Study: Teen Girls Leading Sexual Revolution
Friday, October 14, 2005
Dave's Daily reports:
A study that began in 1943 and ended in 1999 shows that teenage girls are having sex at a younger age than ever before and are taking the lead in dismantling sexual taboos.
According to the study, the percentage of young girls who participate in premarital sex jumped from 12 to 79 percent, while the percentage of young men who participate in premarital sex jumped from 42 to 71 percent.
Study co-researcher Jean Twenge said birth control and cultural acceptance are the main reasons for the changes. She does not feel the prevalence of sex on television has contributed as much to the phenomenon as people think.

OH C'MON, GIVE ME A BREAK! Isn't sex on the media also an indication of cultural acceptance?
