that a woman's lust is insatiable enough to try to turn any man away from his true sexual destiny. Even in the bible, women are responsible for offering the forbidden fruit to Adam. The representation of the snake entering the woman in the bible is enough to make my skin crawl! Personally I believe satan is responsible for the existence of sexual reproduction between different sexes. Before then, Adam could have given birth out his anus like any good man.

The study's methods are questionable to begin with, relying on honest responses from a group of participants that knew they were being tested. The individuals who took part obviously knew what the desired outcome was, and most likely, their responses were tailored to meet those expectations.

Or maybe they were completely honest.

Who knows because nothing is known about the study. As was previously pointed out, it has not been subjected to peer review nor the methods scrutinized, which make the studies findings useless. Once the results can be replicated, then they may be on to something.

Nothing is ever going to stop teenagers from having sex. It is what they have been programmed to do by biology.

As a somewhat related aside, I recommend everyone check out Penn and Teller's Bullsh*t episode on teenage sex.

The safest method of safe sex is obviously for the woman to take an aspirin... and hold it between her knees.

When most studies I see point towards abstinence only lectures not working, as well as understanding human nature and adolescent psychology....and seeing it happen all the time...well it's pretty obvious what's true.

Wouldn't work, I've seen what some girls can do with their hips.  

Now I am finally starting to understand the story of the virgin Mary.

thranx, I really don't want to come off as lecturing you, because I agree with a lot of what you say, but...butt...I don't think you are approaching this from the perspective of a teenager. I quite remember what it was like being a teen, and it really did not take much to get in a girl's pants. Additionally, having been in relationships nearly all my life, I also know how fragile a girl's confidence is, and I've seen a lot of girls that I liked get easily manipulated and lied to.

I also wouldn't blame the media either. Since I am both a US and French citizen, I spent some time in France and their media is much more sexualized. In your average vogue in France there's nude women, and nudity is everywhere. All of the rest of the world is like this (generalizing). The difference here, really, is that we've managed to turn sex into a taboo, and a thing "only adults do". And when you put thsoe ideas into the fragile mindsets of teenagers, with their lack of self-confidence, naivete, misunderstanding, and nobody to talk to about it, along with a very strong foundation of rebelliousness in our media (and self-centeredness, and also the crazy hormones they put in our food) you end up with a bunch of teens who want to grow up too fast and develop tits when they're 10.

Plus a culture in which we have large suburban areas with really nothing to do (I remember being extremely bored in the rural suburban areas, and girls and drugs were natural pasttimes- which is supported by the fact that drug use is higher in suburbs than in cities), and parents who are too afraid to talk to their kids about anythign sex related....

It's a country of uninformed, hormonolly unstable, confused, bored teens whose only real options are have sex and be labeled a miscreant by a fair portion of the country, or save sex until marriage and possibly end up with someone for all the wrong reasons, sexually dissatisfied, and possibly with kids that they don't actually want yet, but are taught that condoms are evil.

It's a whole mess of a problem, and as much as I think religion is a good basis for being a god person, it really is the significant contributor to the entire situation.

I mean, please tell me you've jerked off before. Well, I was raised catholic, and partly christian and told that it wasn't only evil, but gay as well. In my teens I had significant social problems because I thought I was a pervert, and gay jokes hit me because even though I didn't like guys, I was always thinking "what if I am gay, and don't know it".

To boil it down again, the control aspect of religion, and the demeaning "undisputable biblical facts" make life very difficult, and goes very much against the natural order of things. It's no wonder that there is the commonly held term "dirty catholic schoolgirl". Those girls are the biggest sluts you will find. Why? Because of the strict control. Christian girls aren't far behind, but they're raised far more psychologically, and their faults don't surface until later when they're angry married women. My dad's first wife was Christian, only had sex with 4 men. Married 4 times, 7 children in total.

Uh... that would qualify as absititance only teaching.
