Love Most Popular Reason For Teens To Have Sex
Survey Finds Details Of Sexual Behavior

POSTED: 4:36 pm EDT September 6, 2005

Forty-two percent of teenagers who say they are virgins are waiting to meet the right person, according to a study by Teen People magazine.

The publication surveyed more than 4,000 virgins and 1,500 non-virgins between the ages of 12 and 24, asking different questions to each group.

Forty-two percent of those who are sexually active say they are in love.

Thirty-nine percent of the virgins have taken a pledge to save sex for marriage. Only 6 percent of that group said they have given and received oral sex.

Among those who are sexually active, 41 percent of the girls started having sex at 13 or 14; 35 percent started at 15 or 16, and 23 percent began at 17 or 18.

Sixty-four percent said they were happy about their decision, though only 34 percent of the girls are still with their first partners.

Sixty-five percent said that their parents still think they are virgins.

Thirty-two percent say they use condoms every time, but 13 percent never do

This whole article disturbs me. With all the sex ed. we provide in our schools, you'd think these stats would be better.
uh, what sex ed? You think any of these kids are actually being educated? lol

blah, sorry about that Blackrose, I hit edit instead of reply again...lol

I read that with a terrified look on my face. That, and the low rate of condom use. I don't know what kind of sex ed you guys have where YOU live, but our local schools have been hijacked by right-wing nuts who tell kids to just say no to sex and exploit the failure rate of condoms.

Kids w/no self esteem + no sex education + no supervision - condoms = high rate of STDs and unplanned pregnancy.
