Virgins have same rate of sexually transmitted diseases as non-virgins
10 Mar 2004

American teens who have vowed to abstain from sex before marriage have the same rates of STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) as sexually active teenagers. According to a new study, they are probably failing to practise what they preach.

According to a survey of 15,000 kids aged 12-18, a whopping 88% who vowed to abstain from sex before marriage (remain virgins) eventually broke their pledge during their teens. The survey was carried out nationally and included all social classes (a representative sample).

...........................

The survey was funded by the NIH (National Institutes of Health).

.............................

Dr. Peter Bearman, Lead Researcher, Columbia University, New York, USA, said the pledge movement was not aware of what was really happening sexually among adolescents. He said 'Ideological programs designed to make serious interventions in public health programs tend not to work.'

.............................

THE RESEARCHERS SAID THAT PLEDGING ACHIEVED THE FOLLOWING RESULTS:

-- Kids had sex later
-- Kids had fewer partners
-- Kids got married earlier

PLEDGING DID NOT ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING:

-- Fewer incidences of STDs
-- Fewer teen pregnancies

Is it safer there than in a bank?

What kind of returns are you getting on your investment?
